Flock Freight is a FreightTech company that uses patented technology to move freight more efficiently, reliably, and sustainably. The company’s guaranteed terminal-free truckload service, FlockDirect, finds the best options to pool freight among billions of possible combinations, optimizing routes while finding and filling trucks’ empty spaces. Shipments stay safe in a single truck, driven by a single driver, all the way to their destination allowing shippers to only pay for the space they need and enabling carriers to earn more from every linear foot of capacity — all while slashing carbon emissions by up to 40% compared to traditional shipping methods.

Flock Freight has been a Certified B Corp since 2020, meeting high social, environmental, transparency, and accountability standards to all of our stakeholders.
