We are providing a complete “business in a box” solution for owner-operators and small trucking carriers at a much lower cost using software engineering, data science and world class operations processes.

We focus on the owner-operator and small trucking companies because they are the lifeblood of the industry and facing the largest pressures with fast rising insurance rates, predatory factoring options and a quickly changing landscape. It’s more important than ever to have someone in their corner whose incentives are 100% aligned with theirs.

REGENT is building the seaglider: the first electric flying machine that will transport commercial passengers.

Airlines and ferry companies are getting in line to buy seagliders because they're half as expensive as short-haul aircraft, and six times faster than ferries.
