About Freighthub NZ: We help businesses send their freight to customers more efficiently. We match the freight with spare capacity on trucks, which: Reduces the cost of sending freight Increases profitability for transport companies Helps the environment by reducing the number of trucks running empty How it works: Usually customers have a relationship with one or a perhaps, a few carriers. This means businesses are restricted by what the carriers they have relationships with, are able to offer. Most freight providers don’t have the capabilities to optimize for spare truck capacity. Many of our carriers now use Freighthub to move small loads so that they can always so yes to their customers. When the carrier can't fulfill their customers needs profitably freighthub allows the carriers to have freight movement flexibility, whilst maintaining their relationships with their valued customers. Freighthub has a relationship with New Zealand's many and varied carriers, from Mum and Dad with 5 trucks to the big players. We’re able to track truck capacity at any point in time. This means that we can find the carriers that have spare capacity that can accommodate our customers freight requirements. When a customer places a booking, we find a suitable carrier that has spare capacity. If we’re unable to book a backload carrier, we book standard freight. Our pricing is based on the probability of being able to find a carrier backload within the specified delivery time. We’re also well aware of some of the other frustrations for businesses when it comes to managing their freight. So in addition to optimizing pricing, we’re building technology to help solve other problems too, such as reliability, damage claims and freight tracking. As our customers say, signing on with Freighthub is really a no-brainer. In fact "its bloody awesome"​.
