Episode 84: How an AI “Buddy” is Helping Truckers Make More and Stress Less with Tapan Chaudhari


Listen Later

Most truckers didn’t sign up for this job to spend hours haggling with brokers or chasing paperwork. They want to drive, make money, and get home, without the constant back-office grind.

That’s where Hey Bubba AI comes in. It’s a multilingual voice assistant that books loads, negotiates rates, and handles the admin work so drivers can focus on what they actually enjoy: driving and earning.

On this episode of ThinkFreight, I sat down with Tapan Chaudhari, the founder of Bubba AI, to dig into how AI is changing the game for owner-operators and small fleets. We talk about why so much trucking tech feels disconnected from drivers, how Bubba is different, and where AI could take the industry over the next five years.

If you’ve been skeptical about AI in trucking, or you’re just curious how tech can make life on the road easier (without replacing drivers), this one’s worth a listen.
