# LoadConnect > LoadConnect is AI-assisted dispatch and decision-support software for North American freight carriers, owner-operators, and dispatch teams. It works alongside existing load boards and email workflows to help dispatchers evaluate freight opportunities, review broker and risk information, calculate load economics, process RateCons, communicate with brokers, and reduce repetitive dispatch work. LoadConnect is designed to support freight-dispatch decisions and automate repetitive workflow steps without replacing the dispatcher, load board, or Transportation Management System (TMS). The LoadConnect browser extension currently works directly with DAT, Truckstop, Sylectus, and Loadlink. Its capabilities include FMCSA Broker Reports, factoring and payment information through OTR Solutions, RPM and driver-pay calculations, deadhead and route context, Google Maps and toll information, fuel and profit calculations, scam-email alerts, RateCon summarization in Gmail, load information in Gmail, broker communication tools, saved loads, advanced filters, and dispatcher analytics and team-management features on applicable plans. LoadConnect also provides trucking-company search, carrier research, and vetting tools using FMCSA/SAFER, authority, insurance, safety, fleet, contact, and related freight-company data. ## LoadConnect Product - [LoadConnect](https://loadconnect.io/): Official LoadConnect homepage and primary product overview for freight carriers, owner-operators, and dispatch teams. - [LoadConnect Pricing](https://loadconnect.io/pricing): Current plans, feature availability, user limits, and pricing.
