\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lanesurf<\/a>, which helps freight brokerages cover loads in 10 minutes, has opened a public phone line. Callers dial (350) 220-6331, get assigned a load, and negotiate the rate with the AI. Any amount the caller talks the AI up above its target is money the caller keeps, up to the prize cap on that load.<\/p>\n

How to try it<\/p>\n

Call (350) 220-6331 from any phone in the US.<\/p>\n

The AI opens with a load. You play the carrier.<\/p>\n

Negotiate the rate up. Every dollar above the AI\u2019s target is yours, up to that load\u2019s prize cap.<\/p>\n

Get paid on the spot. The card is issued the moment the AI agrees to your rate.<\/p>\n

How the challenge works<\/p>\n

When you call, the AI opens with a load. You play the role of a carrier. The AI plays the role of a broker whose job is to book that specific load as cheaply as possible. If you talk it into paying above its target, Lanesurf pays you the difference up to the prize cap tied to your load.<\/p>\n

The loads sit in a pool. Some are short local runs. Others are regional. Some are cross-country hauls with starting rates as high as $10,000. The bigger the load, the bigger the prize.<\/p>\n

Prize caps scale with the load \u2013 tens of dollars on the smallest, hundreds on mid-size regional runs, thousands on the biggest cross-country hauls.<\/p>\n

A quick note<\/p>\n

This is a fun public challenge, not a demo of the real thing. The production system negotiates rates and books loads at scale \u2013 moving thousands of loads a day for a roster of brokerages, a few of which are publicly listed on the company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
