Truck Lagbe

What Truck Lagbe does

Truck Lagbe operates a two-sided mobile marketplace in Bangladesh that connects truck owners and drivers with shippers needing transportation services for goods, house shifting, and corporate logistics. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Dhaka, the platform runs on separate Android and iOS applications for shippers and truck owners, featuring a competitive bidding system where multiple vendors compete on each trip, real-time GPS tracking, verified driver and vehicle credentials, and support for multi-stop and round-trip bookings. The company has scaled from 25 trucks at founding to over 80,000 registered trucks, 1 million+ registered shippers, and 700,000+ completed trips, with 1.8 million+ app downloads and 11,000+ business clients including Coca-Cola Bangladesh, Unilever Bangladesh, PepsiCo Bangladesh, Walton, and Square Pharmaceuticals.

The product surface has expanded beyond the core booking marketplace into adjacent offerings: TL TMS (enterprise transportation management software), TL Shop (e-commerce for truck parts), Shifting Services (house and office relocation with skilled labor), and a Truck Buy-Sell classifieds marketplace. The underlying technology is a mobile/web platform with GPS integration, real-time bidding infrastructure, and payment gateway integrations with bKash, Nagad, and SSL Commerz to serve Bangladesh's predominantly mobile-money economy.

Truck Lagbe monetizes through transaction commissions on completed trips, charging a non-refundable service fee as a percentage of fare from truck owners, with preferential rates for corporate clients served through a dedicated business team. The company has raised approximately $12.3 million across five funding rounds from 2018 through 2022, with institutional investors including IFC, IDLC Finance, PSA International, Seedstars, and Shorooq Partners, supporting continued investment in driver training, technology development, and service expansion within Bangladesh.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Shiprocket: India-based aggregator platform for e-commerce shipping and trucking, with TMS-like capabilities for SMB shippers. Comparable horizontal platform serving SMB shippers across multiple carrier types.

Regional players

• Pickupp: Asia-based on-demand delivery and logistics marketplace operating across Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and the Philippines. Comparable mobile marketplace model with similar SMB and enterprise focus.
• Borzo (formerly WeFast): Same-day intra-city delivery platform operating across Latin America, India, and other emerging markets. Comparable asset-light on-demand delivery marketplace, though geographically adjacent rather than direct.

Direct peers

• Porter: India-based on-demand intra-city and inter-city truck and two-wheeler booking marketplace. Closest direct peer given its two-sided app marketplace, bidding model, and similar B2B/SMB shipper base.
• Blackbuck (now Blackbuck Logistics): India's leading digital freight marketplace connecting shippers with truck operators, with TMS and financing adjacencies. Highly comparable marketplace model, especially relevant to Truck Lagbe's TL TMS roadmap.
• Rivigo: India-based technology-enabled trucking and logistics platform operating a relay-led trucking network. Comparable in applying tech to fragmented Indian trucking, with a different asset-heavy model.
• Lalamove: Asia-wide on-demand delivery and truck booking app operating across Southeast Asia, Latin America, and beyond. Highly comparable mobile-first two-sided marketplace model for vans and trucks.
• GOGOX (formerly GogoVan): Hong Kong-headquartered on-demand logistics marketplace operating across Asia. Directly comparable mobile marketplace connecting shippers with driver-owners for trucks and vans.

Broad incumbents

• Delhivery: India's largest integrated logistics and supply-chain company with freight, parcel, and TMS offerings. A broad incumbent Truck Lagbe could partner with, displace, or evolve into as it scales enterprise.
• Uber Freight: Global digital freight brokerage from Uber with TMS and capacity-matching tools. Represents the scaled, well-capitalized incumbent that regional freight marketplaces must defend against as they grow.
