At ThoughtDrivers, our mission is to create and provide innovative solutions for the trucking industry. From your most straightforward challenge to the most complex, we are dedicated to delivering results.


According to Bob Costello, chief economist and Vice President of the American Trucking Associations, the trucking industry today is facing some significant challenges. At ThoughtDrivers, we've gotten to work to provide solutions for each.



  • The Driver Shortage. According to many, driver shortages are the number-one challenge facing the industry today, especially long-haul drivers. ThoughtDrivers' solution? Drivers On Demand.


  • Supply and Demand. Getting the balance right is always a challenge. You never want to have more drivers than you need, but you don't have a crystal ball to let you know what demand lies right around the corner. ThoughtDrivers' solution? Drivers On Demand.


  • Tight Pricing, Escalating Costs. While revenue has been growing since 2000, industry revenue is still 30 percent below what it was before deregulation. These days, fleets have to operate more efficiently or get out of the business. Getting the most out of your data, learning your strengths and weakness company-wide and taking timely action are paramount. ThoughtDrivers' solution? CUBE-IT Business Intelligence Software.


  • The Overall Economy. Every expansion or contraction of the economy affects trucking—from manufacturing, to the residential market, to inventory supply chains. The keys to success in such sensitive times are to effectively manage risk, maximize sales, and minimize inventory. ThoughtDrivers' solution? SafetyBox Software and CUBE-IT Business Intelligence Software.


  • Decreased Efficiency. A web of factors interact to affect trucking efficiency—from increased congestion and fuel prices to struggles in routing and managing lengths of hauls. As the industry prepares to meet the challenge of hauling even more freight, identifying inefficiency becomes crucial to success. ThoughtDrivers' solution?
