Datatruck Inc., a startup that offers an artificial intelligence-native operating system for North American truckers, announced today that it has raised $12 million in early-stage funding to accelerate product development and extend its technology as carriers increasingly replace legacy transportation management systems with modern, AI-driven platforms.

Founded in 2022, Datatruck’s AI-native operating system is built to modernize the way long-haul trucking carriers run their businesses.

The unified platform brings operational, financial and automation-driven workflows into a single system of record to allow carriers to consolidate dispatch, load management, compliance, accounting and driver communication without switching between multiple tools.

Datatruck replaces manual tasks that have traditionally bogged down trucking back offices. The company’s transport management system capabilities give carriers the ability to manage shipments from assignment to delivery, track real-time status updates and automate load creation, all while maintaining a central source of truth for data across their operations.

The operating system offers embedded AI agents that automate critical workflows. The agents can read rate confirmations, extract data from documents, update brokers and drivers automatically and help with proactive communication based on load status.

Datatruck also integrates deep financial management features directly into its platform. That way, carriers gain visibility into real-time profitability, and get automated International Fuel Tax Agreement reporting, unified billing and driver settlement processes.

“Long-haul carriers don’t need more disconnected tools — they need an operating system that can scale with their business,” explained co-founder and Chief Executive Shah Rahmanov. “Datatruck was built to replace legacy systems with an AI-native platform that integrates operations, automation and financial workflows in one place. That’s what modern carriers expect and it’s why we’re seeing accelerating adoption.”

Datatruck has already replaced hundreds of competitive and legacy TMS systems as carriers modernize their core operating infrastructure, helping them reconcile financial data, prevent revenue leakage and ensure money isn’t left on the table.

Notable Datatruck customers include Alif Uz Corp., KG Caravan Inc., E&O Solutions Inc., UG Holding, Loadex Inc., LNG Holding, Rêver Trans Co., SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp.), Truckline Solutions Inc., Sungor Transportation Inc., Caravan Cargo Inc. and SAM Auto Trans LLC.

The Series A round was led by Avenue Growth Partners, with previous investors also participating.

“Datatruck stood out to us because customers are already using its AI agents to drive real operational efficiency — not just experimenting with them,” said Ryan Russell, founding partner at Avenue. “This is an AI-native platform taking share in a market that’s ready to move beyond legacy systems and we’re excited to partner with the team as they scale.”
