With the nationwide rollout of COOP, more companies and vehicle owners can generate the revenue needed to support vehicle payments or meet financial strains caused by otherwise idle vehicles. Additionally, COOP provides relief to businesses as the industry continues to face ongoing driver and equipment shortages. In addition, COOP is seeing a growing number of companies buy vehicles to rent out to others through the platform as an investment. Due to the fast growth of COOP and high vehicle utilization, these companies are experiencing high returns on their investment. COOP pays on average more than $3,700 in monthly revenue to owners who list their vehicles on the platform. In February, COOP launched a telematics integration enabling select trucks and trailer owners to get paid in real time on the revenue earned by their unit while rented. Reported Earnings • Feb 17
