“So customers are large enterprises like Staples and PepsiCo, Colgate, HP, some of the smaller midsize companies that are always looking to move goods in a truckload, full truckload. When you see those large trucks out there, they're moving goods, and they're not doing it very efficiently. So we are building this marketplace to make them much more efficient than they are today.”
“We started bringing on customers at the end of twenty twenty, and we have eight customers that we have brought on during this time.”
“We have about 1,200 carriers, but we try to create a very long term relationship with them, so we are not just addressing the shippers who are paying for transportation, but these guys that we take good care of and build a more predictable revenue stream for them so they are taking advantage of the marketplace.”
