Launched in 2017, we learned that telematics data was the missing link in freight transportation. Our goal quickly became to embed our marketplace across ELDs to leverage the data from carrier preferences to send them the perfect shipment at the perfect time without the need to manually spend hours searching through multiple load boards and negotiating terms.
Freight transportation accounts for nearly $800 billion annually in the U.S. alone, but at its core, operations are incredibly fragmented. Not only does lack of data become a burden on drivers and carriers, it has a downstream effect on our environment... as in 35% of trucks are traveling empty in the U.S.
So, we wanted to do something about it. Our goal quickly became to create an ELD-friendly marketplace that easily aggregates data and makes selecting and managing freight simple and sustainable.We send carriers the right shipment at the right time, improving truck routing and significantly reducing empty truck miles.Fast-forward to today, and FleetOps is North America's fastest growing capacity aggregation and freight matching platform, supporting more than 227,000 drivers and thousands of transactions per day.
We’re a 30-person team headquartered in Toronto, spread across North America. We are made up of brokers and logistics professionals, scientists, engineers, software designers, product managers, and innovators.

We empower Carriers with the tools they need to run their businesses better.
We believe that the largest problems in logistics are actually data problems. Specifically, asymmetric access to data. Neither side of any transaction has the full set of data required to make a decision. Drivers don’t know the opportunity cost of taking a shipment, or what rate a broker might give them.
This problem can now be solved because via the ELD mandate every driver and their data has been connected to the internet.
By combining the power of The FleetOps Network with best-in-class software, we empower our Carriers and OEM partners with the tools they need to earn more money and spend less time managing their businesses.
We are a transparent organization that is committed to authenticity and meritocracy.
