From Driver to CEO growing revenue to $9.7M in three years. The first Black man to raise over $1million via crowdfunding platforms. Meet Pierre.
At 15, I landed in Brooklyn from Haiti chasing a dream of becoming a neurologist. What I found instead was a neighborhood where ambition got swallowed by poverty, violence, and dead ends.
I refused to become a statistic.
I got behind the wheel. Earned my CDL. Drove across America. Built two companies—one of them hit $2.5M in revenue in just 18 months. Then came Fleeting.
Today, I'm the founder and CEO of Fleeting—building a platform that tackles the driver shortage and gives second chances to people society has written off. We're creating a world where truckers get flexibility, investors earn passively, and returning citizens build new lives with dignity.
Revolutionizing logistics takes hard work and discipline. Despite my achievements, there's still work to be done.
(...and that's not your fault)
The truth is, most truckers were trained to drive -
Not to negotiate.
Not to calculate rate-per-mile.
Not to recognize fuel traps or toll zones.
Not to know when a load is making you money… or bleeding you dry.
At every turn in this business, I saw drivers being squeezed, working longer hours, running longer miles, and still barely keeping their wheels turning.
That's not because they're lazy. It's because the system was never built for them.
That's why I created Fleeting.
Because I believe the future of freight belongs to the carriers who've been left out of the conversation and the ones ready to take it back.
Our promise? Simple: We put truckers at the center of the logistics system, not at the bottom of it.
We're building tools, strategies, and infrastructure that give drivers what the big fleets already have:
Why does it matter?
Because a well-supported carrier is a smarter, safer carrier. And when drivers win, everyone wins. From supply chains to consumers to regulators, stability starts with us.
Freight can't evolve until the people moving it do. And I'm here to make sure they do.
