Spotlight

What if AI agents didn’t just assist trucking operators—but ran dispatch, invoicing, and even phone calls?

Quick Pitch: Hemut is an AI-native Truck Management Software (TMS) platform that automates logistics operations end to end—from dispatch and load booking to accounting and fleet maintenance. Built for mid-sized fleets, it replaces fragmented legacy tools with a single AI-powered system.

The Problem

  • Fragmentation: Dispatchers, brokers, and accountants add 10–30% in overhead.

  • Inefficiency: Paper notes, WhatsApp chats, and hold music slow down workflows.

  • Tech Stagnation: Nearly 70% of U.S. goods move by truck, yet most systems haven’t been meaningfully updated in years.

Snapshot

  • Industry: Trucking logistics and fleet management software

  • Headquarters: Rockford, Illinois

  • Year Founded: 2024 (YC X25)

  • Traction: Six-figure ARR within the first six months

Founder Profiles

  • Loki Cheema, Co-Founder, CEO: Built a 16-truck fleet from scratch after experiencing homelessness at 16. Six years of hands-on dispatch and logistics experience.

  • Anthony Guerrera, Co-Founder & CTO: UCLA Electrical Engineering '25. Built real-time trading systems at RBC. Full-stack engineer with AI and voice agent expertise.

Funding

Revenue Engine

  • Model: B2B SaaS, starting at $50/truck/month

  • Market: $102B U.S. logistics back-office segment

  • Potential: 1% penetration = $1B+ ARR

What Users Love

  • AI document parsing eliminates manual data entry and chat-based workflows

  • Voice agents handle inbound/outbound calls

  • One platform for everything from load booking to repairs

  • Native EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) connects directly to shippers and brokers

  • Cash factoring for instant payments

Playing Field

Hemut’s Edge:  AI-first voice and workflow automation baked in from day one

Why It Matters

The $1T U.S. trucking industry relies on a $102B back office that remains largely manual. AI now makes it viable to digitize these workflows—unlocking a major vertical opportunity.

What Sets Them Apart

  • AI-Native: Voice and document automation built in, not added on

  • Full Stack: Covers dispatch to accounting

  • Founder-Market Fit: Operators building for operators

  • Early Traction: Six-figure revenue in six months

  • All-in-One: What others split into modules, Hemut delivers in one platform

Analysis

Bulls Case 📈 

  • AI wedge into a $100B+ vertical

  • Deep founder experience in logistics

  • Fast traction and enterprise demand

  • YC backing signals early validation

Bears Case 📉 

  • Competes with entrenched legacy vendors

  • Needs to scale quickly to beat other AI-native entrants

  • Trucking is slow to adopt new tech

  • Customer acquisition cost (CAC) is high in B2B logistics software

Verdict

Hemut is betting AI-native systems won’t just support logistics—they’ll run it. In a massive, under-digitized market, its fast start and tight execution give it a real shot. The question is whether it becomes the OS for logistics—or just another app in the stack.
