I think if I knew how complex was
0:01
trucking, I think I would have thought
0:03
again. So, the unknown was very helpful.
0:06
>> Garrett Biswas thought he had landed on
0:08
a simple idea, Uber but for trucks.
0:12
There was just one problem. He had never
0:14
moved a truck in his life. Then one day
0:17
at dinner with friends, he saw a problem
0:20
he had never thought much about.
0:22
>> He was constantly having to walk out of
0:23
the, you know, restaurant and we could
0:25
see that he's arguing or shouting with
0:26
somebody. I was like, "Hey, is
0:27
everything okay?" He's like, "Oh, I have
0:29
seven containers that have to go on the
0:30
same vessel tomorrow." Then I said,
0:32
"Hey, why do you have You should have an
0:33
Uber of trucks."
0:34
>> That idea became Trucker, a digital
0:37
freight platform that connects companies
0:39
that need to move cargo with the truck
0:41
owners and transporters that carry it.
0:44
>> Trucker is the largest digital freight
0:45
network across the GCC, Turkey, and
0:48
South Asia.
0:49
>> Across the Gulf, much of trucking is
0:51
still fragmented. Small truck owners,
0:53
phone calls, paperwork, brokers, and
0:56
long waits for payment.
0:58
>> Trucking is extremely important in the
1:00
sector because whatever you touch and
1:02
feel, consume, it's all touched a truck.
1:05
Whether it's a seaport or an airport or
1:07
a factory, everything that we consume
1:08
moves. Trucking is that connector.
1:10
>> So, how does it actually work?
1:12
>> There were 30 to 70 different factors
1:14
that involve the matchmaking of a demand
1:16
and a supply. In Uber, you and the
1:19
driver are the two decision makers. In
1:21
here, there are 15 plus other people
1:23
stakeholders who influence that
1:24
decision. You pay 100 dirhams for a cab
1:27
transaction and you pay [music]
1:28
thousands of dollars for a trucking
1:29
transaction. So, it's Uber of trucks is
1:31
not Uber at all.
