What We Do

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.

From an industrywide perspective, our goal is to eliminate freight waste and inefficiency. From a companywide perspective, our goal is to create a positive impact on our people and planet.

Our shared truckload solution, FlockDirect, drives these goals forward by setting a new standard of service for shippers, increasing revenue for carriers, and reducing the environmental impact of freight shipping. Our internal Impact teams drive these goals forward by holding us accountable and measuring our progress in areas like:
— Philanthropy
— Community engagement
— Employee engagement
— Diversity and inclusion

Backing from investors like SoftBank, Volvo Group Venture Capital, Susquehanna, Eden Capital, SignalFire, GV (formerly Google Ventures), and GLP Capital Partners tells us these goals are worthwhile.

It’s not just our investors who see the Flock Freight vision; in 2022, we earned a spot on the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list. In 2021, CNBC named us to their Disruptor 50 list and Fast Company named shared truckload to their World Changing Ideas list. Our team is working to change the world for the better, and these awards tell us we’re on the right track.
