Datatruck raises $12M to build the AI-native operating system for long-haul
Datatruck has raised $12 million to build what it describes as an AI-native operating system for long-haul trucking.
No additional details were provided about the funding round, including investors, valuation, or how the company plans to deploy the money. The company’s stated goal is to develop a system designed for long-haul operations with artificial intelligence built in from the start.
For drivers, an “operating system” in this context typically means software meant to tie together day-to-day pieces of the job—things like planning, dispatch communication, paperwork, and other workflow tasks. When a vendor says “AI-native,” it generally signals an intent to automate more of that work or assist with decisions inside the software rather than offering AI as a separate add-on. Datatruck did not share specifics about features or timelines in the information provided.
The funding matters because it reflects ongoing investment in trucking technology aimed at streamlining long-haul operations. In recent years, many products have targeted back-office efficiency and compliance workflows, especially as fleets and carriers look for tools that reduce manual entry, speed up processes, and standardize communication. How much of that translates into better day-to-day execution for drivers depends on whether the tools actually reduce friction—fewer repeat check-ins, less paperwork, clearer instructions, and fewer surprises at pickup and delivery.
Beyond the headline, there is not enough information to say what Datatruck’s software will include or how it will be used in the cab versus in the office. For now, the key development is the size of the raise and the company’s focus on building an AI-centered system specifically for long-haul trucking.
