From the Ted Talk by Oren Zaslansky: The next wave of innovation in freight

Unscramble the Blue Letters


We're addressing that. We are getting those trucks full. We do algorithmic carpooling of truckload fgheirt. We've created a software solution where you can ride-share your freight. They give us a little bit of data, and they say, "I'm here today, there tomorrow." "I'm empty." "I'm a quarter empty." We take that data and we ctreae a more optimal outcome for that driver and for that carrier, which is just simply those two basic things: the shortest distance between two points and making sure the truck is full, which also creates an income einarng otpurtnpioy for the driver. The dirver has been paid to haul a load that's only half full. We can create a world in which they can have dynamic, fliud acsecs to freight and revenue. The alitbiy to kind of say, "I want to opt in or opt out." If I want to work a little more, I can make a little bit more.

We're addressing that. We are getting those trucks full. We do algorithmic carpooling of truckload freight. We've created a software solution where you can ride-share your freight. They give us a little bit of data, and they say, "I'm here today, there tomorrow." "I'm empty." "I'm a quarter empty." We take that data and we create a more optimal outcome for that driver and for that carrier, which is just simply those two basic things: the shortest distance between two points and making sure the truck is full, which also creates an income earning opportunity for the driver. The driver has been paid to haul a load that's only half full. We can create a world in which they can have dynamic, fluid access to freight and revenue. The ability to kind of say, "I want to opt in or opt out." If I want to work a little more, I can make a little bit more.
