NoDwell - Investor Presentation

NoDwell

Eliminate the Wait.

Our Supply Chain's Massive Opportunity

Truck drivers waste 30% of their day sitting idle.

Waiting
For dispatch, appointments, dock assignments
Loading
2.5 hr average per facility, minimum of twice on every shipment
Detention
40% of loads are held beyond their contracted times
The Industry Today

Two ways to move freight.

How most of the industry operates

Live Loading

Truck arrives, waits for a dock, gets loaded while the driver sits.

6-24+ hrs
Average turnaround cycle, metro arrival to departure with next load

Proven solution. 1 in 3 shippers have access. The rest is our market.

Drop & Hook

Truck drops a trailer, hooks a pre-loaded one, and goes.

< 1 hour
Average turnaround cycle, metro arrival to departure with next load
The Solution

NoDwell cuts turnaround from
6+ hours → under 1 hour.

By democratizing the drop and hook, creating savings that could pay for the service, and turning the wait into productive miles.

Shared Yard Trucks
One truck serves 2-5 facilities in an industrial park, fractionalizing cost
Drop & Hook for All
Any shipper gets access to what only the largest could before
Subscription
or
On-Demand
Guaranteed or flexible access, no exclusive contracts required

We're the Uber for the first and last mile in trucking.

40% of shipments are affected, so we start here.
Total idle waste is estimated to surpass $100B.

Competition & Differentiation

Others track the problem. We eliminate it.

Scheduling & Visibility
FourKites, project44 - track detention, but the truck still waits
Asset-Heavy Yards
Lazer, YMX - effective, but exclusive contracts, high volume required
Asset Light Brokerages
Offering trailers as a service, lining up the inevitable convergence of these concepts

NoDwell: Shared truck model fills idle time where drop & hook exist and serves the majority of the market currently without access.

Both Lazer Logistics (700+ locations) and YMX are already interested in acquiring our yard services.

Traction & Validation

We're proving this works.

Below revenue earned through our yard spotting provider Spot On Logistics and is based on a 20% take rate for NoDwell.

Why Invest

NoDwell

We're building the truckload sector's first and final mile infrastructure layer that doesn't exist yet.

  • $15.1B ATRI-verified starting market. Detention alone. The real idle-time problem is orders of magnitude larger, but currently invisible due to it being the way it's always been
  • Clear ROI. Turnaround times 5-20x faster, facilities can pay less than it would cost them to vertically integrate, unmatched visibility & flexibility, trucks increase productivity by an average 25%
  • A century of domain expertise. Built by people who have lived through and learned from every part of this problem
  • Early validation + path to scale. $75-125K gross platform revenue per shared site and $25-75K per shared local truck
  • Autonomous trucks are here. We are ready to serve them, then be them. See the Uber and Amazon models; marketplace first, backfill with autonomy second
