Milebit

An app for US truck drivers

Milebit is one app for US truck drivers, plus a web dashboard for the carriers they drive for. Drivers get routes built for their truck's dimensions, a fuel plan across state lines, parking, weigh stations, weather and documents in one place. Our AI dispatch turns a load message into a truck-legal route and shows where fuel is cheaper. By our estimate, one well chosen fill-up saves about $80. The product is built and in drivers' hands: the Android app is live on Google Play, and the full launch on the App Store and Google Play is in October. About 200 drivers are testing it, 500+ are on the waitlist and 7 carriers are in talks. We integrate Trimble PC*Miler, HERE, Mapbox and Samsara, our map covers 2,007 active weigh stations and more than 50,000 truck locations, and the platform runs on 5,000+ automated tests. Revenue comes from driver subscriptions and per-seat fleet plans in a market of 3.5 million US truck drivers. The founders previously built Finpard and Orginfo, and our advisor Ozodbek Ulmasov co-founded MyTaxi and Express24. Milebit, Inc. is a Delaware corporation.

The problem

A driver opens several apps a day: navigation, fuel, weather, scales, repairs, chat, paper documents. None of them talk to each other, so the most expensive decisions of the day come down to guesswork.

Ordinary navigation does not know the truck's height
Fuel prices are out of date - every stop is a gamble
No way to tell whether a $4,000 repair bill is fair

The solution

Routing, fuel, tolls and repair shops in one app. The AI reads the dispatch message and returns a route that fits the truck's dimensions, with fuel and toll prices.

Routing - Fits the truck's dimensions
Fuel - Based on real prices
Tolls - Added into the route
Repairs - Shops and price control

Founders

Khozhiakbar Khodzhaev

Founder & CEO at Milebit

A founder with more than 10 years of programming and IT entrepreneurship experience. Has built two products from scratch and brought them to market, and has taught programming to more than 300 students. From Kyrgyzstan, now relocating to Chicago - moving physically closer to the product's target market.

Teaching

Has taught programming to more than 300 students. This shows an ability to build teams and transfer knowledge - a skill that comes in directly useful at the engineer-hiring stage.

Technical role

At Milebit the core code is written by the CTO, but the founder joins the development process directly when needed and helps speed up tasks together with the team.

Products built

Finpard - a SaaS solution, built from scratch and sold

Yola Menu - an app for cafés, built from scratch

Both products were taken from idea to working business. Milebit is his third product - he has already walked this road twice.

Why this project

This is Milebit's strongest argument, and it is expressed most clearly in the founder's own words:

Chicago is jokingly called Kyrgyzstan's eighth province; many of our compatriots there work in trucking. I am from Kyrgyzstan, my co-founder Azizbek lives in Chicago, and we know the fleet owners. Trucker Path does not see these people. It advertises in English, while they sit in a Telegram group. We are from that group.

The distribution advantage is not something that needs to be built - it already exists. The Central Asian driver community in the US is the team's own community.

Why this team

Murodjon Normatov, CTO - 15 years of programming experience. Built orginfo.uz and brought together the UzGeeks community. Has known the founder for 5 years; they met at Asoschilar Klubi (the Founders Club).

Azizbek Khodzhaev, CPO - more than 15 years of entrepreneurship and sales experience. Lives in the US, works directly with fleet owners in Chicago and regularly talks with truck drivers in the US to study their problems. Leads the project's partnership sales channel. The founder's elder brother.

In total the team has accumulated more than 40 years of programming and entrepreneurship experience, and part of it sits directly inside the target market - in Chicago.
