FAQs
What is freight shipping?
Freight shipping is the transportation of goods, commodities and cargo in bulk by ship, aircraft, truck or intermodal via train and road. It can be transported domestically or internationally by land, air or sea. This mode of transportation is commonly used for moving large or heavy items that are not suitable for parcel shipping or regular mail services.
Uber Freight Shipping supports domestic freight shipping services for FTL (dry van, flatbed, refrigerated) and LTL.
What is a digital freight brokerage?
A digital freight brokerage is an online marketplace that allows shipping companies and truck drivers to connect via the use of a digital app. Whereas traditional freight brokerages are carried out by phone or fax, often taking days or even weeks to organize, digital freight brokerages can connect shippers and carriers directly, often removing the need for a middleman and streamlining the whole process.
