Freight Network Intelligence
Know Which Lanes Fit
Before You Bid
LaneFlo helps carriers, brokers, and 3PLs analyze RFP lanes against their real network — so they know what to bid, what to price high, where to procure capacity, and what to avoid.
The Problem
Winning bad freight is expensive.
Most teams can pull a market rate.
That is not the hard part.
The hard part is knowing whether the freight actually fits your network before you submit the bid.
A lane can look profitable in a spreadsheet and still create deadhead, weak coverage, one-way freight, service problems, and margin compression after award.
LaneFlo shows the network fit before you commit.
See which lanes connect to freight you already move
Find backhauls and triangles hiding in the data
Know which lanes need more procurement
Price high or walk away — with the data to back it up
Stop bidding blind.
Know the fit before you win the freight.
Market rates tell you what a lane costs. LaneFlo tells you whether the lane belongs in your network.
Built for Both Sides of Freight
Built for Asset Carriers, Brokerages, and 3PLs
For Asset Carriers
Protect your network before you win the freight.
See which shipper lanes complement your existing freight, create backhauls, or help reduce empty miles. Price aggressively where the freight fits, and avoid lanes that create imbalance.
- See which shipper lanes fit your existing freight
- Identify backhaul and triangle opportunities
- Spot lanes that create deadhead or imbalance
- Bid aggressively where you have a structural advantage
- Avoid winning freight that weakens the network
For 3PLs & Brokerages
Build the bid around real capacity — not hope.
Compare customer lanes against carrier preferences, known capacity, and coverage gaps. Find carriers that already want the freight, then build better bids around real network fit.
- Match customer lanes to carriers already running those markets
- Find procurement gaps before the RFP is due
- Build carrier-specific opportunities around lane fit
- Discover backhauls and triangles across customer networks
- Give sales a better answer than "we can cover it"

network opportunities
Network Fit
Score every lane before you bid
Each RFP lane gets a fit score based on deadhead risk, carrier coverage, backhaul potential, and network density — so you commit to the right freight with conviction.
- Fit score combines deadhead, backhaul, and carrier coverage
- Identify coverage gaps and uncovered markets instantly
- Rank entire RFPs by network value in seconds
Backhaul Matches
+ 2 more matches below threshold
Route Opportunities
Find backhauls, triangles, and quads hiding in your network
Surface return loads, three-leg circuits, and four-stop loops that keep equipment loaded — ranked by fit, deadhead, and volume across your entire lane file.
- Match outbound lanes to return-load opportunities automatically
- Build 3- and 4-leg continuous circuits from your data
- Reduce empty miles and unlock hidden network value
Bid Strategy
Know what to bid aggressively and what to avoid
Turn lane scores into a bid strategy. See which lanes to pursue hard, which to price defensively, and which bundles deliver the best combined network value.
- Strategy breakdown: how many lanes to bid aggressive vs. avoid
- Auto-bundle lanes into circuits for stronger bids
- Recommended bundles with combined fit scores

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about LaneFlo.
LaneFlo is a freight network intelligence platform that helps brokers and carriers visualize how their lanes connect. Upload your lane data and instantly see backhaul opportunities, triangle and quad routes, RFP fit scores, and network coverage gaps.
LaneFlo is designed for freight brokers managing shipper lane networks and carriers looking to optimize asset utilization. Whether you run 5 trucks or 500, the platform surfaces hidden efficiencies in your existing lane data.
All you need is a CSV with origin/destination city-state pairs (or ZIP codes). Rate, volume, and equipment type columns are optional but unlock richer scoring. We provide a template to make formatting easy.
LaneFlo scores lanes based on geographic proximity, directional alignment, volume compatibility, and network density. Each backhaul, triangle, or quad opportunity gets a composite score from 0-100 so you can prioritize the highest-value matches.
A backhaul is a return load that reduces deadhead miles. A triangle route chains 3 lanes into a continuous loop (A→B→C→A). A quad route chains 4 lanes similarly. LaneFlo automatically detects all three across your entire network.
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Lane data is isolated per team with row-level security. We never share your data with other users or third parties.
Absolutely. Join the waitlist to get early access with a free trial period. You can upload your lanes, run the full analysis, and see results before any payment is required.
Yes. Each RFP gets its own pipeline view with status tracking, deadlines, bid coverage, per-lane notes, contact management, and lead assignment. You can track an RFP from first upload through final bid submission.
LaneFlo exports multi-sheet Excel workbooks (final RFP lanes + notes), PDF summaries, and CSV files. Export permissions are controlled per team member by admins.
Yes. Teams get role-based access (owner, admin, member), per-lane commenting, lead claiming, and a full audit trail. Every action — uploads, edits, exports, permission changes — is logged for compliance.
