Truckers face low pay, long wait times, disrespect, and rising costs without adequate compensation or fair treatment from brokers, shippers, and receivers.

Existing load boards and dispatch software do not address disrespect, long wait times, or ensure fair rates; brokers can renege on loads, and there's no tool to enforce fair treatment or compensate for delays.
