Our Story
The idea for Open Road was sparked in late 2014. Henry realized there was a severe lack of shipping options for small and midsize businesses. The resources in place were simply not designed for B2B mid-mile trucking. His experience working with construction companies and contracting firms from 2010 onward involved constant delivery delays for equipment and materials—delays that ultimately cost those businesses money as well as time.
The realization that technology could stop-gap the issue and connect shippers with various companies was only half the problem. Finding a solution for the drivers and trucks was another vital piece of the puzzle. Over the ensuing years, the idea slowly came to fruition.
It centered on the most popular vehicle sold in America every year: the Ford F150.
With around 1 million trucks produced annually, the market could create a sustainable, expedient delivery system for those less-than-truckload shipments and prevent project delays. Our solution, Open Road, works in a world where Timing is Everything.
