eFREIGHT International

What eFREIGHT International does

eFREIGHT International LLC is a US-based freight brokerage that operates a 100% web-based platform connecting shippers with leading North American LTL, FTL, small package, courier, intermodal, and special-project carriers. Customers access the service through any standard web browser with no software installation, comparing real-time quotes from carriers such as Old Dominion, Roadway, Pitt Ohio, Saia, Yellow Transportation, and FedEx National LTL on a single screen, then preparing shipping documents and tracking shipments through an integrated transportation management system.

The platform's core technology is a browser-based TMS that supports multi-user account management, a centralized online address book, real-time shipment tracking, and a Development API for system integration. Functional tools include a Quick Track shipment tracker, U.S. zip code, airport, and area code lookups, and a conversion calculator. Security is provided via 128-bit SSL encryption.

eFREIGHT's business model is freemium: the platform is free to access with no subscription or usage fees, and revenue is generated from transaction fees and rate markups embedded in carrier quotes, with the company acting as a freight broker rather than a carrier. Customer support is provided by phone, email, fax, and live chat during extended business hours. The target market is horizontal, focused on SMB and mid-market businesses with freight shipping needs across North America, with no named enterprise customers disclosed.

Direct peers

• RXO: Tech-enabled freight brokerage spun out of XPO Logistics, providing truck brokerage, last-mile, and managed transportation with a digital platform. Comparable to eFREIGHT as an asset-light broker with a self-serve digital experience for shippers.
• Coyote Logistics: One of the largest US third-party freight brokers, offering truckload, LTL, and intermodal services with a digital platform for shippers. Directly comparable to eFREIGHT as a multi-modal, asset-light freight broker serving shippers across North America.
• Freightview: Multi-carrier LTL and truckload rate-shopping and shipment management platform serving SMB and mid-market shippers. Closely comparable to eFREIGHT's free, web-based instant quoting and tracking experience.
• Echo Global Logistics: Non-asset-based third-party logistics provider offering truckload, LTL, intermodal, and managed transportation via a proprietary technology platform. Directly comparable as a tech-forward freight broker with multi-modal coverage.
• FreightPop: Cloud-based TMS and multi-carrier shipping platform providing LTL, FTL, parcel, and international rate comparison and booking. Comparable to eFREIGHT as a web-based, multi-modal rate-shopping and shipping platform.
• Uber Freight: Digital freight marketplace and brokerage for full truckload, intermodal, and managed transportation, with a self-serve app and TMS integrations. Comparable as a tech-first, asset-light shipper platform competing for the same digital shipper segment.
• Worldwide Express: Non-asset logistics provider specializing in LTL, truckload, and parcel services with a digital shipping platform serving SMB and mid-market shippers. Closely comparable to eFREIGHT's horizontal, multi-carrier SMB focus.

Broad incumbents

• C.H. Robinson: Largest US third-party logistics provider offering truckload, LTL, intermodal, and global forwarding via Navisphere. Comparable as a multi-mode, asset-light broker but operates at vastly greater scale and breadth than eFREIGHT.

Emerging players

• Freightos: Digital freight marketplace and booking platform for international and domestic shipping, including the WebCargo air cargo e-booking platform. Comparable as a digital freight booking platform; eFREIGHT's original short description references paperless air cargo, suggesting historical alignment with this category.
• Flexport: Digital freight forwarder offering ocean, air, truck, and customs services through a unified platform. Comparable in the digital-first shipper experience and platform consolidation thesis, though primarily focused on international forwarding where eFREIGHT does not operate.
