As a seasoned HR professional, Beth Potratz is passionate about helping people find jobs that fit their lifestyle. But the way people work has changed drastically in recent years – and Beth understood that the hiring process needed to shift as well.

While consulting for a large carrier who needed drivers, Beth realized that the trucking industry – vital to the economy and struggling to attract new talent – would be the perfect test case for the personalized, matchmaking recruitment service she’d been envisioning. From there, the first iteration of Drive My Way – a SaaS startup that pairs CDL truck drivers with available jobs based on their qualifications and preferences –was born.

After receiving initial support from local entrepreneurial service organizations, Beth partnered with JumpStart Ventures to scale her marketplace solution to hiring in the trucking industry.

With JumpStart Ventures’ support, Beth accelerated her company’s growth from seed to a recently closed $4.4M Series A round.

The latest funding is earmarked to expand the tech platform’s capabilities to enhance user experience, corner the market on commercial driver recruitment and enter new industries.
