For each open load in [TMS], text the driver for a location update, log it, and request the proof of delivery once delivered. Upload PODs to the TMS and list any load I need to look at.

How the agent did it
- He set up Grok Bot on the day he learned about it.
- The bot tracked hundreds of loads and texted more than 100 drivers.
- It booked loads.
@John__Ferguson, whose bio says he has been a freight broker since 2011, wrote that he had only learned about Grok Bot that day.
In the few hours he had used it, he says, Grok Bot tracked hundreds of loads and texted more than 100 drivers. It also booked loads, requested proofs of delivery and uploaded them to his company's transport management system, or TMS.
He says he did this with very limited knowledge of Grok Bot, and that the best part is the cost: $300 a month.
Freight dispatch is full of repetitive check calls and paperwork: asking drivers where they are, chasing delivery paperwork and keying it into the TMS. Those are the jobs he says the bot took on.
The post is brief and gives no detail on how the bot sent texts, which TMS he uses, how it booked loads or whether a person checked its work. The figures are his own from a first day of use. Booking loads commits a brokerage to carriers and rates, so anyone copying this may want approval on bookings while the bot handles tracking and paperwork.
Who it's for: Freight brokers and dispatchers spending their day on check calls and proof-of-delivery paperwork.
