# AI TMS for trucking fleets

RunaboutX is an **AI-native transportation management system (AI TMS) available to North American trucking fleets**. Explore how the load record, AI assistance, and human decisions fit together, then bring a representative load to a demo of the product available for your operation.

## What makes a TMS AI-native?

An AI-native TMS puts AI assistance in the context of the load and the work around it: source documents, assignments, status changes, approvals, and financial handoffs. The useful question is how that assistance changes the work a dispatcher must do and verify. Our [AI TMS versus traditional TMS guide](/resources/learn/ai-tms-vs-traditional-tms/) provides a practical comparison using the same load in both systems.

## Follow the load workflow

The [public product walkthrough](/#demo) and on-page examples show these handoffs. Use them to choose the steps you want to see demonstrated with your own load.

1. **Intake and dispatch:** Review load fields against the rate confirmation, check missing information, and examine the proposed assignment. See the [AI Dispatcher workflow](/features/ai-dispatcher/).
2. **Shipment tracking:** Compare the latest update with the appointment and identify who owns a changed ETA. See [AI Tracking](/features/ai-tracking/).
3. **Exceptions:** Inspect the source, proposed response, and effect on the next stop before approving a change. See [exception management](/features/exception-management/).
4. **Delivery and billing:** Match the POD and approved charges to the load before the invoice handoff. See [document automation](/features/document-automation/) and [AI Billing](/features/ai-billing/).
5. **Driver settlements:** Review load facts, pay rules, and approved adjustments before sending information to the carrier's finance process. See [driver settlements](/features/driver-settlements/).

[Explore all feature workflows](/features/), including [operational memory](/features/operational-memory/). Confirm which individual steps, data sources, and connections are supported for your fleet during the demo.

## What should a person control?

For an appointment change, disputed rate, or invoice adjustment, inspect the source, proposed action, reason, and downstream effect before approving it. Check how the product records who made the decision and how a person corrects the result. The [human-in-the-loop AI guide](/resources/learn/human-in-the-loop-ai/) gives your team an approval checklist.

## What a California fleet reported

During an October 1–14, 2026 pilot, a California trucking fleet reported more efficient dispatchers, fewer repetitive follow-ups and manual tasks, less stressful daily operations, and a smoother customer experience. These are the fleet's reported outcomes from a 14-day pilot. [Read the approved testimonial and pilot story](/resources/case-studies/fleet-pilot/).

## Plan your demo and onboarding

Bring one redacted load with a revised rate confirmation, an appointment change, and a missing delivery document. Bring your fleet size, lanes, team roles, and existing systems as well.

- Walk through the steps your operation needs, including how people correct AI output and approve actions.
- Confirm the specific connections, data access, and setup required for your ELD, accounting, and load-board systems. Use the [integrations overview](/integrations/) to prepare that list.
- Agree which records to import, who owns the migration, how the team will learn the workflow, and what determines readiness. The [migration checklist](/resources/guides/tms-migration-checklist/) helps structure that conversation.
- Confirm pricing, implementation timing, support, and exports for your operation before committing.

## Is RunaboutX for North American carriers?

RunaboutX is for trucking fleet owners and operations teams in the United States and Canada. Our [TMS for North American fleets](/solutions/carriers/) page explains the carrier evaluation, and the [North American TMS checklist](/resources/guides/north-american-tms/) covers lanes, ELD data, border handoffs, currencies, and time zones.

## Does an AI TMS replace an ELD or GPS tracker?

A TMS manages the load workflow. An ELD records driving-time information, and a tracking service supplies location or shipment-status signals. Confirm the actual integration and update intervals for your fleet. Our [AI fleet tracking guide](/resources/learn/ai-fleet-tracking/) shows how to test stale data and conflicting updates.
