A $875 Billion Market. And 96% Is Struggling.
$875 Billion
The U.S. freight market is a colossal, near-trillion-dollar industry, forming the very backbone of the nation’s economy and presenting an immense field for disruption.
570,000+
This massive market is served by over half a million distinct carriers, resulting in a highly fragmented and inefficient ecosystem that legacy systems simply cannot manage effectively.
96%
The overwhelming majority—96% of all carriers—are small businesses who form the core of the industry, yet remain critically underserved and outmatched by outdated tools and operational disadvantages.
35%
These small carriers are forced to sacrifice as much as 35% of their hard-earned revenue to a chain of inefficient brokers and middlemen, a crippling margin leak that stifles their growth and profitability.
Small Carriers Are Drowning
80%+ of small carriers go bankrupt within 3 years
The dream of building an independent business quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival. For the vast majority, this fight ends in failure, crushed by an industry that is systematically stacked against them.
Brokers take 15–35% of every load
This isn’t just a commission; it’s a crippling tax on their revenue, bleeding them dry before a single mile is driven. A third of their potential profit is siphoned off by middlemen, making it nearly impossible to build a sustainable business.
Most operations are still manual: dispatch, calls, paperwork
Their most valuable asset—time—is squandered on endless phone calls, manual invoicing, and mountains of paperwork. This archaic workflow not only invites costly errors but keeps them chained to the office instead of focusing on growing their business.
No direct, reliable access to loads
Ultimately, they are locked out of a direct relationship with shippers, leaving them completely dependent on the same brokers draining their profits. They are forced to take whatever loads they can get, with no power to negotiate and no visibility into a better, more profitable future.
Smart Tech. Real Freedom.
AI Voice Assistant
Update loads, confirm ETAs, and manage your entire day with simple voice commands, completely hands-free. This isn’t just about convenience; it’s about reclaiming your focus and eliminating hours of dangerous, distracting administrative work from the driver’s seat.
Direct Shipper Connection
We remove the broker from the equation, putting you in direct control of your business relationships and your revenue. Now, you negotiate your own rates and build long-term partnerships, transforming you from a replaceable commodity into a valued partner.
+25–40% Net Profit

Automated Workflow
From invoicing to proof-of-delivery, we automate the entire administrative lifecycle of a load. This frees up countless hours from your week and, more importantly, eliminates the constant mental burden of paperwork so you can finally switch off at the end of the day.
