As the world becomes better connected, availing of all kinds of services at our doorsteps has become much more convenient. Uber, which launched in 2010, has dramatically transformed the taxi industry. Now, everyone can move around when they want from a number of cabs available around their area.
Trucknetic is another startup that has cracked the Uber-like model in trucking. They are a logistics company that is revolutionizing how people move freight and are taking the hassle out of moving freight by taking the processes digitally.
This blog will throw insight into how Trucknetic seamlessly connects shippers with carriers, with the best rates and in the least amount of time.
How Trucknetic Came Into Being?
Being in the trucking space for the past seven years, we noticed an unsettling trend of severe logistical inefficiencies in the sector. Trucks had loads for the front movement but ran empty on their return movement. This resulted in the wastage of time, money, and effort.
Shippers lacked a one-stop solution to finding all kinds of trucks with minimal and hassle-free documentation. They often had to resort to brokers to find trucks resulting in inefficient and high logistics costs.
A one-stop and transparent platform was desperately needed in logistics and that is how Trucknetic was born.

Touted as “Uber” for trucks, Trucknetic is a tech-first startup redefining the freight industry by creating a unique marketplace connecting shippers and carriers for the front and return loads using AI-ML, analytics, and associated technologies.
