WakeSignal

Read the world. Predict the freight.

WakeSignal is the cargo-intelligence layer. It pulls from the systems that actually move freight markets — national weather alerts, USDA crop progress, EIA energy data, and live vessel positions — and scores risk and demand across 62 freight corridors, so the crew can price and plan against what’s coming rather than only what’s here.

How it works

01

It reads the real world

WakeSignal continuously ingests National Weather Service alerts and buoy data, USDA crop-progress and drought monitors, EIA petroleum and natural-gas signals, and live AIS positions for cargo and tanker vessels near major US ports.

02

It scores the corridors

Those raw signals are merged per corridor into weather, agricultural, and energy scores, plus vessel density around seven major port approaches — a single read on where freight is about to get tight, slow, or risky.

03

It forecasts the window

WakeSignal projects 7, 14, 30, and 60-day risk windows using historical analog years, and can assess a specific load by origin, destination, and date — turning a wall of public data into one answer about a lane.

With FreightWake

WakeSignal gives the crew foresight. When a storm is building on I-80 or a port is backing up, the signal reaches the desk before the disruption reaches the load — so quotes carry the right risk, Lane prices the lane honestly, and Pulse watches the loads most likely to slip. It is the difference between reacting to the market and seeing it coming.
