About
Storyboard is a fleet operations platform purpose-built for the trucking industry, using AI workers to take over the manual communication and compliance tasks that burden dispatchers and back-office teams. Rather than relying on phone calls, texts, or apps, Storyboard delivers all driver communication through a voice-first interface that works in the background while drivers are on the road—requiring zero action from the driver. The platform's AI workers use two complementary approaches: deterministic logic for repeatable, predictable tasks like hours of service alerts, and agentic reasoning for nuanced, context-dependent situations such as engine idling coaching. This dual-mode architecture ensures reliability for routine compliance work while maintaining the flexibility needed for more complex coaching scenarios. Drivers can request gate codes, dispatch information, and safety updates entirely hands-free, even in loud cabs or low-signal zones. Back-office teams gain real-time visibility into fleet operations without the constant manual oversight typically required. The result is fewer wasted miles, reduced CSA scores, and a dramatically lower dispatcher workload. Storyboard is ideal for mid-to-large trucking fleets looking to modernize operations with AI-driven automation. It scales as the fleet grows and operates continuously without human intervention, making it a strong fit for enterprise fleet operators seeking measurable cost reductions and safety improvements.
Key Features
- AI Workers for Fleet Operations: 24/7 AI workers handle manual back-office tasks including dispatch updates, compliance monitoring, and driver coaching, freeing dispatchers from repetitive communication work.
- Hands-Free Voice Interface: A voice-first system delivers all messages and updates to drivers in the background without requiring any driver interaction, keeping them focused on the road at all times.
- Deterministic Logic for Routine Compliance: Reliably handles repeatable, predictable work such as hours of service alerts and regulatory notifications with consistent, rule-based logic.
- Agentic Reasoning for Complex Coaching: Flexibly manages nuanced, context-dependent tasks like engine idling coaching by applying intelligent reasoning to variable, real-world driving situations.
- Real-Time Compliance Detection & Coaching: Proactively detects non-compliance events and coaches drivers in real time, helping fleets lower CSA scores and achieve hands-free compliance across every mile driven.
Use Cases
- Automating dispatch update delivery to truck drivers without requiring phone calls, texts, or manual dispatcher check-ins
- Monitoring hours of service compliance in real time and alerting drivers hands-free before violations occur
- Coaching drivers on fuel efficiency behaviors like engine idling through context-aware, voice-delivered feedback
- Enabling drivers to instantly retrieve gate codes and dispatch information hands-free while on the road
- Reducing fleet CSA scores by eliminating in-cab phone use and ensuring continuous hands-free regulatory compliance
Pros
- Eliminates Dangerous Phone Use: The hands-free voice system removes the need for drivers to handle phones while driving, directly improving safety and reducing fleet liability.
- 24/7 Autonomous Operation: AI workers run continuously without human oversight, handling compliance and dispatch tasks around the clock and scaling effortlessly as the fleet grows.
- Significant Dispatcher Workload Reduction: Automating routine communication and compliance tasks frees dispatchers to focus on higher-value decisions instead of manual check-ins and alerts.
- Dual AI Architecture: Combines deterministic logic for predictable tasks with agentic reasoning for complex scenarios, delivering both consistency and adaptability in one platform.
Cons
- Trucking Industry Only: Storyboard is purpose-built for fleet and trucking operations, making it unsuitable for businesses outside this specific vertical.
- No Self-Serve Onboarding: Prospective customers must book a sales demo to get started, suggesting a longer evaluation cycle and an enterprise-level price point.
- No Public Pricing: Pricing is not disclosed on the website, making upfront cost evaluation impossible without engaging the sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Storyboard's AI workers?
Storyboard's AI workers are automated agents that handle manual fleet operations tasks—such as dispatch updates, hours of service alerts, compliance monitoring, and driver coaching—operating 24/7 without requiring human intervention.
How does the hands-free communication system work?
Storyboard uses a voice-first interface that delivers messages and updates to drivers in the background while they're on the road. Drivers can ask for gate codes, dispatch info, and safety updates without touching their phones or any apps, keeping their attention on driving.
What is the difference between deterministic logic and agentic reasoning in Storyboard?
Deterministic logic handles repeatable, rule-based tasks like hours of service alerts with consistent, predictable outputs. Agentic reasoning is used for nuanced, context-dependent tasks—like coaching a driver on engine idling—where flexible judgment is needed based on real-time conditions.
How does Storyboard improve fleet safety scores?
By eliminating cell phone use while driving, Storyboard reduces driver distractions and directly contributes to lower CSA scores. Proactive compliance coaching and hands-free operation ensure drivers stay within regulations on every mile.
Is Storyboard suitable for small fleets?
Storyboard is primarily designed for mid-to-large trucking fleets and scales as operations grow. Smaller fleets may find the enterprise sales process and pricing better suited to larger operations, though interested parties should contact the team for a custom assessment.
