AI for truck shopsLima, Ohio & Allen County
AI for a business where downtime is measured in dollars per hour.
A truck down on I-75 can't wait on hold. Your line gets answered, the unit and symptom get taken, and the job gets on the board.
Downtime is measured in dollars per hour, and a share of your work arrives as a driver on the shoulder of I-75 with a late load.
Lima sits on I-75, which means a share of your work arrives as a driver on a shoulder with a load that is now late. Whoever answers that call gets the job.
We put an agent on your line around the clock that gets the unit number, the location, and the symptom, and routes it. Behind it, fleet-account records and searchable repair history so the second visit starts informed.
Breakdown calls come at every hour and the caller is losing money by the minute.
Fleet accounts need records that a paper ticket doesn't give them.
Parts, warranty, and DOT paperwork live in separate stacks.
What the research says about businesses like yours
Published studies, not our marketing. Every source is linked.
Responding to a new inquiry within five minutes made contact 100 times more likely than waiting thirty minutes, and made the lead 21 times more likely to enter the sales process at all.
MIT Sloan / Lead Response Management study, 2007Dr. James Oldroyd; 15,000+ leads and 100,000+ call attempts across six companiesBusinesses that got back to a new inquiry within an hour were nearly seven times more likely to qualify that lead than businesses that responded even an hour after that — and more than sixty times more likely than the ones who waited a day.

Start with one. The ones marked below are where most truck shops see the fastest return — but they all work on the same operation.
Phone Agent
Answered at 2 a.m. on a shoulder
The agent takes the unit number, the location, and the symptom at any hour, and routes it — while the other shops are still ringing.
- Callers hear a friendly greeting in your voice, day or night
- New leads are captured with name, number, and what they need
- Every call shows up as a transcript you can read later
Custom CRM
Fleet accounts with real records
Every unit, every repair, every warranty claim by account — the records fleets actually judge a shop on.
- Stop losing leads in spreadsheets, sticky notes, and inboxes
- See every deal and where it stands at a glance
- Built to match your steps, so your team actually uses it
Second Brain
Repair history and specs, on demand
What that unit came in for last time, which part number fit, what the labor ran — pulled up before the tech starts.
- Stop digging through folders and old emails to find one detail
- Ask in plain words and get an answer in seconds
- Trust every answer because it shows the document it came from
Website
Services, hours, and mobile capability
Fleets and drivers want to know what you work on, whether you come to them, and whether you answer at night.
- Loads fast and looks right on every phone
- Edit your own pages by clicking or speaking, no tech skills
- Stays current because you change it the moment something changes
Automated Social Media
Reputation with fleets and drivers
Steady presence and real work keeps you on the short list when a fleet manager is choosing a shop in this corridor.
- You stay active online without writing a single post yourself
- Posts sound like you, not like a generic ad
- A steady schedule keeps you in front of local customers
Outbound Caller
PM schedules and dormant accounts
Preventive maintenance is the profitable work nobody chases. The agent books it and re-opens accounts that went quiet.
- Old leads get followed up instead of quietly going cold
- Every call opens with what that person actually cared about
- Common objections get handled instead of ending the call
Cold Email Pipeline
Fleets running this corridor
Growth means reaching maintenance managers at carriers you don't serve yet. We repair the sending setup so it arrives.
- Deliverability problems get found and fixed, not guessed at
- Your mailboxes get warmed to full sending capacity
- Your data flows into your sending tool automatically
The rest of what we build
Work-order tracking, DOT inspection records, fleet billing — built for heavy-duty work, not a car-shop template.

Where do shops usually start?+
Phone coverage first. Repair history second, because it pays off quietly for years.
