Maximal is building autonomous systems to plan and move the world's freight.
Our first product is a context-aware algorithmic load planning platform for full truckload (FTL) carriers. Our agents plug into a carrier's existing ERPs and communication channels, using that context to generate holistically optimized load plans. The result: carriers earn more revenue-per-mile while spending less time planning.

If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
