Jerry woke up early in his bunk

Mary was still asleep in his arms

She just saved my life he said to himself 

I owe her big time

Mary woke up and smiled

What can I do for you asked Jerry

Just hold me a while longer she whispered

I feel safe in your arms

Mary rode alongside Jerry for thousands of miles

They became inseparable

He enjoyed every moment of the long driving days

They kept each other warm on those long cold nights

Mary was curious Why Jerry used a broker

Its a lot of work for me to find jobs he explained

The broker does it all for me

Most independent truckers rely on brokers

Mary asked Jerry for his laptop

I need to fully understand this business she declared

There must be a way to avoid having that broker

He is taking a big commission on every load you haul 

After months of studying Mary announced her idea

We should connect the freight companies to all the drivers

Let the software do the work of the brokers

It will be like Uber for truckers

Great idea said Jerry but how can we make it happen

I know a software developer said Mary

Lets meet with him and pitch our idea

Tell your broker to find a load bound for California

A few weeks later they met Bill in San Fransisco

He liked the idea and ran some numbers

They set up a joint venture 

Raising capital by crowdfunding

Ten years later they were having breakfast in their dream home

Mary spent a few hours a day running their business on line

Jerry now only drove two short trips each day 

Taking their kids to school and back
