CloudTrucks: A Black-Owned Trucking Solution
CloudTrucks is a Black-owned trucking company that integrates software engineering and data science to help truck drivers maximize their earnings while minimizing stress and time spent on administrative tasks.
Empowering Owner-Operators
The company operates as a virtual trucking carrier, providing essential back-office support that small owner-operators typically lack, while still allowing them to maintain their independence.
New Partnership Announcement
On May 5th, CloudTrucks revealed a collaboration with Uber Freight and COOP by Ryder, aimed at assisting eligible Uber rideshare drivers in transitioning to the freight industry to ensure the continuous movement of vital goods nationwide.
Support for Rideshare Drivers
Rideshare drivers on the Uber platform holding a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL) can earn income with CloudTrucks’ support. As leased-on drivers, they will gain access to an app that allows them to search for and book loads from top freight brokers, including Uber Freight.
Benefits of Joining CloudTrucks
By signing up with CloudTrucks, drivers can lease under their authority and utilize the mobile app to manage and book loads nationwide. They will enjoy benefits like instant payments, economical insurance options, and various essential tools for smooth business operations.
Leasing Options through COOP by Ryder
CloudTrucks has partnered with COOP by Ryder, facilitating tractor and trailer leases for drivers. The company will manage the deposit process, enabling drivers to start quickly and efficiently.
Community Support and Encouragement
Laurent Hautefeuille from Uber Freight emphasized the critical role truck drivers play in the economy and expressed hope that the partnership will broaden opportunities for those already using the Uber platform. CloudTrucks CEO Tobenna Arodiogbu expressed gratitude toward truck drivers for maintaining supply chain efficiency and invited ideas for further support.
If you are not a rideshare driver on the Uber platform and are interested in CloudTrucks, consider signing up via their website.
