Convoy Go is a new drop-and-hook marketplace that lets any U.S. trucking company or owner-operator haul pre-loaded trailers.
Load-matching technology provider Convoy said it has reached a major milestone: The company reports that its freight marketplace is automatically matching — without human intervention — 100% of loads to trucks in top markets.
Three years ago, the company Convoy was founded with the goal of using technology to provide an Uber-like service for booking on-demand freight shipments. Investors like Jeff Bezos and Waymo-parent Alphabet have invested in the company, which recently surpassed $1 billion in valuation. HDT's Deborah Lockridge checked in to see what the company is working on now.
The Convoy freight matching service is offering to pay for extended delays that are out of a driver’s control with a new Automated Detention feature.
Anheuser-Busch has signed a multi-year partnership agreement with the Convoy freight matching network, a move some observers say gives Convoy a leg up in the race to see who will win in the "Uber for Trucking" space.
Uber-for-trucking startup Convoy has struck a multi-year deal with consumer goods giant Unilever to move the company's goods through its online freight-matching service.
