Company mission
Freightsafe's mission is to build and scale the future of truck parking.
Our take
Freightsafe has identified a flaw in the operations of the majority of logistics companies: subpar parking standards for drivers who are mandated to park each day, as well as a mass shortage of parking areas. This leads to greater risk of theft, too many driving hours, and too few drivers.
Freight trucking is a more than $2 trillion industry, but it’s in serious need of modernisation, particularly in light of the rising running costs for the supply chain industry as a whole. In partnership with Bosch, Freightsafe is building a network of smart trailer parking hubs across Europe, where drivers can securely park for the night, recharge or exchange trailers.
The company is the product of six years worth of research into the truck parking ecosystem by CEO Charlie Anderson, and it’s already built a small but growing number of facilities in Europe. It’s still early days, but the partnership with Bosch could be huge as Freighstafe looks to scale quickly on the continent.

My favourite part about the job is the access to travel and flexibility of working. The term work-from-anywhere couldn't be more true and all of the management are very supportive in making this work both for employees and company. In just 1 year of working, I have been to Spain, Germany, France, Belgium and the USA on many occasions for business purposes, with every cost covered!

It is evident from the first few minutes here that the company is heading in the right direction. As a relatively young company, there has been incredible progress over the past year with many contracts signed with blue-chip companies such as Amazon, Bosch, Samsung, and Volvo. There is belief right from the top all the way down that this could be a massive business opportunity for all involved and I'm so excited to be a part of it at such an early stage!
