One driver. 18 months. An entire ecosystem to fix the industry that made him.
After 10 years as a truck driver, I stepped away from the wheel—but I couldn't leave the industry behind. Not when I knew exactly what was broken. Not when I saw AI racing to automate everything without understanding what drivers, dispatchers, and brokers actually need.
So I taught myself distributed systems. Self-taught. Solo. For 18 months. Before that, I spent 6 years studying dispatching—not just doing it, but mastering every detail so I could build something that actually works.
Not to build another logistics app. But to create an entire ecosystem that protects the human element while embracing AI's power.
OpenHWY is being built as a non-profit educational foundation. Free courses. Free alignment tools. Open-source protocols. Powered by the infrastructure I built through Fast&Easy Dispatching LLC—my 6-year-old dispatching company that funds this mission through FED TMS.
This is for the drivers, dispatchers, and small fleets who deserve better tools and a voice in how AI changes our world. Education stays free. The mission stays protected. Forever.
Three apps. One vision. Complete freight alignment from education to execution.

BETA - Join NowFleet Ecosystem Director
The full-power commercial TMS built by Fast&Easy Dispatching LLC. FED is a paid product with advanced features, automation tools, and desktop/mobile capabilities. FED's revenue funds the entire OpenHWY ecosystem— keeping education free while powering the infrastructure behind ELDA, Logbooks, and Highway Watch Yard.
Features: Advanced TMS, automation workflows, multi-platform access, integrated ELDA chat, and complete Logbook management.
In DevelopmentThe Human Verification Layer
When AI starts booking freight, someone needs to watch over it. Highway Watch Yard connects brokers to Highway Yarddogs (verified drivers) for human-confirmed load handoffs. No AI hallucinations. No miscommunication. Just real people verifying real freight.
Purpose: Protect drivers and brokers during the AI transition. Keep humans in the loop for rate negotiations and booking decisions.
Coming 2025OpenHWY is being structured as a non-profit educational foundation. All courses, alignment tools, and open protocols will remain free forever. The infrastructure is powered by Fast&Easy Dispatching LLC, my 6-year-old dispatching company that built FED TMS as a commercial product.
FED TMS profits fund OpenHWY's mission. This ensures education stays free while maintaining the infrastructure needed to power ELDA, the Logbook system, and Highway Watch Yard. It's the Mozilla model for freight— commercial products funding free education and open standards.
Your founder donations accelerate development and help establish OpenHWY Inc. as an independent non-profit entity. You're not just supporting software—you're supporting a protected mission that can't be bought out or shut down.
Building a distributed AI ecosystem from scratch while documenting every experiment, every chat log, every version.
Self-taught distributed systems, designed the three-app architecture, built the Logbook protocol, and created the first 30 AI tools including Packet Pilot, Cargo Connect, and Big Bear.
Developed 75+ course modules, built the Flutter application, integrated FED TMS orchestration in background, and refined ELDA's personality as the alignment specialist who listens without judgment.
Architected how FED dispatches to Highway Watch Yard, how Logbooks create network effects, and how all three apps share data while maintaining clear boundaries.
Preparing ELDA beta launch, building founder program, and opening the doors for the community that will shape the future of freight alongside me.

After submitting, you'll receive payment instructions and immediate beta access details.
Chat with ELDA right now. Try course modules as they're published. Test the FED TMS dashboard. See the Logbook system in action. You're not waiting—you're building alongside me.
The first users to get a Logbook in the OpenHWY ecosystem. Your digital identity with custom badges showing you were here from day one. This is your story—achievement tracking, connections, reputation.
Founder, Investor, Beta Tester, or Yarddog badges displayed prominently on your Logbook. These are permanent marks that you believed in the mission before anyone else did.
Share feedback directly with me. Your input shapes features, tools, and how the ecosystem evolves. This isn't just beta testing—it's co-creation.
Regular updates on development progress, technical challenges I'm solving, and where the build is heading. See the 1.5-year journey continue in real-time.
When Highway Watch Yard launches, founders get priority access. When premium features roll out, founders get discounts or lifetime access. You're investing in what's coming next.
AI is coming to freight whether we're ready or not. Big tech companies are building automation tools without understanding what truckers, dispatchers, and small fleets actually need.
OpenHWY is different. It's built by someone who spent 10 years behind the wheel. Someone who knows the loneliness of the road, the pressure of dispatch, the razor-thin margins of freight operations.
This is your chance to be part of something that actually understands the industry. To shape AI tools that enhance human decision-making instead of replacing it.
The first Logbooks are being issued now. The beta is launching. The mission is real.
Join The Founders ProgramAbsolutely not. Anyone who believes in the mission can join and get a Logbook. Supporters from outside the industry are just as valuable—you're helping fund a tool that will change lives for drivers and small fleet owners.
You can chat with ELDA, explore the dashboard-style Logbook, try course modules as they're published, and see the FED TMS dashboard in action. It's early but functional—you'll be testing real features.
100% goes toward development: server costs, AI infrastructure, tool integrations, Flutter app deployment, and accelerating the build timeline. This is a solo project—every dollar directly impacts how fast I can ship features.
Yes. ELDA's core features (courses, basic TMS, ELDA chat, Logbook) will always be free or minimal cost. Advanced automation and AI-heavy features in FED may have compute fees, but the mission is to make logistics alignment accessible to everyone.
Targeting 2025, but it depends on how fast ELDA and FED mature. Highway Watch Yard is the biggest piece—it's the marketplace that protects human decision-making as AI automates freight booking. Founders will get priority access when it launches.
This is a donation-based founder program, not a traditional purchase. Contributions support ongoing development, and you receive beta access and badges in return. If you're unsatisfied with beta access, reach out directly—I'll work with you.
"I spent 10 years on the road. I know what it's like to wait hours for dispatch. To watch margins shrink while tech companies build tools that don't understand our world. To feel the isolation that comes with this job.
When I stepped away from driving, I made myself a promise: I won't leave without giving back to the industry that made me who I am.
For 1.5 years, I've been teaching myself distributed systems, building agents, creating tools that actually solve real problems. Every line of code. Every late night. Every experiment. All documented. All saved. All leading to this.
OpenHWY isn't just my project—it's a mission to protect what matters as AI changes everything. To keep humans in the driver's seat for the decisions that count.
Join me. Let's build the future of freight together."
