Flock Freight is a sustainability-focused technology company reinventing North America’s $2 trillion freight market from offices in Encinitas, California and Chicago, Illinois.
We’re the first firm in the industry to build algorithms that pool shipments at scale, deliver freight with carbon neutral shared truckload service, and earn a B Corporation certification.
