Know the unknown.

Ricerca Labs is a data science and software development company. Our first market is trucking, where we follow one driver from training to every load booked.

01Thesis

We build private systems that run a business on its own numbers. The data is cleaned, every figure traces back to its source, and the result is explained in plain language.

02How it connects

How the businesses connect

One route, four stops, one foundation underneath. Each stop leads to the next, and every product is built on the same data science.

Route map. Train: the Training Academy trains experienced drivers. Seat: the Elite Fleet seats trained drivers with carriers. Run: the Owner Operator App, the hub, is where everything lives. Book: the Honest Load Board books loads at a price that only rises. The app and the load board share one sign-in and one FMCSA check. Every product is built on the same Ricerca data science: clean the data, prove every number, explain it plainly. 01 TRAIN Training Academy tuition-free, for experienced drivers 02 SEAT The Elite Fleet trained drivers seated with carriers 03 RUN · THE HUB Owner Operator App where everything lives 04 BOOK Honest Load Board loads at a price that only rises TRAINED DRIVERS SEATED DRIVERS ONE SIGN-IN · ONE FMCSA CHECK brokers post, carriers book THE FOUNDATION Ricerca data science in every product Clean the data · prove every number · explain it plainly Route map.

03The hub

The Owner Operator App is where everything lives

One account at app.ricercalabs.com reaches every product. The app home opens each one.

The driver's business
Rate confirmations, settlements and receipts, read into one record. Pay per mile and per hour, and every number one tap from the paper it came from.
Laya
The co-pilot inside the app, who explains the numbers in plain language.
Your company
A carrier or broker checks its USDOT or MC number against FMCSA once. That check decides who may post and who may book on the load board.
Honest Load Board
The same account signs in at honestloadboard.com: brokers post loads and carriers book them under the company the app already checked.
The Elite Fleet
The carrier side of the academy. Seated drivers run their trucks as a business with the same account.
The academy
Every applicant starts with the online aptitude test, taken inside the app.

  4. 04Bookhonestloadboard.com

    Honest Load Board

    A load board that tells the truth. Every load posts an all-in price, fuel surcharge included, that only rises until someone books it.

    Brokers and carriers are checked against FMCSA. Carriers see city and ZIP until a booking is confirmed; a photo check-in at the truck and a booking summary for factoring close the deal.

    Free for carriers · Brokers post 25 loads free, then $2 per load from prepaid posting credit

    Connects to
    Signs in with the app account and uses the app's FMCSA company check; each booking ends in a summary the carrier can hand to a factoring company.
