About Uber Freight
Launched in 2017, Uber Freight is essentially “Uber for trucking,” and is a digital freight brokerage service that offers data tools to carriers and shippers. Its app matches truck drivers with cargo that needs shipping. It also claims to help shippers tender loads faster and says it can tender loads from start to finish. Using the technology platform (via Uber Freight app or website), shippers can input load details into the system. Truck drivers or dispatchers provide market prices and agree to the terms, and within minutes, they can make a match.
