When we set out to build Nearfleet, our goal was simple: make same-day delivery more reliable and customer-centric. Traditional logistics was too slow and expensive. Gig-based, on-demand delivery wasn’t much better – still costly, and often unreliable and unprofessional. We believed there had to be a better way: one that combined the long-range reach and high-density, multi-stop efficiency of traditional logistics with the speed of on-demand delivery, but at a price point that actually made sense.

​

Our team's passion is logistics. We have a long history of founding and managing companies across self-storage, warehousing, fulfillment, and parcel shipping. The inspiration for Nearfleet – a hubless, fully-mobile delivery network – came from multiple sources. Two friends, both former executives at major carriers, described how drivers would often gather in parking lots or cul-de-sacs to exchange packages on the fly – performing field hand-offs to rebalance loads during volume spikes. It was an informal, adaptive system that worked, despite being unsupported by the infrastructure around it.

​

We also drew lessons from military logistics, where mobility and adaptability are essential to mission success. Instead of relying on centralized hubs, military units often use forward-positioned assets and decentralized resupply points to keep operations moving. Resources are staged closer to the point of need, and hand-offs happen dynamically, in the field, based on timing, terrain, and unit positioning. The goal is continuous movement, not dependency on static nodes.

 

This philosophy helped shape Nearfleet’s architecture: a system where deliveries flow through software-defined transfer points, not fixed facilities, and where responsiveness, not proximity to infrastructure, defines speed and reliability.

​

As we built on these ideas, our vision expanded. We realized that a hubless, fully-mobile network wasn’t just a more efficient model for today – it was a foundation for the future. By removing reliance on fixed infrastructure and enabling dynamic, in-field coordination, we created the conditions for autonomy to thrive. In this architecture, autonomous trucks, robots, and drones aren’t forced to conform to rigid depot-based workflows – they operate as flexible, interoperable nodes in a constantly adapting network. Each asset, whether human or machine, can receive, relay, or deliver based on real-time conditions, not static assignments.

​

Nearfleet’s system is not only built to meet the demands of same-day logistics today, it’s designed to accelerate the transition to autonomous delivery tomorrow. Fully mobile, fully adaptive, and ready for what comes next.
