What's in the pack

The Paperwork, Handled.

01

Load Quotes in Minutes

Ramble the job into your phone at the shed — get back an itemised, professional quote with your waiting-time terms before the forkie's finished loading. Includes the follow-up that wins the quiet ones.

02

Invoices That Get Paid

The 3-rung reminder ladder: friendly nudge, firm follow-up, calm final notice. Written once, sent on schedule — so you stop lending brokers money in diesel.

03

Messages You've Been Avoiding

Running-late notices, rate rises, damage claims, the broker shopping your quote — firm where it counts, friendly where it matters, never grovelling.

04

Marketing Without the Cringe

Google Business profile, one run turned into five Facebook posts, and the introduction letter that wins direct work instead of broker scraps.

05

Drivers & Subbies

Job ads that attract drivers instead of tyre-kickers, interview questions with the red flags marked, induction one-pagers and the driver-or-subbie decision laid out.

06

The Boring Stuff

Maintenance logs in the format an auditor expects, renewal calendars, cost-per-kilometre worksheets, expense sorting your accountant will thank you for. AI drafts it, you check it. The only version anyone official ever sees is the one you signed off.

What this actually looks like

Ninety Seconds of Rambling In.
A Finished Quote Out.

What you say into the phone

“Quote for Macca at the produce shed. Two loads of packed melons, shed at Wamuran down to the Rocklea markets, needs the fridge van obviously, set at four degrees, he wants them picked up Tuesday and Thursday arvo, tipping by five next morning both runs. I want eleven hundred a load plus GST. Hour free at the shed, they're usually quick, markets end can drag so make sure the waiting time's in there. Oh and his forkie loads, I just strap.”

Rough as you like. Half sentences, trade slang, prices out of order.
What comes back, about twenty seconds later

Hi Macca,

Wamuran → Rocklea markets, refrigerated at 4°C — Tue pickup$1,100 + GST
Wamuran → Rocklea markets, refrigerated at 4°C — Thu pickup$1,100 + GST
Loading — your forklift, driver strapsincluded
Waiting time beyond 1 hour free each endper terms below
Total$2,200 + GST

Plus the delivery windows written out, the temperature spec, your waiting-time terms in full, and payment terms — the clause that stops dock time quietly costing you money.

Every figure in that quote came out of the ramble. Nothing was invented — anything you don’t say comes back marked [CHECK: …] instead of guessed. This is the worked example from Chapter 3, and the prompt behind it is the first of the free five.

Who Wrote This

I’m Not a Owner-Driver. That’s the Point.

DH

I’m Dan Harrigan. I build automation tools for a living, out of Far North Queensland. Every working day I do the thing this book teaches — talk a mess of notes at a machine and get a finished document back — so I’ve found out the hard way where it works and exactly where it will drop you in it.

What started this was watching people who’d been at it since six in the morning lose a Sunday to paperwork that should have taken ten minutes. That problem has been solved for about two years. Nobody told the trades, because everyone writing about AI is writing for people who sit down at work.

Every prompt in this book ran in my own business before it went in. If one of them doesn’t work for you, reply to any email I send you and say so — it’s me on the other end, not a support desk.

The Book

AI for Truckies

The Australian & New Zealand Edition

AI for Truckies by Dan Harrigan — Australian and New Zealand edition — book cover

Book owners get the complete 36-prompt library as a free download — the Starter Five is just the warm-up. And the prompts are only the tools; the book is the system: the 30-day plan that installs the whole thing ten minutes at a time, the reminder ladder for getting paid, the marketing engine, and the guardrails — what AI is genuinely good at in a transport business, and where it will burn you if you trust it blind.

No hype, no jargon, nothing you need to be a tech person for. If you can ring dispatch and ramble a job down the phone, you can run every system in this book.

Straight Answers

The Questions I Actually Get.

Do I have to pay for anything to use this? No. Everything in the free pack and everything in the book runs on the free version of ChatGPT. If you already pay for one it’ll be a bit quicker, and that’s the whole difference.

Will it make up my prices? It will if you let it — which is why the number-one rule in the book is that it never gets to. Every prompt is built to hand back [CHECK: …] for anything you didn’t tell it, instead of guessing. Your rates come out of your head and nowhere else. There’s a whole chapter on where AI will burn you, because that’s the chapter that stops it happening.

Are my customers’ details safe? First names and business names only — never a driver’s licence, never a card number, never a customer’s home address. A load quote doesn’t need them and neither does the AI. It takes about ten seconds to get into the habit and it’s the one rule I’d want you to follow even if you never read the rest.

Will it sound like a robot? Out of the box, yes — which is why most people try AI once and give up. The first prompt in the free five is the fix: it comes back in plain working English, no “we are delighted to present”, no exclamation marks. If a customer can tell, the prompt has failed and I want to hear about it.

I’m hopeless with computers. If you can leave a voicemail you can run every system in this book. Nothing to install, nothing to configure, and no typing beyond what you’d put in a text message. Talking beats typing the whole way through — that’s the point of it.

Everyone’s flogging AI at the moment. They are, and most of it is written for people who sit down at work. Take the free five, run them tonight, and if they’re no good you unsubscribe in one click and you’re out an email address.

For Fleets

Running a fleet of three trucks or thirty?

One person getting fast at this is useful. A whole fleet doing it the same way is a different business — every quote that leaves looks like it came from the same outfit, because it did.

The Fleet Licence is the same Pro Pack, licensed for up to ten people in one business, plus a one-page rollout sheet for getting everyone onto it in a week rather than a quarter. A$299 once — no seats to manage, no renewals, no per-user billing.

Email Me About the Fleet Licence

Goes to me directly. I’ll send an invoice you can put through the business, and the files land the same day it clears.
