The $700B US trucking industry is the backbone of American commerce with 80% of all cargo transported overland by trucks, yet it is plagued with inefficiency and ultimately controlled by a bloated intermediary brokerage system whose incentives are not aligned with the true stakeholders.

Imagine forming a blockchain platform bringing together shippers, carriers, truckers and brokers where they can place and track orders, assess performance records, compare pricing and extend credit. Add in a set of decentralized applications (DApps) linking up these stakeholders--and a new digital token speeding their transactions--and you could cut billions of dollars in inefficiencies from the $700 billion-dollar-a-year trucking industry.

That is the vision of Fr8 Network, a newly formed upstart that aims to take the pain out of shipping by targeting, in particular, the $66 billion a year in fees exacted by some 16,000 middleman brokerages. Some key points:
· Potential savings are huge. Trucks travel an astounding 29.6 billion miles every year only partially loaded or entirely empty--a waste of capacity even as businesses struggle with a shortage of drivers.
· Cut that unused capacity in half, and we could save $30 billion a year in fuel costs and reduce carbon emissions from trucks by 100 million tons per year, 20% of their total carbon output.
· By matching customers to and carriers online, the industry could sidestep broker fees that pose up to 20% of the cost of shipping goods; cut fees in half and the industry saves some $30 billion.

yPredict
yPredict.ai is an ecosystem of AI/ML experts, financial quants, traders, and investors. The range of products includes analytical tools & platforms designed to provide insights and analytics through state-of-art financial prediction methods and metrics built with alternate data to make wise trading and investment decisions. Financial markets including crypto tend to lose their predictability due to a significant volume of trades being executed through sophisticated algos which tend to evolve and improve themselves, this changes the dynamics of price structure formations constantly and thus making financial markets incredibly difficult to predict for humans including price action traders who specializes in understanding and predicting market moves through price structure formations. With these complexities in financial markets, traders and an investor are left with extreme noise and no statistical edge. As the majority of market participants rely solely on news and public opinion on social media and trading signals from dishonest signal providers. This is where yPredict.ai aims to bridge the gap and play a significant role, by providing access to data-driven insights, proven analytical metrics, and a prediction marketplace where financial data scientists can offer results/signals generated through their predictive models as a monthly subscription service. yPredict.ai platforms including the marketplace would provide them with a market to sell their model predictions as a service. Thus leveraging and harnessing their skills without the need of dealing with trading operations or having to find a market for their predictive models.
