UBERIZATION of Trucking
 
Hi, Guys!

Nowadays there are some startups, which work on trucking industry automation.
Uber, Doft, CargoX and so on.

Did anybody use their services?
Your thoughts?

Uber
 
hi Brian,I have used Uber for 3 loads so far.
here are my 3 loads,based out of NC,dry freight,bottled water loads.Holiday work a guy who works for me wanted.He did all 3 loads.

Mooresville,NC to Sanford,NC Core Mark Dist $ 650.00 on 7-5-17; 118 miles
Mooresville,NC to Bristol,Va Sams Club $1200.00 on 7-4-17;157 miles
Mooresville,NC to Pageland,SC Walmart $600.00 on 7-4-17 ;73 miles
Uber pays out on Tuesday of each week.I am expecting payment to be issued by them this Tiesday,7-11-17

I look their app over and pick and choose the best paying loads and book them by app.They send out a confirmation email if the load is good.
They use their app to track you and you can upload the pods etc by app.However,their is no haggling over the price when you do i that way.I`ll try to remember to come back and note when they pay me

I haven`t looked at CargoX or Doft yet.

I have assigned to Doft.com couple days ago. The registration was pretty easy. Their tech support helped me with the photo upload quickly. Have not got any loads from them, so I can not say how it works. What I did like - they promise 24 hours payment at no charge. When I get a load from them I will write how it was.

That's a lot of red flags, working for tokens that is only good at one company...

Maybe something known like Bitcoin, but even that is still not as good as real money.
Am I missing something here?

The token will not only be useful within the Doft company. When Doft expands to Canada and Mexico it will help to save money on bank comissions and on fiat exchanges

Transportation, especially trucking is a dynamically growing industry. Still it works pretty old-school way. The load-booking process takes pretty long time. The truckers move empty 30% of time. The rates are low for the transportation service. The ELD mandate can lower the revenues of the owner-operators and small trucking companies even more. The industry suffers on only of these problems, but of the truck drivers shortage too.
So Doft offers a great solution for ALL these problems. Even more! Doft offers a solution, that can be scaled to any another market.
So join DOFT ICO!

Doft.com the Trucking ICO
 
Trucking industry needs some changes.

The efficiency of the load booking is really low now.
The high volumes of freight keep the rates low.
The truckers have to move empty about 30% of their time.


So that is why the Doft team has started this project.

Doft app can help the truckers to reduce the dead head mileage.

Doft dispatcher tool can help the dispatcher to manage his network of drivers more efficiently.

Doft loadboard can help shippers and 3PLs to deliver the information about his freight to the driver directly.

And sure Doft will break the barriers with the crypto currency it is launching now.

So join Doft ICO and Bounty program!

Doft - the greatest ICO in the US trucking
 
5 indisputable reasons to invest in DOFT
1. High profitability. The total US trucking market is $800 billion which will grow up to $1,5 trillion by 2025.

2. Wall-breaking. We live in the world of globalization and it's crucial to simplify the logistics processes. As an example, neither Mexico nor Canada will have to alter their legislation to use Doft service. Doftcoins allow to expand globally and get rid of any local currency binding and bank routine. Clients can use Doftcoins as a platform currency.

3. Solving real industry problems. Doft reduces deadhead miles, offers backhauls and helps to ship unplanned urgent freight.

4. Big data implementation. Truck drivers will be able to get backhaul right after they accept their main freight to haul. Our prediction algorithm will allow to do that.

5. Full market coverage. Doft is suitable for any type of business - whether you are a shipper, a trucker, a dispatcher or a broker - you're good to go with Doft.

Doft ICO BOUNTY
 
Uberization of trucking is a very hot theme today.

A lot of companies are trying to adopt the uber on demand model to the transportation industry in the USA.
Now it is plain to see, that the direct on demand model doesn't work for transportation.
So some companies like Cargomatic or Uber Freight try to create a Freight brokerage. Highly automated, but still freight brokerage. And there is no difference between them and i.e. CH Robinson.


Doft on it's side offers a complex transportation solution, which will perform all the major tasks the shipper and carrier require.

1 Doft matches the trucker with the available freight in his area

2 Doft does the complete motor carrier checkup and provides the data to the shipper

3 Doft algorithm can help the driver to get the backhaul.

4 With doftcoin the truckers can participate in mining, so they earn doftcoins and are able to pay for the services and goods in Doft store. Shippers paying with doftcoins can save on the commissions and on Doft discount programs.


