Impact: HighAgentic Carrier Booking2026-06-26· FreightWaves
Chain launches AI agent for carrier negotiation and freight booking

The system gathers carrier offers, checks compliance, negotiates within broker-defined pricing parameters, books routine freight and writes results into the transportation-management system. The announcement names Kevin Coomes, Param Sandhu and Annalise Sandhu.
