Truckers Network: A hiring and management platform.
A platform that helps connect companies with professional truck drivers.
This product includes a mobile application for Android and IOS, an Employers’ web platform and an admin’s Dashboard. Available on the App Store and Google Play, Truckers’ Network aims to help professional and newly-graduated US truck drivers to find their perfect job. I started working on this project in mid-2019, and it’s been a long journey ever since.
After many user interviews, wireframes and prototypes, and keeping in mind that the user-base I faced while working
with this product was more diverse than anything else I had worked on before. me and an amazing team of developers, managers and stakeholders managed to come up with a product that is excelling every user and market test. This project has helped me face and solve many design-related problems and challenges, which have eventually helped me become more proficient in the way I approach design.
One of the biggest issues that needed to be solved from a design point of view was function over form.
Seeing that my previous work had focused on a younger demographic, working with diverse truck drivers brought on a new perspective for me. I had to learn how to adjust my design aesthetics in a way that matches what users were looking for in this platform: usability and practicality.

The way I did that was by sitting down and re-learning everything I thought I knew about design. I went back to the basics of design and turned to minimalism to provide only the essentials of design - a clean and organized UI , timeless shapes and colors and a very basic structure which I believe helped the product be perceived as simple, elegant and what’s most important in this case: easy to use.
