In "Ending the 60% Waste: The Radical Shift Trucking Needs Right Now," Joe Lynch and Erik Malin , Founder and CEO of Tetro, discuss how treating trucking as a function of time, rather than miles, is the only way to eliminate the massive inefficiencies plaguing drivers and future autonomous fleets. Time is the real commodity. About Erik Malin Erik Malin is the founder and CEO of Tetro, a technology company rebuilding trucking for the autonomous era. He has spent his entire career in freight, where his conviction that the industry measures the wrong thing, miles instead of time, became the thesis behind Tetro. Previously, Erik was on the founding team at Baton, a freight-tech startup acquired by Ryder, and led operations at FreightTech unicorn Loadsmart. About Tetro Tetro is a technology company that operates its own trucking fleet to recapture lost supply chain time and build essential data assets. Because 60% of time is currently wasted in trucking, the most common job in America has suffered perhaps the greatest wage suppression in history, and autonomous technology will never reach its full potential since a driverless truck still loses that same 60%.
