About
Uber Freight is a full-scale intelligent logistics platform designed for enterprise shippers across North America and global markets. It unifies managed transportation services, multimodal capacity programs, and a proprietary Transportation Management System (TMS) into a single operating model that aligns procurement, daily execution, and freight settlement. Powered by data from thousands of shipper networks and 18 million annual shipments, the platform surfaces predictive signals that allow logistics teams to act proactively rather than reactively. Key capabilities include managed services that coordinate carrier accountability and financial outcomes, multi-modal solutions that replace ad-hoc spot moves with governed capacity programs, and a TMS that draws on decades of accumulated freight activity to inform routing and capacity decisions. Uber Freight also offers direct integrations and APIs for connecting existing enterprise systems, freight brokerage, and real-time market intelligence. The platform serves critical industries including automotive, chemical, food and beverage, construction, CPG, manufacturing, packaging, and retail. Customers average 8.5 years of tenure with a 98% retention rate, and the platform delivers an average of $1B in annual savings across its customer base. Uber Freight is purpose-built for large enterprises and complex supply chains requiring reliable, data-driven logistics management at scale.
