Why freight still runs on inboxes — and how deterministic LLMs change the equation

High-volume logistics doesn’t lose loads to cheaper competitors; it loses them to 20 minutes spent reading messy customer emails and rate cons while someone else covers the truck. A teardown of how autonomous parsing bridges messy text directly into structured TMS loads without human hallucinations.
