Our take
The trucking industry has long struggled with inefficiencies, particularly due to a lack of visibility and shipping data. This often results in trucks underutilizing their capacity and driving empty miles. While Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) have been introduced as a solution, they haven't motivated drivers employed by trucking companies to address these inefficiencies.
FourKites offers a digital platform that enhances visibility and efficiency in trucking routes and cargo capacity, reducing the number of empty miles. Rather than focusing on trucking companies or drivers, FourKites targets businesses that require shipping, aligning with their financial incentives to improve logistics efficiency.
Amid a competitive landscape of startups addressing inefficiencies in trucking, FourKites has found success by partnering with shipping companies and businesses that need their services. by making shipping partnerships contingent on using their technology, FourKites bypasses driver reluctance and delivers real efficiency improvements for the entire shipping process.
