AI Voice Agents in Freight: 2026 Market Benchmark
Six vendors selling AI voice agents to freight brokerages, benchmarked on funding, documented workflow coverage, channels, and the results each vendor reports. Built entirely from public sources.
- 00Mentium documents the most complete carrier sales automation. It is the only vendor in the set to describe automated offers at load creation, a four-stage carrier waterfall, and load board posting to DAT and Truckstop. [24]
- 01Five of six vendors document voice on both inbound and outbound calls. Parade’s CoDriver documents inbound carrier calls only. [12]
- 02Mentium is the only vendor that states a fixed integration window: TMS, voice, and email integrated in 14 days. [15]
- 03Capital is concentrated. HappyRobot and Augment hold about 90% of disclosed funding across the set. [4] [13]
- 04None of the six publishes list pricing in the sources we reviewed.

How we built this
We reviewed vendor product pages, funding announcements, and independent trade coverage published through Nov 1, 2026. A workflow counts as documented when a vendor or reputable outlet describes it explicitly. Methodology.
Limitations
This edition does not test products. It does not measure voice quality, latency, or task completion. A workflow not found in public sources may still exist.
