About us

Baton is the Silicon Valley-based technology innovation lab for Ryder, a leading logistics company that owns 260k trucks and manages $7.4B of freight. Prior to the September 2022 acquisition, Baton was a venture-backed start-up that operated a fleet of trucks and hung out at truck stops to truly understand the challenges at hand. **The problem we’re solving** Our mission is to eliminate supply chain waste by creating a digital platform that uses AI to improve how freight is planned. There are 500 million hours wasted in trucking each year, over 3 billion gallons of fuel wasted per year from trucks idling, and 1 in 5 trucks on the road driving empty at any given point. This has a massive impact on the environment, the lives of millions of drivers, and ultimately, the cost of goods that we all pay. Baton is fixing that, and you will too through the impactful work you’ll do here. Join us as we transform the supply chain industry!

    🤨 What is carbon offsetting and how is Baton helping to improve supply chain sustainability? ⬇️ 🌎 Activities like forest conservation, clean energy initiatives, and sustainable waste management are examples of carbon offsetting projects. When a company offsets the carbon emissions it can’t eliminate, it becomes “carbon neutral,” meaning its net release of CO2 into the atmosphere is zero. 🚛 Enter Baton 🚛 We recognize that e-commerce operations are notoriously energy-intensive, with emissions stemming from manufacturing, packaging, transportation, and delivery. 💪 Which is why we're working hard (alongside Ryder) to develop solutions for how goods are transported directly to consumers by reducing carbon emissions, empty miles, and wasted time. ---------------------------
