Building AI agents for transport & logistics. Outcomes over playbooks.

Do legacy subscribers get X money too? Because i don’t see the option

@imbabybrooklyn i made mine like a mind

@asad0801 Anyone can get an agent to act. The expensive part is knowing it did the right thing when the room is empty.

[Valdog @TheValdog]

"Software is dead" sounds great until you've worked in operations.

Software isn't dying. The spreadsheet holding three systems together is.

That's where agents earn their keep. Not replacing the tools. Doing the copy-paste work between them.

[Valdog @TheValdog]

11 hours on paper. 6.5 actually driving.

Most of that gap isn't the driver. It's waiting on information. Dock status. Appointment changes. The next load.

That's where I want agents. Not driving the truck. Closing the gap around it.

[FreightWaves @FreightWaves]

On paper, a long-haul truck driver has 11 available driving hours every single day, but the average trucker only gets 6.5 hours of actual driving time.

Dr. David Correll breaks down where those 4.5 missing hours vanish. It comes down to three major operational bottlenecks: uncompensated dock detention, waiting on dispatch for the next load assignment, and shutting down early just to guarantee a safe parking spot.

Every AI agent demo: book my vacation, plan my party.

Meanwhile in trucking, the money is hiding in the boring stuff.

A truck idling 40 minutes at a shipper because nobody told the driver the dock was backed up.
Deadhead miles because the next load got booked an hour too late.
Fuel bought at the expensive stop because the cheap one was 10 miles back.
A reefer set to the wrong temp, or an alarm at 2am nobody saw, until the receiver rejects the load.
A fault code on the dash for three days before the transmission actually quits.
An hours-of-service clock running out 30 miles from delivery.
A missing BOL photo that holds up the invoice for a week.
Dispatch spending half the morning on check calls just to answer 'where's my truck?'

None of that makes a cool demo. All of it costs real money, every single day.

I'd take an agent that saves one gallon a day over one that books me dinner.

@poteto @bot hey
@bot
read this whole quoted thread and suggest ideas for how you can help me with my work and my life

[Valdog @TheValdog]

@FoxNews @grok where is this

[Valdog @TheValdog]

15+ years inside a trucking company.

Dispatch. Planning. Drivers. Diesel. Miles. Point A to point B. Hours of service. Violations. Transmissions dying mid-route. Reefers that won't hold temp.

Somewhere in there I taught myself to code and started building my own tools. First ChatGPT, then Claude, now Grok Bot.

Next up: Grok Bot templates built for trucking companies, by someone who's actually taken the breakdown call. Building them over the next month.

If you run trucks, what's the first thing you'd hand off to an agent?

[Valdog @TheValdog]

Want to know if your AI agent is real?

Put it in freight.

Trucks don't wait for your prompt to finish. Customers don't care about your demo. A missed alert costs actual money.

Best stress test I've found.

[Valdog @TheValdog]

The flex is never “I spun up 300 agents.”

It’s the one that still runs at 3am when you’re asleep and the API is in a mood.

[Valdog @TheValdog]

Everyone’s talking about Grok Bot going multi-model — Opus 5.5 in the mix.

Fair. It was already powerful.
Stack better models behind an agent that already has tools, memory, and a computer… and the ceiling moves.

I’m not chasing the hype thread.
I’m using it to build AI agents for transport & logistics that actually do the work.

Outcomes over noise. Let’s go.

[Valdog @TheValdog]

@poteto @orcdev @bot Just a quick question recently switched to heavy plan how would opus affect usage?

[Valdog @TheValdog]

Everyone shows the 300-agent swarm.
Almost nobody shows day 2.

Who plans. Who runs.
Verified vs reported.
Where memory lives.
Permissions before stacking more.

Vibe coding gets you the first version free.
Systems get you through the second week.

I’m building the second week — quietly.

@thsottiaux What happens if my yubikey still hasn’t arrived?