By the way the Bounty campaign is still on, so join it! https://doft.com/blog/doft-ico-bounty-campaign

Doft ICO
 
Everybody knows, that the US trucking industry needs some changes to be made.
The industry is growing dynamically, but the operations are still done in an old-school manner.
Nothing wrong with it, except the time and the efforts spent to organize the freight moving.
Sure, when Uber has launched its cab service there were a lot of hopes, that this model, adopted to the trucking will blow up the industry. So, a huge lot of startups rushed into this niche. But what do we see?
The 1st effort to create an Uber for trucking was Cargomatic. They tried hard, but they have failed to disrupt the industry. And the situation stays uncertain until now.
Now there are at least a dozen startups, that are trying to create an uber for trucking, but no one has succeeded. Why is it so? The answer is plain to see – the uber cab model doesn’t work for the trucks. At all.
When we think about the new way of working, we imagine the free to use, simple, user-friendly solution suitable for every type of business involved into the logistics chain. And certainly, the solution should make the business processes much easier and quicker, still without breaking the habits of people, who do this job every day.
The startups, calling themselves the uber for trucks are reinventing the way, US trucking is operating now.
Sure it doesn’t suit brokers, who hold 90% of the whole transportation market. Other companies are trying to create a highly automated freight brokerage. It’s just like packing an old-school stuff into a hi-tech cover. But it is still a brokerage, that cuts commissions, and the drivers do not like it, mainly because they do not like brokers at all, and secondly because not all of them are not really confident with all these smartphones and IT stuff.
Some of companies are trying to look at the problem from the truck driver side. So, they develop the apps for the truckers, which appear to be nothing, but an old-school load board redesigned for a mobile.
As we see there is no complex solution suitable the Shippers/Brokers and Carriers equally.
Except DOFT.
The model used by Doft is equally good for every type of business. The business processes are not reinvented or altered. They are just much easier to perform.
What Doft does even cannot be called the Brokerage. The service is free to all the parties, so it helps saving money.
And surely, Doft does not reinvent the way, the US trucking industry should operate. Doft solves some key problems of trucking.
1 We all know that the truckers usually move empty about 30% of their time. Or loose time waiting for a next load. Doft helps to reduce the dead head mileage mainly with the Doft prediction algorithm. It will provide the driver information about the available freight at the the destination point right while booking the direct freight.
2 The problem with payments also exists. Now the common practice is to pay the motor carrier 14 to 60 days after the load is moved. It may be OK for some big fleets, but it is certainly not as good for owner operators, who count every dollar. So Doft is also working on this problem. And the main remedy can be an introduction of the crypto currency. So, the shippers who pay in doftcoins will get a discount. The drivers will get an opportunity to mine doftcoins and to pay for the goods and services in the doft store. So even moving empty will do some profit.

Doft ICO. Trucking ICO
 
The US trucking industry has been growing tremendously for the last few years, although it firmly stays one of the most old-school in terms of operation and organization methods. On one hand there’s nothing wrong with it, but on the other hand such old-school business management is very time consuming, and as the result not as much cost-effective as it can be.
When Uber launched its cab service, a lot of startups rushed into the trucking niche with their uber-like ideas thinking that it would disrupt the industry right away. Cargomatic was among the first companies that took an effort to create an “Uber for trucking”. However, it didn’t happen, and there’s still no leader today, despite the fact that Uber eventually launched its own Uber Freight this year, but for the past few months it seems more dead than alive. Perhaps, the uber model isn’t the panacea for all trucking ills.
When we think of a new logistics’ era, we imagine a free to use, simple, user-friendly solution suitable for every type of business which is involved in the logistics chain. And certainly, the solution should make business processes much easier and quicker, yet without breaking the habits of industry professionals who do the job daily.
The trucking startups which adopted the uber-like model, try to reinvent the way the US trucking operates today, so they basically work “undercover “. These startups pack old-school stuff into a high-tech cover in fact being whether an ordinary load-board or a broker. Nevertheless, there must be a complex solution suitable for every transportation party – equally valuable for a shipper, a broker and a carrier.
The startup which is close to the truth in trucking is called Doft. Their business model is not only about their uber-like on-demand software. It’s about universality and value for every type of business. Whether you are a carrier, a broker, a trucker or a dispatcher, you’ll find potency as Doft covers all necessary vertical services in transportation. And the best part of Doft is its freemium strategy – a customer pays fees only for some additional features and services, such as motor carrier vetting which includes FMCSA safety ratings, insurance verification, authority validation and etc. All the basic functionality necessary for daily usage is free, and this fact helps to save money.
Now let’s take a look at some current problems in trucking which Doft tries to solve.
We all know that truckers usually drive empty about 30% of their time or waste hours waiting for a next load. Doft helps to reduce the dead head mileage through its prediction algorithm. The service will provide a driver with the information about freight available near the destination point.
There’s a payment problem which still exists. Normally a motor carrier receives a payment during 14-60 days after a load is delivered. It may be OK for some big fleets with big monthly turnover but it’s absolutely undesirable for owner operators when every dollar counts. To resolve this problem Doft introduced its own crypto currency which is used as service money with nice benefits. Shippers who pay in Doftcoins get a discount. Drivers get an opportunity to mine Doftcoins and pay for the goods and services in the Doft store.

