# Cargomatic

> Cargomatic is a digital freight marketplace and technology platform that connects shippers with local and regional trucking capacity in real time. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Long Beach, California, it specializes in drayage and short-haul freight - moving containers off ports and onto roads - alongside intermodal, full-truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), and white-glove delivery. By pairing a carrier mobile app with smart routing and bundling software, Cargomatic helps fill empty truck miles, speed cargo off congested docks, and give shippers visibility into shipments that traditionally lived on paper and phone calls.
