Flock Freight operates in the freight shipping industry with a patented platform called FlockDirect®. This platform eliminates the need for terminals, which are typically used as transfer points in shipping, leading to faster delivery times and reduced damage to goods. By combining multiple shipments into a shared truckload, Flock Freight makes the shipping process more efficient for shippers and more profitable for carriers. This model is especially advantageous for businesses with weight constraints, allowing them to save significantly on delivery costs. Flock Freight serves a diverse clientele, from small businesses to large corporations, and generates revenue by charging for its freight shipping services. The company's goal is to provide a more efficient and cost-effective shipping solution while maintaining competitive pricing.
