Zaslansky did not name specific competitors by company name in the interview. He referenced the traditional less-than-truckload industry as the incumbent model Flock Freight is displacing, describing it as a hub-and-spoke system involving multiple trucks, drivers, and terminals per shipment. He also noted that a few startups claim to have solved supply-side carrier automation but said it was unclear whether those claims are real, without identifying the companies by name.
Zaslansky cited an industry statistic, not a company-confirmed figure, that 75 to 80 percent of acquisitions destroy value, in the context of explaining the company's cautious approach to M and A as a growth strategy.
