Tobenna Arodiogbu: The Uber Freight mission statement is to help communities thrive by simplifying the movement of goods. Can you talk about what Uber Freight is doing for shippers and carriers at large?

‍Alyssa Correale: Uber Freight is all in on supporting the trucking industry. We strongly believe that if we continue to achieve this mission we can drive towards supporting communities not only the carriers on our network but also the small/medium size shippers on our platform who can access a democratized network of carriers and offer pricing. We are exposing the nuts and bolts to allow these shippers to experience moving goods in a super efficient way.
