What it does
The assistant picks the right tool from what you say; you never name one.
LTL rates
Up to five carriers ranked by price, each with an estimated transit time, from the dimensions and weight you give.
Partial and full truckload
A partial rate with the saving against a full truck when the load qualifies, or one direct truckload rate with mileage and transit. Dry van, reefer, flatbed and other open-deck trailers.
Freight class
An estimated LTL freight class from the weight and dimensions of a piece, with the density it came from.
Pallet planning
How many pallets a set of boxes needs, with the weight, size and class of each pallet, ready to quote.
State size and weight limits
Legal width, height, length and weight for every state on a route, so you know when a load needs permits.
Answers about shipping with us
Services, fees, claims, cargo coverage and how booking works, from our published knowledge base.
A link to book
Every quote comes with a link that opens freightsidekick.com with the shipment filled in. Booking and payment happen here, never in the chat.
The same engine as this site
The quote your assistant shows is the quote this site would show: same carriers, same rating, same booking. Nothing is re-keyed.
Every tool's inputs, results and limits are in the documentation, and how agents use it walks through a quote from the first sentence to the booking.
Use it from your own agent
The same tools, behind a key issued to your company, for an agent you build or run yourself.
- Who this is for
- A TMS or ERP that wants live freight rates, an in-house agent on Claude Code, Cursor or the OpenAI API, a workflow that prices loads overnight, or a partner's assistant.
- What you get
- A key of your own, the eight tools, quotes saved under your name so the customer can pick them up here, and the documentation. Quote calls are limited to 60 a minute and 2,000 a day per calling address.
- What it is not
- It does not book, take a payment, change an order or read account data. Booking and payment happen on freightsidekick.com, and no name, email or card is asked for in the tools.
- What happens next
- A person reads the request and replies by email with a key or a question. There is no cost to ask.

Good to know
- No Freight Sidekick account is needed to use any tool. Saving or booking a quote here creates one from your contact details.
- Rates are quotes, not bookings. Transit days are estimates, not delivery dates.
- LTL and partial quotes need the dimensions of each piece. Over-dimensional loads are priced by our team, and you get a link to continue.
- Freight only: pallets, crates, partial and full truckloads. Not small parcels.
- Cross-border lanes are priced like any other; customs is arranged by the shipper through their customs broker.
- What the server keeps and why is in the AI assistant privacy policy.
