Embark Trucks

Truck driving is not an easy job. The hours are long and the roads can be hazardous. With a national truck driver shortage, truckers are having to work further away from their homes. For businesses, expenses are high.

• Prioritize Safety - We are committed to making the roads safer for everyone. Every decision we make prioritizes the safety of our team, our partners, our industry, and our fellow road users. While the transportation industry necessarily includes some risk, our ability to plan, monitor, and understand safety sets the cadence for testing and development. We all hold the responsibility to speak up if we observe behavior that is inconsistent with our values
• Be Reliable - We deliver on our commitments. Each of us is a critical part of the team, and as such we are each trusted to deliver outcomes that matter for advancing our mission. We are constantly reinforcing our mutually-shared trust by communicating proactively, asking for and offering help, and prioritizing our mission and values. When we make a mistake or miss a goal, we own it, and we do better the next time
• Simplify the problem - We find simplicity when facing complex problems. We are scrappy underdogs that take pride in finding creative solutions. Though our ambition is immense, we always seek ways to strip down complexity and find pragmatic approaches to how we move towards our mission. We are constantly seeking opportunities to be resourceful, find efficiencies, and build scalable solutions to focus our efforts on solving the most important problems
• Inspire Collegiality - We make Embark a great place to work for our colleagues. We go out of our way to welcome new team members and respect each others’ views, experiences, and backgrounds. We treat each other with kindness – even when disagreeing on substance or sharing and receiving hard truths for the good of the team and the mission. Our shared trust is a competitive advantage, because collegiality and winning are not mutually exclusive; at Embark, they are mutually reinforcing
• Win Together - We are a winning team whose united strength is greater than the sum of its parts. We attack problems, not people. We work together across all functions in order to achieve our mission, and no team or individual works in a silo or attempts to be a lone-wolf hero. We are pursuing a deeply meaningful mission and believe hard work, perseverance and collaboration are the only way to tackle a complex problem of this size
