Which truck takes the new stop. Which invoice is thirty days late. Which permit expires next month. At three trucks it all lives in the owner’s head. At three hundred it lives across a dozen systems and the people paid to reconcile them. Either way the operation runs on human attention, and attention is what a growing fleet runs out of first. We started Hardtack on one idea: AI should run that day, and people should decide only what needs a person.
From the day you join, Foreman sees every customer, job, route, invoice, driver, vehicle, permit, and call. It builds the day’s routes and re-solves them when a job moves. It answers the phone, quotes from your price book, and books the job. It watches revenue and receivables, flags the overdue invoice, drafts the reminder, and reconciles the payment. It reads a weigh ticket or a permit from a photo and files it. It keeps manifests and compliance current. And it does not wait to be asked: the customer trending toward cancellation and the truck about to miss inspection each land in front of you as a move, ready to approve.
Today Foreman does the work and you approve it. As it learns how you run, the decisions it carries on your behalf will grow and the approval queue will shrink. The destination is a fleet where the routine day is handled and the owners spend their time on customers, pricing, and growth.
You approve, the software executes. Messages, charges, and schedule changes wait for your approval. Your customers’ data stays yours. We process it on your instructions and publish every vendor that touches it. Built for the trade. Container tracking, disposal and tonnage, recurring-route billing, and manifests are first-class, because they decide a hauler’s margin.
Hardtack AI Inc. is bootstrapped, with no outside investors. We use AI heavily in how we build, test, and run the platform, which is how a lean team ships a full operations system. We work the way we ask our customers to: AI carries the repetitive load, and people make the calls that matter. If your operation runs on attention you would rather spend elsewhere, we would like to hear how you run.
