...a bit of a rocky road.

My name is Chiamaka

and I'm a female CEO in a man's industry.

There's a lot of inefficiencies in West Africa.

You book a truck.

You keep your fingers crossed.

Hoping, waiting to see a shipment at your door.

If it shows up, fine. If it doesn't show up, too bad.

I was like why?

Why do we have to go through all of this?

Growing up, I always used to like to

take things apart, put things together.

I was always curious about what makes things work.

But I wanted to solve a real problem

like a real world problem.

Truckr is an app where shippers can go find

any kind of truck they want

to move whatever kind of cargo they have.

You click a button

and the truck comes to you, just like magic.

Google Maps Platform helps our customers

see in real time where their truck is.

You can watch the truck from the pick-up location

to the drop off.

All through the journey, they can talk to the driver

in real time.

Young Chiamaka would be so, super proud

of where I am right now.

Because when you can show that you do good work

in this male dominated industry,

they give you your respect.

We want to expand all through West Africa

and then definitely, it's Truckr to the world!
