deadheadAI English coach for trucking logistics
Practise real calls with brokers, drivers and customers. The AI answers what you mean, then shows you a cleaner way to say it.
Dispatcher: plans and manages loads and routes. Broker: the intermediary company that gives loads to carriers.

The idea
On a real call nobody waits while you look for the word. Practise the call first. Speak, hear the answer, and see the cleaner way to say it.
Live call
SituationCall Jenny to say the driver is loaded and on the way to delivery. Give location and ETA.
Okay. Can you give me more details about the load?
In your own languageI don't know how to say that the driver is already at the shipper.
Try saying: The driver is already at the shipper.
The driver is late because traffic was very big.
That makes sense.
Eight departments
Every department is a corner of a real US trucking company. The app picks cases for your level, A2 to C1.

Drivers, routes, breakdowns, HOS (driving-hours rules), pickups
Drag the board, or use the arrow keys.
Reading aloud
Read a short text aloud. The words colour as the app compares what you said with the text, and a tap on any word opens the breakdown.
When I call a broker, I always confirm the pickup address, the delivery window and the weight of the load. Then I ask if detention is paid after two hours. If the rate is too low, I explain our costs, including fuel and deadhead miles. A clear conversation saves time for everyone.
The browser will ask for the microphone.
An accent is never an error. No automatic check is perfectly exact; the app uses two recognition models plus audio analysis.
A simplified demo: your browser’s own speech recognition (Google in Chrome, Microsoft in Edge) does the listening. This site records nothing.

Questions
No. 64-bit Windows only.
Yes: OpenAI (speech, voices) and Anthropic (the dialogue). Azure Speech is optional, for sound-level scores.
You pay the providers through your keys: a few cents to about 15 cents per 10-minute session, by model.
In demo mode: every screen works, but speech recognition and the AI replies are simulated.
On your computer only: keys encrypted by Windows, progress and recordings local, all deletable in Settings.
Only in part: the dialogue, recognition and analysis need the internet. The dictionary and the review do not.
It is not code-signed yet. In SmartScreen choose “More info”, then “Run anyway”.
Not yet: version 0.5.0, an early one. The live-key features have not been tested by real users yet.
