Pneumatic tank, hopper bottom, walking floor, end dump — dry bulk runs on wash tickets, scale tickets, and product genealogy that general freight software was never designed for. BlackIO is.
Wash compliance, scale-ticket automation, and AI agents built around how bulk actually operates.
General TMS platforms are built for dry van and reefer, then bulk features get bolted on as an afterthought — or not at all. These aren't edge cases. They're the job.
Three principles guide BlackIO — bring bulk-specific data together, turn it into decisions built for how you operate, and remove the manual work that general TMS software never touches.
McLeod or your existing TMS, Samsara, terminal and elevator systems, fuel — one secure connector layer, so wash and scale data lives next to dispatch instead of in a separate binder.
See what it feeds →Wash compliance status, scale-ticket-reconciled settlement, product lot genealogy, demurrage exposure, and harvest-calendar capacity planning — the views a dry bulk operation actually needs, alongside the executive and operations views every carrier needs.
See OptimizeAI in action →A photo of a scale ticket becomes settlement-ready data. A trailer can't be dispatched into a contamination risk. Every automated action is approved and audited, never a black box.
See ScaleAI in action →Every engagement starts with how your fleet actually operates — the trailers, the products, the terminals — not a fixed feature list borrowed from dry van freight.
Every dashboard your fleet needs, in one place — the bulk-specific views (wash compliance, lot genealogy, demurrage, harvest capacity) alongside the executive, operations, and financial dashboards every carrier runs on. One connected picture, not a spreadsheet per department.
See it live →Tracks what every trailer last hauled and blocks a dispatch assignment until the required wash is verified — food-grade after non-food, allergen-sensitive product, hazmat-adjacent loads. The compliance record regulators and customer audits actually ask for.
See it live →Photograph a scale ticket, get settlement-ready gross/tare/net weight data — no manual keying. Automatic overweight and DOT-limit flagging before the load ever leaves the yard.
See it live →Full chain-of-custody per load — product, trailer, wash record, driver — ready the moment a food-safety or customer audit asks for it.
Ag/commodity demand swings are predictable by calendar, not by guesswork — plan capacity around the harvest windows that actually drive your volume.
Secure, tenant-scoped connections to your TMS, Samsara, terminal/elevator systems, and fuel pricing. Credentials encrypted at rest, every connection verified live.
Also included: the same executive, operations, and financial dashboards every carrier needs — built once, shared across general freight and bulk-specific views.
BlackIO exists because every general TMS treats wash tickets, scale tickets, and product genealogy as an afterthought. We built the platform we wished we'd had — and we're bringing it to carriers who've felt the same gap.
