What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have Claude set up with your personal trucking business details — your preferred lanes, minimum rate, equipment type, and blacklisted brokers — so you can paste a list of loads from the board and get an instant ranking of which ones to call on first. Instead of spending an hour mentally filtering loads, you'll have a prioritized shortlist in 2 minutes.
What you'll need
- A phone or tablet with internet access
- A free Claude account at claude.ai (no credit card required for free tier)
- Your business details (target lanes, minimum rate/mile, truck type, home base)
- Time needed: 30 minutes initial setup; 2 minutes per load board session
- Cost: Free (Claude free tier is sufficient for this task)
