A working hypothesis for CRST International

Help CRST clear the dispatch and compliance work behind each load so drivers spend more time on the road.

CRST's open postings are almost entirely CDL-A drivers - over-the-road team lanes, owner-operator and lease-purchase seats, and a few regional and local runs. Behind each of those drivers is a steady stream of onboarding documents, compliance checks, settlements, and load-status questions that operators still handle by hand. The first useful OpenNash workflow would take one of those recurring exceptions and turn it into a reviewed, source-linked packet that an operator approves.

OpenNash builds custom 24/7 AI agents for customer support, back-office, and operational work. We automate workflows end to end inside the systems your team already uses: secure, auditable, and human-reviewed where it matters.

Business thesis

CRST makes money when drivers, loads, and compliance move without delay.

CRST's business depends on getting drivers ready, compliant, and matched to freight quickly. OpenNash helps teams clear onboarding and operating exceptions before they slow capacity.

CRST company overview
Make money

Keep more trucks ready to move.

Faster driver and compliance reviews help protect available capacity and service reliability.

Save money

Reduce manual follow-up.

Cleaner packets can cut repeated document checks, missing-information loops, and recruiter or operations rework.

10x productivity

Make every driver operations team faster.

OpenNash can prepare reviewable packets so staff can approve, edit, or escalate more cases in less time.

What OpenNash is

Reliable, auditable AI workflows for the work that actually runs the business.

We study how your best humans solve hard work, replicate the skill, and build AI agents that automate the repetitive parts while keeping people in control of exceptions, approvals, and judgment calls.

M.01

Time to production: 4-8 weeks

We do the workflow audit, build the agent, connect the tools, write evals, and launch against real operating cases.

M.02

14-day no-charge pilot

Forward-deployed engineers embed with your team, watch the best operators work, and prove one workflow before you commit.

M.03

Built on your software

APIs, CRMs, data warehouses, dashboards, spreadsheets, inboxes, browser-only portals, and legacy systems.

M.04

U.S.-based, on site if useful

We will fly to you, work with the people doing the work, and price the pilot risk so you do not have to.

Zero to Agent

We teach the basics, then build inside your real work.

Step 01

Learn

We explain the pieces in plain English: models, tools, context, approvals, evals, and why reliable agents need more than a prompt.

Step 02

Build

We connect to the tools that finish the work today and replicate the process against real test cases before automation.

Step 03

Launch

Human-in-the-loop review, monitoring, audit logs, recovery paths, and automated tests keep the agent reliable in production.

Evaluations are the difference between a demo and a production workflow. We write test cases for incomplete requests, unusual documents, portal errors, approval paths, and edge cases so the agent can fail safely, ask for help, and improve from real reviewer feedback.

Research snapshot

Where CRST International appears to be adding people

Every visible CRST posting is a CDL-A driver role, weighted heavily toward over-the-road team lanes with a handful of owner-operator, regional, and local seats. That mix suggests the busiest back-office work sits around dispatch, driver onboarding, and settlements - a hypothesis worth confirming with the operators who live it.

Three problems worth solving

Three problems worth solving.

DISPATCH AND LOAD STATUS

Dispatch exceptions should not wait while someone rebuilds a load's story by hand.

Most open roles are over-the-road and team lanes, where a single delayed load ripples across appointments, driver hours, and customer updates. When a load slips, an operator often rebuilds the full picture from several systems before deciding the next move.

Our point of view

OpenNash would assemble load, route, appointment, and driver-hours context into one reviewed packet, then keep the dispatcher in control of the next step.

Faster handoffs at shift change and fewer loads left waiting on a status answer.

DRIVER ONBOARDING AND COMPLIANCE

New drivers should be road-ready without a week of chasing documents.

Nearly every open role is a CDL-A seat, so onboarding and qualification never stop. Each new driver brings a DOT qualification file - CDL, medical card, MVR, and prior employment - that staff assemble and re-check by hand before dispatch.

Our point of view

OpenNash would gather each driver's qualification documents, flag what is missing or expiring, and hand recruiting or safety a reviewed packet to approve - no autonomous decisions.

Drivers cleared to run sooner and fewer compliance gaps found late.

SETTLEMENTS AND OWNER-OPERATOR PAY

Pay and settlement questions should not pull operators off the next load.

CRST runs owner-operator and lease-purchase lanes alongside company drivers, each with its own settlement math, deductions, and paperwork. BOL, detention, and pay questions arrive mid-shift and send staff digging through documents to answer one driver.

Our point of view

OpenNash would pull the trip, BOL, and settlement detail behind a pay question into one source-linked packet, so staff can confirm the answer and keep moving.

Quicker, better-documented answers for drivers and less rework in settlements.

How OpenNash would help

Turn dispatch and compliance exceptions into a reviewed, source-linked workflow.

The first pilot should make the messy handoff visible, reviewable, and measurable without replacing the systems staff already use.

  • The workflow stays inside the operating workflow.
  • Every recommendation links back to source context.
  • The pilot measures whether the workflow is worth expanding.

How the first 14 days run

One workflow, live in two weeks, measured honestly.

First workflow we would test

CRST International operations and dispatch exception workflow

Day 1

Watch the work

Sit with the team that owns the workflow and record the decision points, source systems, exceptions, and approval rules.

Day 3

Map the packet

Define what context the reviewer needs, what OpenNash drafts, and what must stay human-approved.

Day 8

Run live examples

Turn real requests into source-linked packets inside a small review workflow.

Day 14

Measure honestly

Review cycle time, approval rate, edits, rework, and the exceptions that should stay manual.

No charge for the pilot. U.S.-based team — we fly to you. OpenNash connects to the systems your teams already use; nothing is replaced. Every draft, summary, and routing decision lands in a simple review flow where your staff approve, edit, or reject it, with a link back to the source and an audit trail of every action.
