Truckstop.com will use Iconiq Capital’s resources and expertise to expand the company’s portfolio of technology solutions, geared toward improving efficiencies for carriers and brokers. 

This investment follows several years of strong company growth during which Truckstop.com expanded its executive leadership team, added tens of thousands of customers, created hundreds of new jobs, invested heavily in product development and infrastructure build-out, completed multiple acquisitions and formed extensive partner integrations.

Company officials said in an email that the investment will allow Truckstop.com to better serve its carrier and broker customers by significantly increasing the number of development professionals employed by the company and thereby increase the quality and quantity of products offered.

Paris Cole, CEO of Truckstop.com, said in Iconiq it found “a partner with a deep passion for product excellence and innovation, as well as an exceptional cultural fit.”
