Trukkr shows innovative prowess in their integrated technology; Peter Findley reflects on the secret of their success “Trukkr’s technology is top in a category not just in Pakistan but also in global markets. Its management team has a great understanding of how to implement the freight solution. Their knowledge of graph theory allows them to understand routes in a manner that minimizes waste.
