We Break Bread with the CEO and Co-Founder of Fleeting, Pierre Laguerre. Born and raised in Haiti, Pierre, moved to the states at the age of 15. Through sheer will and over 15 years of experience in trucking, Pierre found Fleeting - a platform designed to connect companies with qualified and reliable CDL drivers - connecting the shippers to the truck owners to the drivers. Since its launch in 2018, his company has been backed by some of the most forward-thinking investors, including Arlan Hamilton, Founder of Backstage Capital, Chamillionaire, Quake Capital Partners, Republic, and most recently Kyrie Irving.
