Dan Lewis launched Convoy in 2015 into the highly fragmented industry of trucking. Now worth $3.8 billion, the company is a leader in bringing digital services to trucking and freight. I’m thrilled to have him on TechCrunch Live this week, along with Chris Howard, founding partner at Fuel Capital, which invested in Convoy’s first several rounds.

As you’ll hear, in 2014 and 2015, freight was ready for reinvention. Uber was becoming a verb, and the trucking industry needed a digital solution to connect the different parts of the industry. Convoy launched at the right time, CEO Chris Howard told me. Starting in 2014 wireless carriers started offering free smartphones, and once truckers got their hands on these devices, the industry quickly started to change.

But there’s more to this story than just free smartphones. Lewis and his fellow co-founders spent countless hours with truckers, trying to understand the market and how digital services would impact their businesses. Dan even explains that the company occasionally holds off-sites at truck stops.

During this event, we’ll look at Convoy’s early pitch decks, which illustrates why Convoy launched when it did and how it established clear guiding principles.

    Yes. I believe Verizon will take all of cable’s customers. Ericsson and Forbes predict 70% annual growth for 5G Home internet until 2026. Verizon stock price is -22% less than precovid on 2/20/2022, so it’s a great buy, and it pays 5.7% dividend.

    Verizon 5G home internet: I have the ASK-NCQ1338 box and 4/5 bars for 5G signal. I got 330 download, 23 upload, no data cap. So easy, just plug in the power cord and it works. Verizon is $50/mo ($25/mo if u have unlimited cellphone plan), and I’ve cancelled cable. I tested 7 tvs streaming simultaneously in the evening and Speedtest said that the download speed was 177 down.
    Cable internet/tv/phone bundle has been monopolizing/raping me for 20 years, and cable is unreliable, and TV picture is bad at 720P/1080i.

    I have 60 devices. I have a large 2 story house 2600ft.
    I also ordered another 5G home internet for my son who’s going back to college for his off-campus rental house
