True, but Porter mainly operates in cities. The real challenge is with regional and long-distance logistics, where vehicles often return empty. Many trucks also don’t use their full capacity — they carry smaller loads than they can handle. If we connect them with on-route or return orders that fit in their remaining space, we can ensure better truck utilization, reduce fuel wastage, and even offer lower delivery prices to customers.
