Uber Freight Drives Significant Growth in Canada with Innovative LTL Solutions

Uber Freight, the leading end-to-end enterprise suite powering intelligent logistics, today announced growth in the Canadian market, propelled by its innovative collaborative shipping model. Since 2021, Uber Freight’s engineered Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) network has expanded by 50%, contributing significantly to the company’s overall Canadian market growth. This translates to approximately $800M (CAD) in total freight under management (FUM).

Uber Freight’s multi-stop LTL network moves more than 10,000 pallets out of the Greater Toronto Area per week, with over 4,500 pallets transported southbound into the United States. By combining shipments from multiple shippers into optimized, multi-stop routes, Uber Freight reduces unnecessary stops and improves overall shipment performance.

Enhancing Cost-Efficiency and Reliability

Traditional LTL shipping often faces challenges such as rate increases and added terminal stops for load sorting and consolidation, impacting on-time performance and cost-effectiveness. Uber Freight’s approach eliminates these extra steps by leveraging its scale and marketplace technology to consolidate shipments based on load size, type, and destination. This streamlines pickup and drop-off processes, resulting in a 95-97% on-time performance (OTP) and saving shippers an average of 10-20% compared to traditional LTL methods.

Real-World Impact

Shippers can manage their LTL loads directly within the Uber Freight Transportation Management System (TMS) for best-in-class freight planning, visibility, and execution, and have access to an expansive pool of domestic and cross-border carriers. Furthermore, Uber Freight’s carrier network supports a variety of goods, including food-grade, chilled, ambient, and frozen LTL shipments.

Uber Freight carriers benefit from an optimal combination of shipments, advanced routing technology, and demand from Uber Freight’s extensive network of shippers. This ensures seamless coordination of backhaul loads, maximizing revenue in both directions.

Pioneering a New Standard in Logistics

Uber Freight is setting a new benchmark in supply chain technology and service, leveraging innovative logistics tools and domain expertise to meet the evolving needs of shippers and carriers. Today, major Canadian-based companies like Bimbo Bakehouse, Dr. Oetker, and Furlani Foods depend on Uber Freight’s collaborative shipping model to move goods across Canada and the United States. With more than $18 billion in global FUM, Uber Freight continues to expand its footprint across North America, committed to delivering industry-leading solutions to shippers and carriers of all sizes.
