Great piece from Y Combinator's Anu Hariharan and Nic Dardenne on the future of freight and how Convoy is changing the game. Dan Lewis Grant Goodale and I couldn't be more excited about the road ahead. blog.ycombinator.com/convoy-the-fut…

Today we released our first annual corporate sustainability report. I'm proud of so many Convoy people that worked on this for years...this is definitely an area for startups to start early, be imperfect, and learn while doing. kudos JenniferWong.eth convoydfn.com/2020sustainabi…

Today, we announced the industry’s first automated, nationwide drop-and-hook service for backup and spot freight. This is a new approach to supplying shippers with the drop capacity they need, when they want it. We call it flexible drop. Learn more: convoydfn.com/introducing-fl…

This really big for freight/trucking. Harder to see if you're outside the biz, but this gives companies that move truckloads a HUGE boost in flexibility, gives more truckers access to high quality drop & hook, and reduces waste (easier to batch jobs, reduce empty mile)!

Join us tomorrow, May 20th, at 11am PT to learn about traditional drop’s big problem and how you can overcome it to save money and flex to cover any surge.

It's the perfect analogy Hadi Partovi. Physical data centers = fixed and fragile. Cloud/AWS = elastic and resilient. Convoy Go allows us to deliver our customers elastic drop and hook freight capacity coupled with industry leading service reliability. Convoy #futureoffreight

Today we announced a $260M raise for Convoy! I was asked, is this because of the truck driver shortage? This is a common question. My answer is no, I do not believe we have a shortage of truck drivers. We're short in other areas. Here goes... 1/

Convoy is leading the charge in this transition. Our app+quality loads, backhauls, quick payments, pre-loaded trailers, etc. makes trucking more attractive for 75k+ small carriers and 350k+ drivers, and our tech optimizes the network, reducing empty miles and waiting around. 5/

Our $260M Series E announcement is a bet on this. It shows that the world's smartest investors get what's happening and see the long-term opportunity in this industry. Logistics is a defining challenge of this era and we're all in on it. More here! 6/convoy.com/blog/america-n…

Inflation and supply chain volatility are at record highs and sustainability top of mind in the c-suite. The US Trucking industry has never been more in need of the digital transformation that Convoy is leading. wsj.com/articles/digit…

1/ The future of #trucking is the hybrid carrier, a new model that leverages technology to overcome long standing industry fragmentation and finally provide shippers with the benefits of economies of scale. #SupplyChain #Logistics 🧵 linkedin.com/pulse/driving-…
