Customer Testimonials Highlight Platform’s Impact

"Since the pandemic, the market has been really challenging to navigate,” said Brian Lee, Head of Supply Chain at Hart Print. “Before Uber Freight, we were managing multiple platforms and manually booking shipments, which made it almost impossible to predict our costs. This put a lot of strain on our budget and resources. We needed a way to better manage our shipping needs so we could keep pace with customer demands and focus on growth.”

A Commitment to Leading Logistics Innovation

Uber Freight Shipping is the latest innovation from Uber Freight, following the successful launches of Uber Freight Exchange: Contract and Uber Freight Exchange: Spot. These advancements reflect Uber Freight’s ongoing commitment to leading the logistics industry by providing seamless and efficient procurement experiences for businesses of all sizes.
