We’re excited to share that Cargado has been named to the 2026 FreightTech 100 by FreightWaves, recognizing the most innovative companies in freight tech.
The FreightTech 100 celebrates the organizations reshaping the transportation and logistics industry with technology, data, and automation. For us, this recognition reflects how Cargado is accelerating and supporting cross-border growth by combining automation, collaboration, real-time bidding, contracted freight posting, and the only accurate rate intelligence tool for cross-border freight.
What makes this recognition special
Cross-border freight has long faced fragmented processes, limited visibility, and unreliable pricing. Cargado was built exclusively to solve those challenges for brokers and carriers moving goods between Mexico, the U.S., and Canada.
Unlike traditional load boards that only facilitate one-off transactions, Cargado enables brokers to build true partnerships with vetted carriers through spot and contracted freight posting. Our invite-only network ensures trust and quality, while our instant bid-and-match functionality replaces the endless phone calls and emails that slow down cross-border shipping.
In the past year, we’ve reached some exciting milestones:
-
Expanded to Canada, connecting freight across all three countries in North America.
-
Launched the industry’s first cross-border rate intelligence tool, built on more than 40,000 verified real-time bids across 2,000+ lanes.
-
Introduced direct TMS integrations, enabling systems like Turvo to sync automatically with Cargado.
-
Grew our network to include 1,000+ vetted carriers with 400,000+ trucks, giving brokers unmatched access to trusted capacity.
-
Expanded our broker base by nearly 900% year-over-year, with more than half of the top 100 brokerages now using Cargado.
These innovations and this scale are helping brokers price freight confidently, secure reliable partners, and eliminate decades of inefficiency in cross-border logistics.
What’s next: The FreightTech 25
The FreightTech 100 will soon be narrowed down to the FreightTech 25, chosen by a panel of more than 80 industry executives, investors, and academics. The results will be announced at F3: Future of Freight Festival in Chattanooga on October 21–22, 2025.
We’re proud to be part of this year’s list and excited to join the conversation at F3 alongside the companies and people pushing our industry forward. If you’re going and want to meet with Cargado, send our team a note on LinkedIn or at contact@cargado.com.
Thank you
This recognition wouldn’t be possible without our customers and carrier partners who believe in Cargado’s mission and use Cargado every day. Together, we’re changing how cross-border freight is priced, secured, and moved in North America.
Here’s to building a future of cross-border freight that is faster, smarter, and more connected than ever.
