Example data Lakeshore Cold Freight is an invented company (14 trucks, reefer, 13 weeks). Every load, broker and dollar is example data. Brokers appear as Broker A to G. Panels marked REAL OPEN DATA use dated US government aggregates (FMCSA, EIA, NWS, BTS, state work-zone feeds) and are not live. This demo makes no network calls: nothing you type or choose is sent anywhere.
