Imagine the following chaotic scene at a warehouse on the outskirts of a major city. Truck drivers travelling potentially hundreds of miles from their homes, paying parking and entry fees, sparring with their peers for assignments that are frantically claimed nearly as fast as the middlemen can jot them down on giant chalkboards. For many years, this was the situation at hundreds of “logistics parks” across China. That is, until former Alibaba executive Peter Hui Zhang created a new, more efficient way to match truckers with shipping needs through a single application. This is the story of Full Truck Alliance.
