Co-designed with one of North America\u2019s largest freight carriers, Overroute helps logistics teams reduce manual coordination and drive asset optimization<\/i><\/p><\/a><\/a>

LOWELL, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Overroute, an AI-native freight technology company built for carriers and logistics operators, today announced its public launch after a year of co-design with J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. (Nasdaq: JBHT), one of the largest supply chain solutions providers in North America.<\/p>

Overroute\u2019s AI agents are in use by operators across all of J.B. Hunt\u2019s business units, working on millions of loads inside one of the most complex freight carrier networks in the industry.<\/p>

Overroute\u2019s platform today uses AI agents to automate the coordination work behind every load, with a roadmap toward broader asset optimization. It was built to work directly within carriers\u2019 existing systems to read live data, surface exceptions, and support operators in managing customer communications \u2014 without requiring operators to change the tools or workflows they already rely on.<\/p>

\u201cWe operate one of the most complex freight networks in North America, and that gives us a unique opportunity to take emerging technology and apply it at real scale,\u201d said Nick Hobbs, chief operating officer of J.B. Hunt. \u201cOverroute is an example of a broader strategy where we\u2019re using AI as a force multiplier within our expansive network to reduce friction and improve how freight gets executed every day.\u201d<\/p>

Overroute was developed through J.B. Hunt\u2019s work with UP.Labs, announced in October 2024, an initiative focused on building startups to address complex challenges across freight transportation. Overroute is the first startup announced as part of this effort.<\/p>

\u201cOur agents have been tested against the real complexity of enterprise logistics, including the exceptions, the edge cases, the change management, the human judgment calls,\u201d said Alex Reed, CEO of Overroute. \u201cWe represent a new category in freight technology: Agentic AI built alongside J.B. Hunt operators, inside real freight workflows, with real data, real users and measurable outcomes.\u201d<\/p>

Overroute is working with carriers and enterprise logistics operators as it prepares for its next commercial deployments. Additional information is available at overroute.com<\/a> or via contact@overroute.com<\/a>.<\/p>