Doft launches ICO on Cyber Monday
 
Silicon Valley truck-sharing startup, DOFT (Do Freight Transportation), reschedules its ICO. Doft is giving out 100% of the company’s total coin supply, meaning that anyone can become an owner of Doft’s cryptocurrency and enjoy the benefits of being part of a transportation professionals' community.
The supply of Doftcoins will be open on Cyber Monday - November 27, 04:00 pm UTC, and will last till December 15, 00:00 am UTC.
Doft bounty campaign also takes place.
The funds raised during the ICO will be used for the technological improvement and business development which includes marketing and expansion.
Doft – a Silicon Valley based startup – developed a mobile app for the trucking industry that provides freight matching services. The on-demand instant freight and truck matching application has been labelled the “Uber of trucking.” Doft aims to improve the lives of truckers and provide ever-increasing value to shippers and carriers through its peer-to-peer service.
Doft’s solution is equally suitable for all the parties involved into the transportation chain. Whether you are a carrier, a broker, a trucker or a dispatcher, you’ll find potency as Doft covers all necessary vertical services in transportation.
When we imagine new logistics’ era, we think of a free to use, simple, user-friendly solution suitable for every type of business which is involved in the logistics chain. No doubt, the solution should make business processes much easier and quicker, yet without breaking the habits of industry professionals who do the job every day.

Brian Junior 11-15-2017 11:40 AM

Freight-matching startup Doft pitches virtual "Doftcoins" to industry players.
 
One of the latest entrants into the crowded "Uber for trucking" sector is taking a creative tack to raise funds: selling shares in its own "cryptocurrency," a type of virtual electronic money similar to Bitcoin or Ethereum.
The company, Doft, is a Walnut, Calif.-based tech startup that says its mobile app can reduce deadhead miles, automatically locate backhaul cargo, and help shippers move unplanned urgent freight. The company joins a crowd of recent entries to the freight-matching marketplace that includes Haulme LLC, XYpper Technologies Inc., Transfix, 10-4 Systems Inc., Cargomatic Inc., and UberFreight.
To stand out from the pack, the founders of Doft (an acronym for "Do Freight Transportation") are raising money in a way that past generations could not have imagined. The firm held an "initial coin offering" (ICO) in October, in which it created its own currency—called Doftcoins (DFC)—then sold them to buyers like truck drivers, third-party logistics service providers (3PLs), and freight shippers.
Launching an ICO allows a firm to seek funding from the general public, rather than dealing strictly with venture capitalists. The strategy works best when large crowds line up to buy shares, so Doft sweetened the deal by offering anyone who bought Doftcoins in October a 50-percent premium on their investment as well as a lifetime of 0-percent commissions—worth an average of $100 per load—on all freight booked through the Doft platform.
So the next time you see a tractor-trailer cruising down the highway, remember that the driver behind the wheel may also be a high-flying financial speculator.

