Small and mid-sized carriers and brokers move 50% of America's freight, a $500 billion slice of the $1 trillion US logistics industry. The majority of them lack the money or the IT department to build AI. We built it inside a working logistics company, Sherpa Auto Transport, an affiliate of RoxStart AI Logistics, and the proof is now on the books.The result: a 3.73× operating-profit lift.
T. Michael Riggs walks through RoxStart directly, the proof, the platform, and why he opened it to the small and mid-sized carriers and brokers who move America's freight.
"We didn't write this AI on a whiteboard. We built it inside our own logistics company, ran our own freight through it, and the books showed what happened. Now we're opening it to the small and mid-sized carriers and brokers who move this country."T. Michael Riggs · Founder & Owner, RoxStart AI Logistics
Katie Helton, CEO and co-founder, on the access gap between what smaller carriers and brokers have and what they deserve, the Sherpa numbers that proved it is solvable, and what the May 2026 Supreme Court ruling changed for every freight broker in the country.
The Solution
RoxStart is an agentic AI company building the complete operating system for the trucking logistics industry. A full platform that handles every critical function of running a brokerage or carrier operation, intelligently, automatically, and without adding headcount.
Our design philosophy
Built to adopt fast and to scale far. Sign up and go, keep the cost to serve low, and get more value out of the platform as the network grows.
Customers onboard by signing up. Integration is optional, so a carrier or broker can be running in minutes rather than months, and they connect existing systems by API whenever it suits them. That is how the platform signs customers at software speed instead of enterprise speed.
AI runs compliance, invoicing, and dispute resolution, automating the work that would otherwise take headcount. Our cost to serve stays low, and that is what puts enterprise-grade tools at a price small and mid-sized carriers and brokers can pay.
Everything we build, especially for carriers, works from a driver's phone or tablet. Mobile is core to how the platform is designed. Drivers capture events, sign documents, and get paid from the cab.
Every carrier or broker who joins makes the platform more valuable. A growing network strengthens the data, the vetting records, and the payment rails for everyone on it.
RoxVault automatically creates a timestamped vetting record every time you select a carrier capturing FMCSA authority, safety scores, insurance status, and your approval decision in one retrievable file. The result is a complete audit trail that documents the diligence you already exercise, organized and accessible when you need it.
Careful brokers already vet with real diligence. What the ruling changes is the value of having that diligence written down, on every load, in a form someone else can review. The largest brokerages built compliance teams and carrier-vetting systems years ago. The rest have been doing the work by hand, in inboxes and spreadsheets.
They need that same record while keeping the team they already have, and they need it running the day the next truck rolls. RoxVault gives them documented vetting from day one.
Safety record, compliance posture, and operating history on any carrier. Pulled in seconds, in one place.
Every booking and every shipment documented. The proof of reasonable care a broker can point to later.
One sealed vetting file a broker, an insurer, or an attorney can pull on request. Ready whenever anyone asks.
The U.S. trucking industry generates more than $1 trillion in revenue annually, yet the market is largely driven by 580,000 small and mid-sized trucking and brokerage companies. While most operate fewer than 100 trucks, together they move half of all freight in America and account for 99.3% of trucking and brokerage businesses nationwide. RoxStart is purpose-built to help these operators compete, grow, and operate more efficiently.
Big Trucking is building its AI. The mid-market is the largest open categoryin technology. We aim to be the leader in AI adoption for small to mid-sized trucking logistics companies.
Sherpa Auto Transport is a working logistics business inside RoxStart's parent group. The platform deployed across the operation. The Sherpa figures here are what showed up on the books. Operating profit grew 3.73× over the period.
Sherpa Auto Transport past performance is not indicative of future RoxStart AI Logistics results.Sherpa's operating profit grew 3.73× on the books across the 12-month period. A 7× operating-profit lift is RoxStart's forward projection as the platform scales and is not a guarantee. Other figures reflect the books at Sherpa Auto Transport across the 12-month period.

What a small or mid-sized trucking or brokerage company can buy today is either an inexpensive single solution that covers one piece of the operation, or an enterprise platform that covers many pieces at an enterprise price. The enterprise options ask for long implementations and an IT team to run them, resources a small or mid-sized company would have to go build first. RoxStart is the full platform, priced and delivered for the companies in between.
RoxStart AI Full platform. $1,000/mo+, with RoxVault as the entry point at $150/mo.
Enterprise buyers go straight to full platforms.
There are 580,000 carriers and 26,000 brokers who lack the funds and back-office support for expensive technologies. Our platform makes agentic AI accessible at a price and an implementation timeline that is feasible for them. Plus, with three existing brokerage operations at our parent company, we have a built-in sales pipeline to tap into immediately upon product launch.
One company. One platform. Recurring agentic AI platform revenue that compounds with every operator who runs it.
The platform
Our agentic AI platform does the work. RoxVault opens the door with the one thing the ruling put on every broker's list, and the rest of the suite follows behind it, each module built inside real logistics operations and rolled out to the platform once it is proven.

Sherpa's carrier network spans hundreds of small and mid-sized carriers and brokers who already move freight alongside the platform. The platform launches into those potential relationships. Every carrier and broker that goes live becomes the next reference.
A 2026 Supreme Court ruling placed explicit responsibility on shipping brokers for the trustworthiness of the carriers they select. Every brokerage now needs cryptographically sealed chain-of-custody and verified carrier data, fast. RoxVault was already in build before the ruling. We accelerated.
Hundreds of thousands of small and mid-sized carriers and brokers move the freight, yet almost none can fund a data-science team or a $500K AI build. They need agentic AI now, and the Supreme Court ruling just turned soon into immediately. RoxStart hands them the platform the day they sign on.
