The Perfect Alternative for Former Convoy Trucking Company Users

Get The Service You Need at The Level You Deserve and With a Sustainable Road Forward

The logistics and freight industry faced a significant shakeup in 2023 with the closure of Convoy’s trucking software company. This Seattle startup raised over a billion dollars in investments in a challenge to become a leading digital freight carrier network similar to Freightera.

This event rattled the industry profoundly as it left many registered shippers without the useful online tools they were accustomed to. Something that we at Freightera freight marketplace for small businesses, are happy to continue offering. 

The Rise and Fall of Convoy

Since its conception in 2015, Convoy has been a leader in the trucking industry, and for a reason. Its powerful digital platform which, almost as efficiently as Freightera matched shippers with carriers, helped reduce empty miles and made shipping more efficient and sustainable. Despite its promising approach, as Convoy’s journey ended, it left many of its customers unsure of where to turn.

The Engines are Just Getting Warmed Up

At Freightera, we’re not worried about closing our doors. We’ve survived the biggest freight recession in recent years, a pandemic before that, and our numbers have just kept getting better, until we reached profitability in 2023, a huge win for our super-efficient technology startup. We feel optimistic and up to the challenge of filling the void left by Convoy and several other big casualties of the freight and technology recession, YRC Corporation among them.
