The Launch of TransportASIAN
At Convoy, we truly believe a small group of employees working together can build anything or solve any problem, just like Dan, Grant, and our first teammates did at the start of the company. We apply this belief every year during Moonshot Week, our hackathon-style event where employees pursue ideas or projects that have the…
Convoy Veteran Spotlight: Diankha Linear
At Convoy, we value the women and men who have served or are currently serving in the United States Military. We recognize and appreciate that many people in trucking, freight, and logistics are veterans and believe it is important that our employee demographics reflect that.

Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Pride in Atlanta
Since the 1970s, people have been coming together all over America to celebrate Pride Month in June each year.

CONVOY HAUL STAR, ISAAC WILKE, SHARES HIS EXPERIENCE WITH CONVOY
Macey: One of my favorite questions to ask carriers is how did you find Convoy? Isaac: I actually found Convoy on another load board. We were looking for something local to do that day and we found this shipment with Convoy as the broker. So I gave Convoy a call, and right then and there,…

A year…
Convoy Haul Star, Robert Key, Shares His Experience with Convoy
Macey: Thank you for joining us today Robert! One of my favorite questions to ask carriers is what brought you to Convoy, and how did your first shipment go? Robert: “Okay. I’m a little sentimental about that first shipment because of the circumstances surrounding it. It was crazy. I got into it with my last…
Reflections on Women@Convoy
As Convoy continues on its journey toward building a more equitable company, it takes the support of the whole Convoy community to make that vision a reality. This was especially true in the formation of our Women@Convoy Employee Resource Group (ERG), Convoy’s first ERG, in 2018. Women@Convoy emerged from a groundswell of ardent and supportive…
Introducing Black@Convoy
In the weeks following the murder of George Floyd by police, Convoy, like many other companies, put out a statement affirming our support for our Black employees and community members. In this statement, we acknowledged the centuries of privilege, ignorance, and inequalities inherent in our society as well as the role we have played in…
Freight and LGBTQIA+
Monday’s Supreme Court decision [1] was momentous for the LGBTQIA+ community’s struggle for equal rights. Against the backdrop of current world events, we’ve learned that legal amendments aren’t enough to ensure all people are treated equally. The SCOTUS decision, like many historic decisions recognizing marginalized groups, marks a powerful moment in time where the real…
Black Lives Matter | Enough is enough: driving change at Convoy
The past few weeks have shed a much needed light on centuries of privilege, ignorance, and inequalities inherent in our society. The tragic deaths of Black Americans at the hands of those meant to protect them must end, and we must put in our share of the work to ensure that no one else suffers…

Designing at the speed of a startup
I work at a fast-paced company. We ship often. We measure twice before and twice after. We constantly push ourselves to deliver a better customer experience. The technology we’ve created is reinventing the way our users approach their jobs, and there is no blueprint for what we are building. We’re actively redefining an industry and I…
