5th Webinar in the 2026 TCA Online Leadership Series

AI is reshaping how truckload carriers think about network strategy, load planning, driver performance and more, but the real competitive advantage isn’t in the tools themselves. It’s in how leading operators are putting them to work at scale.

Join Optimal Dynamics CEO Daniel Powell for a candid conversation with executives overseeing two of North America’s most complex freight networks who have done exactly that. We’ll pull back the curtain on what AI-driven automation actually looks like in production, the journey to get there, and the results they’re seeing now.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand what it actually takes to move from AI curiosity to full deployment at scale — change management, team transitions, and the metrics that matter.
• Differentiate between AI that augments your current operation and automation that fundamentally redefines how your network runs.
• Learn how automating load planning, procurement, and dispatch drives utilization, protects driver satisfaction, and eliminates revenue leakage.