Doft - the greatest ICO in the US trucking
 
Driverless delivery vehicles will be the future of trucking, but what is the trucking industry doing to stay competitive during this disruptive transition?
The US trucking industry is currently valued at about $800 billion annually, but with the rise of autonomous or driverless delivery vehicles, those in the industry must learn to adapt or become irrelevant.
To find out how trucking companies are responding to this digital transformation, I reached out to Dmitri Fedorchenko, CEO of Doft, whose mission is to disrupt the trucking industry by providing an Uber-like service that connects suppliers directly with truckers in their area.
My concern was that this type of service has greatly benefited the trucking industry for the present, but how would Doft respond to the rise of driverless delivery vehicles question?
Fedorchenko’s response was refreshing, and instead of trying to fight the coming wave of disruption, his company is in a unique position to greatly benefit from it while still remaining one of the industry’s most influential thought leaders.
“I’m sure that we’re not competitors with self-driving truck manufactures but partners,” Fedorchenko explains, adding, “I am, as the CEO of Doft, highly convinced that Tesla, Otto and Nikola will become our partners in the future and will integrate Doft into their on-board navigation system; making their trucks not only autonomous but smart and profitable.”
With nearly 1.7 million Americans working in the trucking industry, the switch to driverless delivery trucks has many concerned about massive job losses as the average truck driver relies on an average salary of $42,500, according to the Huffington Post.
However, Fedorchenko recognizes that driverless trucks will be efficient for long hauls, but for city-driving and actual door-to-door deliveries, there will still be human operators.
“Think of driverless trucks as robots following your orders,” he says. “Of course there’ll always be an operator (driver) somewhere around to help trucks maneuver in the city. On highways these robots will work as autopilots like in airplanes. Having said this, we understand that trucks are useless when they don’t have jobs to do and freight to move. Doft targets owner operators and independent ‘freelance’ drivers who will need a marketplace where they can easily find loads for robots (self-driving trucks). Or one can even imagine that robots themselves can bid on some loads if they know they will be empty soon.”
Whether jobs are lost or gained, those in the trucking industry know that deliveries and shipments will always be in demand, and it’s just a matter of how well these companies can adapt to the changing times.
According to Supply Chain Digest, driverless delivery vehicles may not be the end of jobs after all, but rather provide more opportunities for employees to make local deliveries while diversifying their job roles to give better customer service and offer new sales positions while the autonomous vehicles perform the heavy lifting tasks.
For Doft, the CEO says, “Doft will turn smartphones and trucks into a working tool earning money to their owners at the same time making transportation process safe, reliable and efficient.”
He went on to add, “We have already started negotiations with some companies which work in this space to find how Doft can be useful for this 21st century technology. Doft is solving real problems of small businesses and independent truckers. Every dollar spent on logistics is then added to the final price of the product.”
FedEx is already reportedly investing in rolling robot couriers to deliver goods from the trucks to the customers’ front doors and back to the trucks again, which goes to show how rapid this disruption is progressing.
Fedorchenko said that Doft will not deny this incoming wave of disruptive technology, but rather embrace it, and that big players will need to adapt their solutions to fit this market as well.

Doft ICO
 
Transportation, especially trucking is a dynamically growing industry. Still it works pretty old-school way. The load-booking process takes pretty long time. The truckers move empty 30% of time. The rates are low for the transportation service. The ELD mandate can lower the revenues of the owner-operators and small trucking companies even more.
The industry suffers on only of these problems, but of the truck drivers shortage too.

So Doft offers a great solution for ALL these problems. Even more! Doft offers a solution, that can be scaled to any another market.

So join DOFT ICO!

Doft ICO. Trucking ICO
 
Freight-matching startup Doft pitches virtual "Doftcoins" to industry players.
One of the latest entrants into the crowded "Uber for trucking" sector is taking a creative tack to raise funds: selling shares in its own "cryptocurrency," a type of virtual electronic money similar to Bitcoin or Ethereum.
The company, Doft, is a Walnut, Calif.-based tech startup that says its mobile app can reduce deadhead miles, automatically locate backhaul cargo, and help shippers move unplanned urgent freight. The company joins a crowd of recent entries to the freight-matching marketplace that includes Haulme LLC, XYpper Technologies Inc., Transfix, 10-4 Systems Inc., Cargomatic Inc., and UberFreight.
To stand out from the pack, the founders of Doft (an acronym for "Do Freight Transportation") are raising money in a way that past generations could not have imagined. The firm held an "initial coin offering" (ICO) in October, in which it created its own currency—called Doftcoins (DFC)—then sold them to buyers like truck drivers, third-party logistics service providers (3PLs), and freight shippers.
Launching an ICO allows a firm to seek funding from the general public, rather than dealing strictly with venture capitalists. The strategy works best when large crowds line up to buy shares, so Doft sweetened the deal by offering anyone who bought Doftcoins in October a 50-percent premium on their investment as well as a lifetime of 0-percent commissions—worth an average of $100 per load—on all freight booked through the Doft platform.
So the next time you see a tractor-trailer cruising down the highway, remember that the driver behind the wheel may also be a high-flying financial speculator.

Clients can use Doftcoins as a platform currency.

Hi Brian,

I thought "Uber" for the truck app is quick and easy.It connects the truckers to entities for freight transportation in order to decrease the time spent transporting, tracking and delivering.

What is the best place to store bitcoin buying and selling? It is better of course to have several places to store bitcoins including your devices, exchange, applications and brokers. I can also recommend j2tx.com . There you can buy etherium and bitcoin. In general I am happy with everything, of course, there are disadvantages, but they are small and their huge advantages.
