Truck Lagbe

About Truck Lagbe

Truck Lagbe is an online platform that connects truck owners and drivers with businesses that need goods transported across Bangladesh, built to fix a pricing and availability problem its founder ran into directly rather than one he studied from the outside. Anayet Rashid co-founded the company in 2016 alongside his childhood friend Mir Hossain Ekram, growing it into one of the country's most established digital logistics marketplaces.

The idea for the company didn't come from a market study. It came from a frustration Anayet Rashid ran into while running his own business.

A Problem Found Inside His Own Supply Chain

Before founding Truck Lagbe, Anayet Rashid was managing distribution costs for an existing FMCG business. While reviewing transportation fees, he noticed wide, unexplained discrepancies in what different carriers charged for shipments to the exact same destination.

That inefficiency wasn't an abstract industry statistic to him. It was a cost he was paying directly, and it pointed to a market with no reliable way to compare pricing or availability across truck operators.

Most FMCG distribution managers in his position would have treated those pricing discrepancies as an unavoidable cost of doing business in Bangladesh. Anayet Rashid instead treated it as a solvable infrastructure problem, one that pointed toward an entire missing marketplace layer rather than a negotiating issue specific to his own company.

Building the Company With a Childhood Friend

Anayet Rashid co-founded Truck Lagbe alongside his childhood friend Mir Hossain Ekram, who became the company's co-founder. The two had a habit of discussing new business ideas together, and the transportation pricing problem Anayet Rashid kept running into became the one they decided to act on.

Truck Lagbe launched with a straightforward premise: give shippers a digital way to find and book trucks, and give truck owners and drivers a more predictable, transparent way to fill their loads, rather than relying on informal phone-based booking networks.

Growing Bangladesh's Trucking Marketplace

Under Anayet Rashid's leadership, Truck Lagbe has grown to more than 80,000 registered trucks and roughly 200,000 registered customers across Bangladesh. That scale has made it one of the country's most established digital logistics marketplaces, built almost entirely around solving the pricing and availability problem Anayet Rashid first noticed in his own supply chain.

The company has raised $5 million in funding from investors including IFC, IDLC Finance, and PSA International, capital that has gone toward expanding the platform's reach and building out services around the core trucking marketplace.

An Ecosystem, Not Just a Booking App

Anayet Rashid has described his ambition for Truck Lagbe as building a full ecosystem for trucking, one where every service connected to moving freight, not just booking a truck, sits under a single platform. That vision extends the company's role beyond a simple marketplace into infrastructure meant to benefit owners, drivers, brokers, and shippers alike.

That broader ambition has shaped how the company has grown since its early years, expanding gradually from a pure booking platform into a wider set of trucking-adjacent services, rather than staying narrowly focused on matching shippers with available trucks alone.

Where Truck Lagbe Stands Today

Nearly a decade after its 2016 founding, Truck Lagbe remains one of Bangladesh's clearest examples of a digital marketplace built around a specific, founder-identified inefficiency rather than an imported logistics template. Anayet Rashid remains focused on scaling that ecosystem, treating the platform's growth as tied to how many parts of Bangladesh's trucking industry it can meaningfully improve, rather than transaction volume alone.

Employee reviews point to a collaborative work environment alongside room for improvement in compensation, a combination common to fast-growing logistics platforms balancing institutional investor expectations with day-to-day operating costs.

Products

Truck Lagbe's platform centers on trucking marketplace infrastructure rather than a single packaged product.

Truck Booking Marketplace lets shippers find and book trucks digitally, replacing informal phone-based freight arrangements with transparent pricing and availability.

Carrier Network connects truck owners and drivers to shippers, giving them a more predictable way to fill loads and get paid.

Trucking Ecosystem Services extend the platform beyond booking alone, reflecting Anayet Rashid's stated ambition to support every part of the trucking value chain under one platform.

Across booking, carrier network management, and its broader ecosystem ambitions, Truck Lagbe's platform reflects the same problem-first approach that built the company since 2016, now serving more than 80,000 registered trucks and roughly 200,000 registered customers across Bangladesh.
