About TruckSmarter

Logistics is one of the single largest industries in the world. Globally, logistics is an $8-$12 trillion dollar industry and in the US alone, ~$2 trillion, representing ~10% of GDP. A single percent of improvement drives profound change to every corner of the world; from the cost of our goods, to the livelihoods of local communities, to even the impact on our environment.

To reshape the industry, at TruckSmarter, our focus is first on truck drivers.

Trucks move 71% of freight in America (~$800bn annually) & the trucking industry represents nearly 6% of the full-time jobs in the country. If you look around you, every item has sat on a truck at one point on its journey to you. However, despite the industry being one of the greatest levers of innovation throughout history, it is still deeply fragmented & structurally misaligned. Our mission is to fix that-and we need your help.
