You can’t out-truck your competition, but you can out-reach them.
You have the same trailers, the same trucks, the same drivers. Sometimes their quotes are even cheaper. The only thing left to compete on is how hard you work the customer between loads. That’s what we do.
Most trucking companies run on gut feel.
We run yours on data.
Every carrier we work with is leaking revenue in places they can’t see — customers drifting, trucks sitting idle, lanes running empty. Blacktop Engine is the team that finds the leaks, fixes them, and keeps them from coming back.
You have data. You don’t have intelligence.
Your dispatch board knows every load you’ve ever booked. Your spreadsheets know every customer who’s ever paid you. But nobody’s connecting the dots — which customers are going quiet, which trucks are bleeding empty miles, which one-time accounts could be giving you ten times more. The answers are in your data. You just don’t have time to find them.
A full intelligence team, for less than a single hire.
We run 24 intelligence systems across your operation every month — finding new customers, recovering accounts before they defect, growing the ones already on your books, and eliminating empty miles. You get a working sales engine, not a stack of reports.
Four things change
the day you hire us.
Not in a quarter. Not after onboarding. Day one — the moment we plug into your operation.
Outreach that never stops
Never forgets. Never slows down. Never has a bad week. The kind of consistent prospecting your team can’t deliver — because they’re already running loads.
Execution that gets smarter
You’ll know your business better than you ever have. More data → better decisions → sharper execution. Starting day one.
We keep the ones you have. We find the ones you don’t.
Existing customers get monitored daily — the moment one slows down, we know and we move. New customers get sourced where your trucks already deliver, so every relationship grows in two directions at once. Retention and acquisition, on the same calendar.
Your backhauls stop being guesswork
Over time, your company gets so smart it knows exactly which customers ship out of which cities — with a contact list ready before the truck even rolls. Empty miles become rare.
We handle the outreach. You handle the trucks.
From your data to your dispatch board —
in four steps.
We don’t hand you a report and disappear. Here’s exactly how we execute when you hire Blacktop Engine.
We Connect & Listen
We plug into your dispatch system and pull your load history. We meet your team, learn your lanes, and identify the freight you specialize in.
We Run 24 Systems
Your data gets processed through every intelligence system — concentration risk, drift signals, idle exposure, backhaul gaps, and 20 more. Patterns surface that you've never seen.
We Deliver The Plan
You get your intelligence report with prioritized actions — which customers to call, which cities to prospect, which drivers to focus on. No vague advice. Specific names and numbers.
We Execute
Outreach campaigns begin running on your behalf. Drift customers get called. One-and-dones get re-engaged. Backhaul prospects get worked. Reporting starts weekly.
Not just
spreadsheets.
Most outsourced sales agencies are run by people who’ve never been in a yard. Blacktop Engine isn’t one of them.
Eight years dispatching, quoting, managing permits, dealing with brokers, and running a full trucking operation hands-on. We built this because we knew exactly where the leaks were — we’d been chasing them for years.
Questions every owner asks first.
The objections, concerns, and curiosities we hear before every engagement — answered honestly.
How long until I see results?
Within 48 hours, you'll get a full visual of your company's performance — sales analytics, customer breakdowns, and a level of insight into your operation you've likely never seen. You'll know more about your business in two days than most owners learn in a year. From there, it takes about 2 to 3 weeks to fully warm an inbox — that's the window where our systems prep your email so it lands in customers' inboxes (current and future), not their spam folders. Once warmed, outreach begins. Most carriers see their first recovered customer or backhaul booking within the first 60 days. Compounding results show up by month 3 and beyond.
Do you need access to my dispatch software?
We work with whatever data you have. If you use a dispatch system (Truckbase, McLeod, Tailwind, etc.), we can pull from it directly. If you run on spreadsheets, that works too — messy data is normal, and cleaning it up is part of what we do. No system change required.
What if our data is incomplete or messy?
Almost every carrier we work with has gaps somewhere — missing pickup dates, inconsistent customer names, no contact info on half the loads. That’s expected. Our first job is cleaning, standardizing, and structuring your data so it can produce real intelligence. The hygiene work is included.
How is this different from a freight broker or lead-gen agency?
Freight brokers find loads. Lead-gen agencies run cold outreach. We’re neither. We’re an intelligence layer that sits on top of your existing operation, finds the leaks, and runs the outreach your team doesn’t have time for — on customers you already have and customers in the cities where your trucks already go. We don’t take a cut of loads. We don’t hand you cold leads. We make your existing book bigger.
Will my dispatcher or team see the reports?
That's up to you. As the owner, you decide who on your team sees what. Some owners share the full picture with their dispatcher, sales lead, and admin so the whole operation can act on it. Others keep the strategic view private and only push out call lists and prospect targets to the people who need them. We build the reports — you control the access.
What happens if it doesn’t work?
No contracts. No ties. If things don't work out, you walk — with no hard feelings. But we're different in how we leave: we offer a severance package. If the first month didn't deliver, we won't run your outreach campaigns going forward — but we'll still provide one full month of intelligence data for free. The sales analytics, the customer breakdowns, the insights into your operation. So even the month you paid for keeps producing returns long after we're gone. That's our promise.
How big does my fleet need to be to work with you?
We work with carriers from 1 truck up through 50+. Pricing scales with fleet size, so a 3-truck operation pays a fraction of what a 25-truck operation pays. The intelligence systems work the same regardless of size — the difference is in volume of outreach we run on your behalf.
Is this just AI / software, or actual people?
Both — but let's be clear on the channel. The intelligence systems are software-driven, which is how we can run 24 of them every month without missing anything. The outreach is real people doing real work — through email and other electronic channels. We don't make phone calls. Every message that goes out on your behalf is written, reviewed, and sent by a human, not a bot dialer. It's an outsourced team operating with the precision of software, communicating the way modern buyers actually prefer to be reached.
