I’ve been covering the auto industry since 1989, first as CNN Detroit Bureau Chief, then as the National Auto Writer for the Associated Press, General Motors beat writer at the Detroit News and video reporter at Automotive News.

The Bill of Rights was a seminal set of basic freedoms enacted as the United States of America became a new democracy. Now a company coming out of year of what it calls stealth operation is officially launched Wednesday with the goal of democratizing the trucking business for drivers.

As it comes out of stealth operation Billor has also revealed its artificial intelligence tool, Billor CoPilot using a specially equipped tablet computer mounted in the truck. Its purpose, says Goetten, is to help drivers make more money and improve their quality of life through better scheduling, vehicle maintenance and travel needs using machine learning and AI.

So far Billor has about 130 member drivers with a goal of increasing that to 300 by the end of the year and 5,000 by 2028 according to Goetten.One of those 130 drivers is Maryland-based Douglas Amorim. During a stop while moving primarily construction materials, Amorim paused long enough to answer a few questions via email.

“I have been making over $3,000.00 net per week,” Amorim explained. “I am now planning to fulfill another dream, which is to buy my first house here in the U.S. Billor has also allowed me to support not only my family in the U.S. but also my parents who live in Brazil.”
