Fleeting provides shippers and motor carriers direct access to a flexible and reliable fleet of trucks, and to the CDL drivers who operate them. Streamlining access to a workforce of this kind brings more transparency and efficiency to the market while increasing margins for both sides. On our platform, carriers get expedited service from a flexible and reliable workforce, all through an easy to use interface. While drivers choose the jobs they want based on their schedules and preferences. We believe that when drivers are taken care of, customers are provided the best experience. Fleeting is backed by some of the most forward-thinking investors, including Arlan Hamilton, Founder of Backstage Capital, Chamillionaire, Quake Capital Partners, and Kevin Chanuelt, and Republic. The good news is that we’ve grown a significant amount since 2019 and haven’t even scratched the surface on the potential of Fleeting, and our ability to reshape the massive trucking industry.

I started Sweet Loren’s out of necessity. After beating cancer at a young age, I became very conscious of what I put in my body. I cut out hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, most dairy, and anything I couldn’t pronounce! I added in whole food ingredients, whole grains, and the best quality chocolate. With a sweet tooth like mine, I wanted something that was insanely delicious – but only made from ingredients that I loved. Why cookies? Well, aren’t we all obsessed with cookies?! I decided to embark on a journey to create the best-tasting, most wholesome cookies possible. I hired my little sister as my official Taste Tester, and after thousands of pounds of all-natural cookie dough later, my top secret recipes were complete. Suddenly, I was getting orders from family, friends, and friends of friends- that’s when I realized that the world needed better-for-you treats. Sweet Loren’s was born. I truly believe that nothing beats a warm, freshly baked cookie. Even better when shared with family and friends. Convenient place & bake packaging means that you can bake just 1 at a time – or all 12 — even in a toaster oven. And, if you’re feeling creative, check out our recipes. Did you know there’s so much more than cookies that you can bake with our dough? With every cookie, you welcome me into your home so that I can help create delicious, better-for-you, homemade tasting sweets and snacks that you can feel good about eating. From my kitchen to yours! xo, Loren
