For Small Carriers

Stop running your carrier
on Excel and prayer.

VAU0 gives small carriers — 1 to 50 trucks — the same tools that enterprise fleets pay $500/month to get. Load management, ELD, AI dispatch, compliance, e-sign, and live tracking. All in one platform. Free through 2026.

If you're managing loads in spreadsheets, tracking drivers by phone, and filing compliance paperwork manually — you're losing money every single day. This is what VAU0 fixes.
Sound Familiar?
The six problems every growing carrier hits.

These aren't edge cases. They're the exact operational failures that cause carriers to plateau, fail audits, and lose good drivers.

📊
Loads in spreadsheets
You're tracking loads in Excel. When a broker calls, you're searching through tabs. When a load gets delayed, nobody knows until the driver calls.
📞
Dispatch by phone call
Your dispatcher calls brokers one by one, manually. Nights and weekends go uncovered. Loads sit unbooked because nobody's available to call.
🗂️
Paper driver files
CDL copies in a filing cabinet. Medical certificates on sticky notes. When FMCSA audits you, it takes days to pull together documents that should take minutes.
📍
"Where's my truck?"
You're texting drivers for location updates. Brokers are calling you for ETAs. Your answer is always "let me check" — because you genuinely don't know.
✍️
Printing and faxing
Rate confirmations get printed, signed, scanned, and emailed back. Every load. Every broker. Every time. In 2026, this is not acceptable.
📋
HOS violations
Your drivers are using paper logs or a separate ELD app. Violations happen because nobody's watching. One roadside inspection away from an out-of-service order.

AI Dispatch
Your AI dispatcher works 24/7. Yours doesn't.
VAU0's AI call center has 11 specialized agents that call brokers, negotiate rates, and book loads around the clock. On a Friday night when your dispatcher has gone home, Aida is still calling.
  • Outbound calls to brokers from your load board pipeline
  • Negotiates rates with floor, target, and maximum logic — never accepts below your minimum
  • Leaves professional voicemails when broker doesn't answer
  • Sends follow-up emails automatically after each call
  • Records every call — listen back anytime
  • Books accepted loads directly into your TMS
  • Handles objections naturally — sounds like an experienced human dispatcher
  • Covers nights, weekends, and holidays without overtime

ELD & Telematics
Know where every truck is. Always.
ERETH ELD plugs into the OBD-II port of any truck. Within 60 seconds, the vehicle is on your live map, logging HOS automatically, and reporting engine data to your TMS. No driver app required to start.
  • GPS position every 60 seconds — not phone GPS, real ECM data
  • HOS automatically logged from engine connection — no driver input needed
  • Engine fault codes sent to your dashboard instantly
  • Hard braking, rapid acceleration, speeding events flagged automatically
  • DVIR completed digitally — defects tracked through repair
  • IFTA mileage automatically recorded by state/jurisdiction
  • Share live tracking link with brokers — no portal access required
  • HOS violation warning sent 30 minutes before driver reaches limit

Driver Onboarding
Hire a driver in 48 hours, not 2 weeks.
The average carrier takes 10-14 days to onboard a new driver because of paperwork back-and-forth. VAU0 cuts that to 48 hours. Drivers apply online, upload documents from their phone, and e-sign everything digitally.
  • Driver receives application link — fills everything out on their phone
  • Uploads CDL, medical certificate, previous employer contacts
  • Employment history collected automatically with date verification
  • Drug test consent form signed electronically
  • Company driving agreement e-signed in one tap
  • DQ file assembled automatically — all documents in one place
  • FMCSA-required 3-year employment history collected digitally
  • Recruiter sees application progress in real time

Rate Con AI
Upload a PDF. Load created automatically.
Your dispatcher's biggest time sink is manually entering load data from broker rate confirmations. VAU0's Rate Con AI reads any broker PDF and creates the full load — origin, destination, rate, stops, broker contact — in seconds.
  • Upload PDF directly in VAU0 Portal or via Telegram bot
  • AI reads origin, destination, pickup dates, delivery windows
  • Rate, broker name, and reference number extracted automatically
  • All stops created in the correct order
  • Broker contact information saved to your contact database
  • Load created and ready for driver assignment — no typing required
  • Works with any broker format — CH Robinson, Echo, Coyote, XPO, and 500+ more
  • Manual override available if AI misreads anything

Right Fit
VAU0 is built for carriers like these.

We are NOT built for 500-truck enterprise fleets. We are built for the carriers who move most of America's freight and have been ignored by software companies.

🚛
Owner-Operators (1-3 trucks)
You drive yourself, or you have one or two trucks out. You need compliance, load management, and dispatch support without paying $500/month or hiring a full-time dispatcher.
Solo operationLow overheadELD includedAI dispatch
🏢
Small Fleets (4-20 trucks)
You've grown past owner-operator stage and need real systems. Multiple drivers, multiple loads, compliance getting complex. VAU0 handles the operational layer so you can focus on growing.

Growing Carriers (20-50 trucks)
You're scaling fast and your current systems aren't keeping up. You need enterprise features without enterprise prices. VAU0 gives you the tools that McLeod charges $2,000/month for — at zero cost through 2026.

What carriers say after switching to VAU0.

"I was running everything on Google Sheets. Spent my first week on VAU0 just realizing how much time I was wasting. The Rate Con AI alone saves me 2 hours a day."

Common Questions
Questions carriers ask before signing up.

Is VAU0 really completely free?
Yes. VAU0 Portal — including TMS, ELD integration, driver onboarding, e-sign, AI dispatch, and the live map — is completely free through December 31, 2026. No credit card required, no hidden fees, no contracts. We'll announce any pricing changes with at least 30 days notice before the free period ends.
Do I need to buy ELD hardware?
ERETH ELD hardware is provided to carriers joining VAU0 during the free access period. Contact us after creating your account to arrange ELD device delivery for your fleet.
How many trucks and drivers can I add?
No limits during the free access period. Add as many trucks and drivers as your operation requires.
Can I still use my current ELD if I don't switch to ERETH?
VAU0 Portal's live map and telematics features are optimized for ERETH ELD integration. You can use VAU0 TMS for load management without ERETH ELD, but you'll miss the native GPS tracking and HOS sync features.
How does the AI dispatch work — will brokers know they're talking to AI?
Our AI agents sound like professional human dispatchers. They use natural speech, handle rate negotiations, and respond to questions appropriately. We designed them to represent your carrier professionally on every call. Brokers routinely complete full negotiations without any indication they're speaking with AI.
What happens after 2026?
We'll announce our post-2026 pricing with at least 30 days notice. Carriers who join during the free period will receive preferred early-adopter pricing.
Do I need to train my drivers on new software?
The VAU0 Driver Portal is designed to be extremely simple — drivers open it, see their loads, log their HOS, and complete DVIR. Most drivers are comfortable with it within one shift.
Can I give my dispatcher access without giving them admin rights?
Yes. VAU0 has role-based access — dispatcher, recruiter, driver, and admin roles each see only what they need. Your dispatcher can manage loads and communicate with drivers without accessing company financials or compliance data.
