Staying ahead on busy US lanes
Jordan Ellis · Guest · US Operations
US freight has a particular tempo. A lane that looked quiet at 9 a.m. can tighten by lunch. Dispatchers in Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago often describe the same feeling: you are either glued to the screen or you miss the window.
Many teams start Riley Pulse in Continuous or Notify mode — watch first, decide second. That keeps the morning honest. You still choose what to take. You just stop paying for every idle minute with your attention.
When a desk is ready for more help, Riley AI Matching can surface better fits from the filters you already trust: pay, stem, shipper preference, and new freight. The point is not to replace judgment. It is to reduce the scramble.
If you run US lanes, start simple. One region. One search. Let the desk prove it can keep up — then expand.
