There are millions of truck drivers in the United States. Many drive for large carriers, but hundreds of thousands are freelance and owner-operator drivers. Advancements in the industry often benefit the biggest companies first, while independent drivers get overlooked. Doft (Do Freight Transportation) is built for those drivers, making it easier to find work and use their time efficiently.
Doft connects owner-operators and freelance drivers instantly with shippers. Much like ride-sharing, the platform links shippers who need hauling with available drivers directly, reducing reliance on costly intermediaries. Trucks spend a meaningful share of their time running with no cargo, and Doft is designed to cut that waste by helping drivers keep their trucks loaded between destinations.
Built for small shippers too
The platform is also helpful for small shippers who need last-minute hauling. They save time searching for trucks, and they can track the location of their goods with the app's GPS system.
Why it matters for drivers
The value for drivers comes down to three things:
- A fast connection between shipper and driver
- The efficiency of a consistently full truck
- More opportunities for freelance and owner-operator drivers to find work
For independent truckers who have long been an afterthought in industry technology, that combination is what makes load matching worth using.
