Uber has launched a digital platform for shippers that will enable them to obtain instant pricing, tender a truck load, manage documents and track their shipments.
The new platform, integrated into the company’s existing Uber Freight app, which launched last year, is designed for shippers of all sizes, giving them access to the company’s vast carrier network.

“The platform was built in close collaboration with shippers to help transform a process that would typically take them hours to complete and often leave them in the dark on market prices and whether they were getting the right carrier,” the company said in an announcement.
“When we launched Uber Freight last year, our goal was to revitalise an industry and help freight move seamlessly and effortlessly around the country.”
Features of the new platform include the ability to tender a load in seconds, see instant market pricing, access Uber Freight’s network of carriers and drivers, track freight in real-time, and streamline document management.
The shipper platform is currently only available as a desktop app.
