An Uber-like twist on the trucking industry where truck drivers are texted jobs and can show up at the depot and loading docks for work.
As the Wall Street Journal article reports, some new startup companies will help reinvent the trucking industry and how businesses are conducted.
According to the article…”A series of startups are vying to become an “Uber of trucking,” leveraging truck drivers’ smartphones to quickly connect them with nearby companies looking to ship goods. The upstarts aim to reinvent a fragmented U.S. trucking industry that has long relied on third-party brokers, essentially travel agents for trucking who connect truckers with customers.”
We shall see if it takes hold.
