Your shippers still pick up the phone. Their inbox is wide open.
Freight desks still grow by dialing. That is why shipper inboxes are less burned than SaaS - your competitors are still on the phone asking "do you have freight?" Ken builds a full cold email campaign on 1,000 exclusive, qualified prospects for your brokerage, fleet, warehouse, or specialized desk. Get early access or book a call.

Load boards find trucks. Ken finds shippers.
DAT and Truckstop monetize capacity matching - they do not hand you exclusive shippers. Shared lead lists sell the same shipping manager to every desk on the board. Ken sources prospects from 250M people and 24M companies, qualifies each one with a freight-readable reason (headcount, industry, titles, geo, site cues - LinkedIn and website only), writes the sequence, and quality-scores it before you spend a dial. Built for the 5-30 person desk, not the mega-carrier panel.

Signals a desk that covers freight can act on.
You do not need another dashboard. You need to know who is warm before you burn another dial block.
Multi-click intent on lane maps and capacity pages
A shipping manager who opened your lane one-pager twice is warmer than a cold rate check. Ken flags the repeat and can fire the next touch or route them so you dial with a reason.
Re-engage quiet freight operators
Prospect clicked the rate sheet, then went quiet. Ken re-engages with a different angle or frees the seat in the sequence so you are not babysitting dead threads while loads need covering.
Sort trucking & freight replies the moment they land
Positive tender interest, "remove me," and carrier-capacity noise land in different buckets the moment they hit. Real shipper conversations reach you. The rest does not eat your morning.
Qualified before you dial
Score every manufacturer, distributor, importer, or brand against freight criteria a dropdown cannot hold - regional plant, mid headcount, no transportation title on LinkedIn. Visible reason on the row before you burn a dial.
Built for desks that still live on DAT, rate, and dials.
Shipper fit in freight language - not a SIC dump.
"Manufacturer, 40-150 employees, no logistics director on LinkedIn, still booking freight the hard way." Ken reads LinkedIn and website signals only - industry, headcount, titles, geo, site content - and puts the reason on every row. No funding claims. No consumer movers.
Open doors before the phone rings.
Template spam fails everywhere. Freight still has less sophisticated outbound competition - which means personalization lands harder. Ken writes from real prospect data inside human-written frameworks. In our 500k-email study, that kind of personalization lifted engagement 127%.
Land with shippers you still need to trust you.
Rate-blast energy dies in spam and burns brand with accounts you want to tender. Ken pre-checks copy against a spam-filter replica and sends on owned infrastructure. Moving clients onto that stack took inbox placement from 32% to 89%. On Ken AI, prewarmed Ken inboxes and domains are paid in credits, so your primary domain is not the guinea pig. Multichannel sequences can add LinkedIn connection requests and messages from LinkedIn accounts you connect on Ken AI.
From shipper ICP to conversations that are not cold dials.
Three steps. Nothing sends until you approve.
Describe who you cover
Paste your site or say it plain: lanes, equipment, ports, warehouse radius, shipper size, titles. Ken drafts the ICP. You edit. Under a minute - you still have freight to cover.
Review 1,000 exclusive prospects
Ken sources real prospects, qualifies each with a visible reason, segments the book, and drafts the sequence in your voice. Nothing sends until you approve it in your queue.
Send when ready
Start free and send from your own inboxes, or use Ken inboxes on Ken AI at $200/mo. Replies get sentiment-tagged. Warm shippers reach you. You still close the relationship on the phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What teams ask before running outbound for Trucking & Freight with Ken.
Relationships still close loads. They do not have to start with a cold interruption. Competitors are still dialing - that is why shipper inboxes are less burned than in SaaS. Ken warms the shipping manager so your call is a follow-up, not another "do you have freight?" interruption. Get early access or book a call.
Load boards match capacity. They do not build exclusive shipper outreach. Shared lead lists like Primax sell the same contacts to multiple desks - $350/mo for 20-40 names works out to $8.75-$17.50 each. Ken builds 1,000 exclusive, qualified prospects with reasons on each row, plus a full sequence. Start free with 1,000 credits, or book a call.
Referrals win when they show up. They do not protect a book where one shipper is 30%+ of revenue, and they do not fill the calendar on demand. Ken is the exclusive list between referral spikes - so concentration risk and feast-famine do not own the year. Get early access or book a call.
LinkedIn profile and website data only: headcount, industry, titles, seniority, geography, years of experience, degrees, and site content. Fair game examples: regional manufacturer with no in-house logistics title visible, importer in your port region, ecommerce brand with a published shipping policy and no 3PL hire. We do not claim funding rounds, revenue, or consumer movers.
Shippers you want to tender cannot be treated like a spray list. Ken quality-scores every email, pre-checks against a spam-filter replica, and sends on owned infrastructure. On Ken AI, prewarmed Ken inboxes and domains are paid in credits, so your primary brand domain does not take the first hit. You approve every campaign before anything goes out.
Book a call and see 1,000 real prospects and a full campaign, built in about 2 minutes, or start free with 1,000 credits. Ken AI is $200/mo. One direct shipper relationship at a healthy 10-20% broker margin or one warehouse brand account dwarfs that. Shared leads at $8.75-$17.50 each would cost $8,750-$17,500 for 1,000 names - and still not be exclusive. Want it done for you? Our team can run it, and you pay per held meeting.
1,000 exclusive shipper prospects. Ready to review. Nothing sends until you approve.
Ken builds your campaign on 1,000 real prospects in about 2 minutes - sourced, qualified with freight-readable reasons, written, and quality-scored. Get early access or book a call. Built for brokers, carriers, warehouses, and specialized desks that still cover freight for a living.
