Baton is the Silicon Valley-based technology innovation lab for Ryder, a Fortune 500 logistics company that owns 260K trucks and manages $7.4B of freight. Before being acquired by Ryder in September 2022, Baton was a venture-backed startup that was voted the #4 most disruptive company in freight! (Amazon was #3.) Our mission is to eliminate waste in the supply chain by creating a digital platform that uses AI to improve how freight is planned. There are 500 million hours wasted in trucking each year, over 3 billion gallons of fuel wasted per year from trucks idling, and 1 in 5 trucks on the road driving empty at any given point. This has a massive impact on the environment, the lives of millions of drivers, and ultimately, the cost of transportation that we all pay.
