Insurance claims, financial statements, invoices, and health records are all stored in a structure that’s simply impractical for use in digital workflows. This isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a critical bottleneck that leads to dozens of wasted hours every week .

FleetWorks is rebuilding the $1 trillion freight marketplace with AI. Every year, companies spend over a trillion dollars moving freight across the U.S. - but the system for matching trucks with jobs is still slow, manual, and fragmented. FleetWorks is fixing that.

• No internal politics : Our team stays focused on core projects, so everyone at FleetWorks has significant autonomy to build. There are no micro-managers, low-value meetings, or jockeying for priority.

• High leverage: From backend engineers to GTM leads, you'll recruit across every function. Your work will shape the trajectory of the company, and you'll see the impact immediately.
