Helping veteran-, minority-, and women-owned fleets with 1–10 trucks cut empty miles, lower fuel costs, and compete like enterprise carriers — on a fixed monthly subscription with no commission cuts.
Founded in 2023 in Dothan, Alabama, Gearshift Express was built to solve a problem we witnessed firsthand: a veteran truck driver losing $15,000 in a single quarter due to poor dispatching, bad routing, and zero operational support. That experience revealed a gap the industry had ignored for decades.
Small trucking fleets — especially veteran-, minority-, and women-owned operators — are competing in a market designed for large carriers, without the tools, data, or back-office support to do so profitably.
Gearshift Express changes that. We deliver enterprise-level dispatch, AI-powered load matching, compliance support, and weekly KPI coaching to fleets with 1–10 trucks — on a fixed monthly subscription that costs a fraction of what commission dispatchers take.
Today we serve 25+ active clients across Alabama and the Southeast, with offices in Dothan and Huntsville. Our team actively recruits veterans and community members — because the people we serve deserve to see themselves in who serves them.
Every service is built to reduce empty miles, lower fuel costs, and help your fleet compete with large carriers — without the overhead.
Our AI monitors load boards in real time to find the most profitable lanes — so you never miss a back-haul.
We cut empty miles by 18% on average and save clients ~$800/month in fuel — measured, not estimated.
Available 24/7 with a sub-2-hour response standard — handling loads, compliance, and back-office tasks.
Each week we review your routes, empty miles, and fuel — then give you specific steps to improve profitability.
Built for new authorities and single‑truck owner‑operators who need stability, compliance support, and predictable revenue. You get AI‑powered dispatch backed by real humans who help reduce empty miles, improve fuel efficiency, and keep you compliant. Includes AI lane selection, weekly KPI reports (fuel burn, DH%, RPM), compliance alerts, 24/7 support, load vetting, rate negotiation help, and a monthly profit plan with clear action steps to keep your operation on track.
Designed for growing fleets that need tighter operations, better routing, and consistent revenue across multiple trucks.
