How EdgeStack works

Your autonomous freight agent

Built for owner-operators who are done hunting loads manually. EdgeStack does the watching — you make the calls.

24/7 Load Board Monitoring

Your agent watches DAT, Truckstop, Direct Freight, and 123 Load Board simultaneously. Every new load is scored against your preferences in real time.

Always on

Rate Edge Analysis

Know whether a load's rate is above or below market before you call. EdgeStack benchmarks every opportunity against current spot rates so you negotiate from data, not gut feel.

The market is turning. Are you positioned?

After years of a brutal freight recession, the signs of recovery are unmistakable. Owner-operators who position themselves now capture the upside.

  • Spot rates climbed 6% in April 2026 According to the April 2026 freight report, the market bottomed out and carriers who positioned early are already capturing higher rates.
  • 70% of carriers expect demand to rise in H2 2026 Truckstop's Bloomberg carrier survey of 600+ owner-operators shows strong optimism heading into peak season.
  • Capacity is not coming back 60% of carriers have no plans to add equipment. Tighter supply means stronger negotiating power for the trucks already on the road.
  • Load boards are still manual and slow DAT and Truckstop haven't changed their UX in years. The gap between what's available and what you see is massive — and that's where EdgeStack lives.
