What the US’ wasted truck space taught me about profitable sustainability
We need better models that turn sustainability from added expense to a key ingredient for growth. One entrepreneur has created so I created a new model for the freight sector.
Oren Zaslansky is the founder and CEO of Flock Freight®, a technology company that’s reducing waste and inefficiency by fundamentally changing how freight moves.
Raised by parents who worked for a van line and later started their own freight forwarders, Oren has deep-seated roots in logistics and entrepreneurship. At 21, he founded a 125-truck fleet that provided white-glove freight service throughout the U.S. and Canada. His subsequent venture, SolSource Logistics, continues to operate today, with Oren serving as chairman. SolSource Logistics opened Oren’s eyes to how wasteful traditional freight shipping is. He became determined to find a new approach by building a technology-driven solution.
Flock Freight (formerly AuptiX) opened its doors in 2015, driven by Oren's vision of using technology to combine multiple shipments into one multi-stop shared truckload. Under Oren's leadership, Flock Freight continues to rapidly grow while creating a new standard of service for shippers, increasing revenue for carriers, and eliminating the impact of carbon emissions through the patented shared truckload solution, FlockDirect®.
When Oren’s not conducting business at Flock Freight, he spends time with his wife and two children in Cardiff, CA.
