Our take
Increasing online commerce activity has resulted in logistics, particularly freight, being on the rise in Europe. This has resulted in driver shortages and a fragile supply chain system. These labour shortages are expected to get worse in the coming years as the European workforce continues to favour digitised labour. Trucksters was founded with the confidence that their freight solutions will slow down, if not reverse, this trend.
Despite the presence of logistic giants like Sennder and Forto tackling the logistics problem in the same market, the Trucksters model is the first to focus its efforts on improving the quality of work for the drivers in their supply chain. This, combined with similar costs to the customers and faster deliveries, has made their offering a no-brainer. Their freight planning is done by proprietary AI and has served their customers well.
They have been able to amass an impressive customer base in an industry that highly values reliability. Their recent fundraising efforts have also rewarded them with impressive investor backing. They have been a favourite place to work for freight drivers and are now well poised to expand their freight fleets to match. All of this will help them gain a bigger footing in even more European countries.
