{"id":64079,"title":"Kamion: Uber for Trucks for the Turkish Market","tagline":"Kamion connects shippers and truckers in MENA's largest economy! ","body":"_tl;dr_ - [Kamion](https://kamion.co/) connects shippers with truckers in the B2B space in Turkey.\n\n\\\n**the Problem:**\n\nTurkey is MENA’s largest economy, with \\~850,000 independent truckers and a logistics TAM of 73 Billion USD. However, in its current state, freight forwarding for trucking faces two main challenges:\n\n1. _1) Operational Inefficiency —_ There are many phone calls, emails, and f2f conversations in booking trucks for your loads.\n2. _2) Fragmented Market —_ The top 10 players in trucking account for around 5-6% of the total market size. SME fleets (5-10 trucks) run 90-95% of the market.\n\n\\\n**the Solution:**\\\n\\\nWe act as the main point of contact for the shippers and reduce complexity for them. We also utilize technology to do more with fewer people and collect data.\n\n\\\n**Why we built Kamion:**\\\n\\\nBerkay started working at an early age and spent a lot of time in the logistics, procurement, and warehousing departments. Working with data during his graduate school years helped him see the inefficiencies in processes in these departments. He and the team are building Kamion to solve these inefficiencies!","slug":"GfX-kamion-uber-for-trucks-for-the-turkish-market","created_at":"2022-06-26T10:03:01.642Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T01:59:52.782Z","total_vote_count":71,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/GfX-kamion-uber-for-trucks-for-the-turkish-market","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":27222,"name":"Kamion","slug":"kamion","url":"https://www.kamion.co","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/3a973399e59c8f4e8a780a1b7de322e6fff79878.png","batch":"Summer 2022","industry":"B2B","tags":["Marketplace","Logistics"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/27222"}}
