Truck Lagbe

Truck Lagbe (Bengali: ট্রাক লাগবে, meaning "Need a Truck") is Bangladesh's leading digital trucking platform, founded in July 2017 by Anayet Rashid (CEO) and Mir Hossain Ekram. The platform connects businesses and individuals with truck owners across Bangladesh through a mobile app, digitizing the country's fragmented truck rental market. Truck Lagbe is backed by IFC (World Bank Group) and Startup Bangladesh Limited.

🚀 Founding Story

Truck Lagbe was founded in July 2017 by Anayet Rashid and Mir Hossain Ekram. Initially, customers booked trucks through a call center. The company won the "Best Logistics Startup" award and gradually transitioned to an app-based platform. The founders recognized that Bangladesh's trucking industry was highly fragmented — businesses struggled to find reliable trucks, and truck owners had inconsistent demand. Truck Lagbe built a technology platform to bridge this gap.
