The trucking industry is the backbone of the global economy. Roughly 70% of what we consume in the U.S. is moved by trucks. Those trucks are powered by over 3.5 million drivers per year and create over $700B in annual revenue. Trucking is a massive industry but it is a traditional industry and like many traditional industries, it is ripe for innovation. CloudTrucks is building the operating system for trucking and is the first platform specifically designed to empower truck drivers. Our all-in-one, "business in a box" solution provides simplicity, optimizes and automates operations, and accelerates cash-flow for drivers, so they can focus on building their business.
