Premium ZEV freight with the infrastructure to support it. California's first electric carrier — and the private ZEV hub network every fleet in the state will need, by law.
Every Fortune 500 shipper on Route 99 is legally required to transition to ZEV carriers. This isn't a sales problem — it's a readiness problem. Starfleet is ready.
No Section 45W credit. Fully-loaded driver costs. Conservative mileage and rates. No AV revenue. This is our floor — not our ceiling. Consult a qualified CPA before making investment decisions.

Four private ZEV logistics hubs along Route 99. Members-only from Day 1. Built to serve both human-driven and autonomous electric fleets — permanently.
Every Fortune 500 shipper on Route 99 is legally required to use ZEV carriers. This is regulatory certainty — not a market bet. CARB mandate timelines are subject to EPA waiver status and enforcement updates; Starfleet's economics are designed to be viable under multiple adoption rates.
The trucking industry's 87% annual driver turnover costs $20,000+ per replacement. Starfleet targets sub-10% by treating drivers as the irreplaceable professionals they are — paying above market, scheduling for their lives, and building a career path that doesn't exist anywhere else in the industry.
We are raising $1,000,000 in a seed round via SAFE on Wefunder. The raise serves as the equity injection that qualifies Starfleet for a $5M SBA 7(a) equipment loan — applied for immediately after the round closes.
California law mandates the future we're building. Shippers have no choice. Drivers will choose us. Hubs compound our value. The only question is whether you're in before the window closes.
