What's more, the American Transportation Research Institute found that between 2010 and 2018 verdicts against trucking companies have increased by nearly 51.7%. This is an industry-wide problem that we believe our technology will solve.
We could not be here without the help of our critical partners including Wintrust, Reliance Partners, Contract Leasing Corporation, Michelin, Accounting & Business Services, Metafora, & Maynard Nexsen.
