“We attribute our stellar growth to a great product-market fit that we’ve found serving our customers. Our shippers love the combination of best prices, best inventory and excellent customer service we offer and routinely save over 50% on the transportation cost using Freightera,” says Eric Beckwitt, Freightera CEO. “We are happy to make the very top of the BIV Fastest-Growing Companies list. It’s a big recognition and a huge honor for everyone in our enthusiastic team.”
“2019 looks like another tremendous year for us,” Eric Beckwitt continues. “We’ve already added to our marketplace a vast inventory of rail rates from North America’s largest railroads, many new LTL carriers, and refrigerated LTL rates. We’ve released a freight booking app for iOS, AI-powered pricing intelligence and are on target to more than double our revenue year over year. This fall, we’ll be opening new services and rolling out a SaaS model with memberships and discount plans for active users. Stay tuned.”
