AI-powered freight brokerage. Quote, book, and track loads in seconds.
The founders
The company
LinkLane is building an AI-powered freight brokerage where any business can get a quote and book a load in seconds. Its AI agents handle the parts brokers currently do by phone — finding carriers, negotiating rates, and managing each load from pickup to delivery.
Trucking is a nearly $1 trillion market still run by call centres of brokers working the phones, and AI agents are now capable enough to take on the quoting, negotiating and tracking that defines the job. That gap between a manual industry and automatable workflows is the opening LinkLane is chasing.
Founded in 2026 by Patryk Wekwejt and Christopher Ruaño, LinkLane is betting that freight deserves the same one-click experience shippers already expect everywhere else. The company's pitch is simple: bring the Amazon experience to a market still run on phone calls.
It's early days, and the founding team is building rather than boasting a track record here. The thesis is clear enough — turn a relationship-and-phone business into software — and the pair are staking the company on executing it end to end.
