Woke up today around 0500 to a call from myspot and it almost sounded human but i could not tell at the time. It was asking how far i was from my delivery in groveport oh so I tell the thing about 20 minutes as i was in Columbus at the moment. It says great, are you at the receiver yet?
I am still wiping the sleep out of my eyes here when i say once again i am in columbus. It says okay, you are in coulombs ohio and 20 minutes from the receiver. It then asks me how long it would take them to unload me, and if i knew what door number i would be assigned when i got there.
For a second there I imagined i was dreaming this and must still be asleep. When it kept going on and i realized this is a computer that i was talking to i finally just hung up on the thing.
Brokers are now using ai, and asking stupid questions.

I hate brokerages using AI with a white hot passion. Once a load is picked up, especially if it's being tracked already, I do not answer the phone.

You should play it back a video of a retro internet dial up tone and see how it likes that

Spot seems to be one of the more AI aggressive brokers lately. You can hardly get past it. Others I've noticed that seem to be turning up the AI intrusiveness are Epes and RXO.
I would think TQL would be using it but I wouldn't know because I don't call or work for TQL and wouldn't p**s on them if they were on fire. But I doubt they would use AI because high schoolers need jobs.Tmac493 Thanks this.
