Maximal
ActiveAI-nativeTruckload Planning at Machine Precision
What it does
Maximal is building autonomous systems to plan and move the world's freight. Our first product is a context-aware algorithmic load planning platform for full truckload (FTL) carriers. Our agents plug into a carrier's existing ERPs and communication channels, using that context to generate holistically optimized load plans. The result: carriers earn more revenue-per-mile while spending less time planning. Our founding team * grew up in 3PLs and trucking companies * studied the math behind transportation science at Cornell, Columbia, and USC * developed the technology that optimizes Amazon's distribution and fulfillment center network
