Staff Platform Engineer, TruckSmarter

The trucking industry has been historically fragmented, with truckers wasting countless hours searching for their next gig, followed by more time waiting to be loaded or unloaded – which can be very detrimental to truckers who are often paid per mile. Trucksmarter digital trucking platform addresses all these problems. It stands out from the competition by being a free-to-use service. And it makes its revenue by offering truckers same-day payments for each load, in exchange for a small percentage of their fee, rather than charging to use the load board itself.

TruckSmarter has raised an impressive amount of funding from top investors and names in the industry, showing respect for and interest in its solution. Its most recent funding is being heavily funneled into research, development, and talent to push further into the field of AI.

On top of this, the company was recently acquired by OTR Solutions, a move that allows TruckSmarter to sharpen its focus and accelerate investment in AI-driven freight intelligence and automation. By transitioning its factoring and banking operations to OTR, TruckSmarter is ready to move faster on product development and concentrate on building smarter load discovery and dispatch tools.
