What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• get_freight_brief

  Start here for any general freight market question. FreightFA's daily freight brief in one call, with no inputs: today's U.S. national truckload rates per mile (dry van, reefer, flatbed, all-in including fuel) and diesel, next week's truck rate outlook, truck capacity, how rail c

• estimate_truckload_rate

  Estimate a full-truckload freight rate for a lane using FreightFA's rate engine. Returns a directional benchmark for planning. Each call counts as one estimate toward the account's monthly FreightFA allowance.

• estimate_ltl_rate

  Estimate a less-than-truckload rate using FreightFA's CzarLite-basis tariff calculator. Returns a directional benchmark for planning. Each call counts as one estimate toward the account's monthly FreightFA allowance.

• estimate_rail_rate

  Estimate a Class I carload rail freight rate for a commodity, distance, and weight. Pass origin and destination to check for active freight track near both ends (USDOT rail network): rail_access names the railroads nearby, and a lane with no track within 50 miles of an end return

• estimate_intermodal_rate

  Estimate a door-to-door domestic intermodal (rail + truck) rate between two U.S. places: drayage to the nearest Class I ramp, the rail line-haul, and drayage from the destination ramp, with the ramps used. Says when a lane has no intermodal service. Each call counts as one estima

• estimate_barge_rate

  Estimate an inland waterway barge freight rate for a bulk commodity, origin, destination, distance, and weight, from USDA's weekly downbound grain barge rates. Only priced when both ends are Mississippi/Illinois/Ohio River ports, the lane runs downriver, and the shipment is at le

• recommend_mode

  Rank the freight modes (dry van, reefer, flatbed, intermodal, rail, barge, dump truck) for a shipment between two U.S. places, with the reasons for each, and return the lane distance in miles. Use it first when you only have city names or ZIPs, then pass the distance to an estima

• ask_freight_analyst

  Ask FreightFA's AI freight analyst a question in plain language: lane rates, mode choice, capacity, fuel, carrier vetting, market news, or drafting an RFP. Answers cite their sources and can include a priced rate card. Pass session_id from a previous answer to continue the same c

• get_market_snapshot

  Today's U.S. national truckload rates per mile for dry van, reefer, and flatbed (FreightFA all-in rate including fuel), FreightFA's live-quote index, and EIA diesel, each with its FreightFA as-of date and the change over the last 7 days. Use it for 'what are truck rates right now

• get_market_outlook

  FreightFA's forecast for next week's U.S. national spot rate per mile (all-in including fuel) for dry van, reefer, or flatbed: the current weekly average, a p10/p50/p90 band, and whether rates look to be rising, falling, or stable, with the rationale and caveat. Omit the equipmen

• get_rail_market_outlook

  How U.S. rail carload prices are moving: the change in Class I railroads' average revenue per carload versus a year earlier, from their SEC filings (fuel surcharges included), for Agricultural or Industrial freight, with the outlook where it has passed a backtest. Omit the group

• get_freight_index_outlook

  Latest reading and next-period outlook for a global freight index: drewry_wci (Drewry World Container Index, $/40ft container), baltic_dry_index (dry bulk shipping), tac_air_index (air cargo rates), or iata_jet_fuel (jet fuel price). Omit the index to get all four. A forecast ban

• get_barge_outlook

  USDA weekly downbound grain barge rates for the river corridor between two Mississippi, Illinois, or Ohio River places, with next week's outlook where it has passed a backtest. Says when the places aren't on a priced corridor. Does not count toward the allowance.

• lookup_carrier

  Vet a U.S. motor carrier from FMCSA SAFER data: operating authority, safety rating, insurance on file, driver and vehicle out-of-service rates, and FreightFA's report with concern assessment, risk explanations, and recommended verification checklist. Present the carrier details t

• find_intermodal_hubs

  Look up U.S. intermodal rail hubs by city or state: which Class I railroads serve the metro, the named ramps to ask a carrier about, and notes. Leave both out to list every hub. Does not count toward the allowance.

• explain_freight_term

  Plain-English definition of a freight market index, ratio, or charge from the FreightFA glossary: OTRI, OTVI, load-to-truck ratio, NTI, Cass Freight Index, RCAF, fuel surcharge, freight class, detention and demurrage, DIM weight, bill of lading, deadhead, accessorials, linehaul,

• get_freight_news

  FreightFA's newest freight news: FreightFA Pulse market stories and updates (truck, rail, ocean, industry), articles from The FreightFA Brief newsletter, videos, and podcast episodes. Returns titles, dates, short summaries and links, newest first. Filter by source or by a topic k

• calculate_margin

  Margin on a load from the buy rate (carrier cost) and sell rate (what the shipper pays): margin in dollars and percent of sell, the per-mile spread when miles are given, and the sell price needed to hit a target margin. Pure arithmetic; does not count toward the allowance.

• check_freight_bill

  Compare what a shipper was billed (or quoted) for one truckload or LTL load with today's market price for the same lane. Use it when the user uploads, pastes, or describes a freight bill, carrier or broker invoice, or rate confirmation and asks whether the price is fair. Read the

• draft_pushback_email

  Draft an email to a broker or carrier pushing back on a truckload quote, using the market benchmark for the lane and this week's market direction. Set want_counter to true to also draft a counter-offer. If no benchmark is given, the national all-in rate for the equipment is used.

• create_rfp

  Create a draft freight RFP in the user's FreightFA account with up to 50 lanes, and benchmark each lane against the market. Returns the RFP id, a link to finish and send it in the RFP Builder, and each lane's benchmark. Free accounts can have one RFP.
