Carriers • 3 minutes

At Convoy, we’re providing shippers with flexible and reliable capacity, helping carriers earn more with less hassle, and preventing harmful CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere by eliminating waste and inefficiency from the freight industry.

Drivers are as diverse as the loads they haul, but together they form the backbone of our nation’s supply chain. Here are three of their stories.

David: I've been driving for about seven years. I am the first driver of my family.

Alfonso: I've been driving for nine years. I started because of my dad. It's in my blood.

David: I was calling brokers on the daily. You can be 30 brokers in calling before you can find a load.

(00:40)

Jacinda: I had to take what was given.

(00:42)

Jacinda: As a new carrier working with Convoy, I had access to the prime loads from the very beginning.

(01:09)

Speaker 4: It's one photo, one upload on the app, and I'm done.

(01:22)

Alfonso: With the QuickPay from Convoy is like no percentage taken off and you get your money in two, three days. I feel like we both win because the shippers are happy that their product is getting one place up to another on time when they need it. We take pride in our work. It's just a whole circle that if we're doing good, everybody's lifting good around us.

(01:52)

David: With power only, they're able to load their trailers on their own pace and schedule when the delivery can be picked up.

(01:59)
