aifleet aspires to change the lives of some of the most underappreciated individuals in today’s workforce – truck drivers. A tech-powered logistics company, aifleet is disrupting the antiquated $800B trucking industry with human-centered AI. Our proprietary technology schedules the most efficient and satisfying routes for our drivers. We’ve already proven our model - our trucks make 60% more revenue per truck per week than industry norms, and our driver attrition rate is just 1/10th of industry averages. We are already demonstrating a model that would eliminate the perceived trucker shortage and the inefficiencies permeating the industry today.

With a recent $21M Series A and exponential revenue growth, aifleet is at an inflection point. With our proof of concept, we are ready to build the world’s largest and most efficient trucking company. We’d love for you to join our low ego, compassionate, and mission-obsessed team during this next phase of growth.

View company profile

We are aifleet, a tech-driven trucking company with a clear purpose: to humanize trucking and bring empathy, compassion, and care to the hard-working drivers who haul this great nation's freight. We founded our company in 2020, and since then, we've been on a mission to rebuild and humanize the trucking industry for these dedicated professionals. Our approach is centered around our people, fueled by proprietary technology that allows us to operate more efficiently and offer a radically better experience for our drivers. We are proud to be the first full-stack, AI-driven carrier, leveraging our advanced algorithms and technology suite to optimize route and load planning in real-time. This not only makes scheduling more efficient and reduces cost per mile but also sustainably reduces the number of trucks needed on the road. Most importantly, we do all of this while treating our drivers better, keeping them well-paid, and ensuring they have a profitable way to go home every week.

Our commitment to our drivers is unwavering. We believe that a driver should never have to call their dispatcher wondering about their next load. Our technology ensures that load assignments are automatic and optimized, taking into account what fits the drivers best and maximizes their hours of service and fleet utilization. This focus on driver satisfaction has led to some of the lowest churn and highest driver satisfaction scores in the industry. We understand the challenges drivers face, from inefficient scheduling to long times away from home, and we've built our systems to address these issues head-on. By increasing truck utilization through smarter planning, we enable our drivers to achieve more miles and higher pay, all while offering reliable hometime schedules. We're not just putting a band-aid on the problems in the industry; we're building real solutions to create a better lifestyle and a more sustainable future for trucking. We're excited to continue innovating and growing, working together with our team of sharp, motivated, and compassionate co-workers to build a radically better trucking industry.
