What FreightPros does
FreightPros, now operating as Nolan Transportation Group (NTG), is a US-based freight brokerage and third-party logistics (3PL) provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company operates as a subsidiary of Transportation Insight Holding Company (TI Holding Company), which ranks among North America's top 10 largest logistics companies and combines NTG with sister company Transportation Insight (TI) to serve more than 14,000 shippers across a carrier network exceeding 80,000. NTG targets primarily small and medium-sized shippers that lack the volume to negotiate directly with carriers, supplemented by a custom-solutions offering for larger customers.
The company's core service portfolio spans LTL freight shipping, full truckload, expedited freight, temperature-controlled freight, intermodal rail shipping, custom freight solutions (custom tariffs, FAKs, freight spend analysis, shopping cart integration), and inbound vendor management. The technology backbone is a cloud-based Transportation Management System (TMS) that delivers instant freight quotes from 70+ LTL carriers, generates Bills of Lading, integrates carrier tracking, and provides shipment history lookup. NTG also operates the Beon LTL digital platform — a mode-agnostic single point of access within TI Holding Company's broader Beon portfolio — and a public-facing Freight Density Calculator for quote accuracy. No external API, SDK, or developer-facing integration surface is documented.
NTG's business model is transaction-based: the company pools freight volume from its shipper base to negotiate deep discounts with carriers, advertises savings of up to 85% on LTL, and retains a brokerage spread on each shipment. Additional revenue is generated through professional services such as freight spend analysis, custom pricing, and e-commerce shopping-cart integration. Go-to-market combines a self-serve online quoting platform for SMBs and individual shippers with a dedicated account-management and solutions team for enterprise customers, supported by content marketing (blog, white papers, state-level SEO pages, eBook) as the primary top-of-funnel acquisition channel.
