The trucking industry is currently reliant on outdated tech
fraught with paper trails, long wait times, and numerous middlemen
that take advantage of independent truckers by pitting them in
race-to-the-bottom competitions for loads.
Rick Burnett is the CEO and founder of LaneAxis, a virtual
freight management system that seeks to disrupt the shipping
industry by directly connecting shipper and carriers via a
proprietary blockchain network.
LaneAxis wants to use blockchain to eliminate these
inefficiencies and empower truckers to take control of their
industry. Rick has envisioned a unique deployment of Smart
Contracts, GPS IoT tracking, and a mobile app that come together to
help meet increased demands for shipping and lessen the effects of
the current driver shortage.
On today's tech podcast, we also discuss LaneAxis features
such as route optimization, freight quality assurance, driver
safety logs, and weather alerts.
