Freightera users can now get live instant quotes without creating accounts. The new site for the first time offers quotes and bookings on mobile devices. Freightera also opened the first lanes automating refrigerated less than truckload and full truckload freight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur entire team is excited about the new Freightera. Customers can now start the quoting process on the homepage, just like Expedia. Our website became stale over time, as we\u2019ve focused on growing the business first, but we\u2019ve always wanted to offer our customers a more enjoyable experience and improved usability. Earlier this year we partnered with an award-winning design firm and are pleased to share the result of collaboration,\u201d said Eric Beckwitt, Freightera CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 3-year-old startup is moving fast. It has over 10,000 registered business freight shippers and the best lane coverage and rates in Canada and the United States. Over 9 billion automated rate quotes in Freightera\u2019s inventory connect 23,000 communities. Freightera started in Canada and cross-border US-Canada transport and is rapidly expanding in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among other recent achievements, in its Silicon Valley debut, Freightera won placement in Plug and Play Ventures\u2019 Supply Chain and Logistics Accelerator. The program was initiated by Plug and Play at the request of their corporate partners to meet the need for innovation and cost optimization in the sector. Partners and attendees on the finalist selection day included senior executives from Walmart, BASF, Maersk, CMA CGM, Union Pacific, Honeywell, Prologis, USPS, DHL, Deutsche Bahn, DB Schenker, Ericsson, Nestle, Panasonic, Colgate-Palmolive, Deutsche Bank, Munich Re, Sony, PSA International, IBM, PepsiCo, Goodyear, Sherwin-Williams, and Daimler.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freightera\u2019s goal is to create a single, unified global marketplace for freight, reducing shipping costs while at the same time significantly decreasing air pollution through optimization and new technologies. This redesign will help Freightera to open container shipping and other modes of transport in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>About Freightera<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freightera is creating a unified global marketplace for freight transportation.
