# FreightSaver

> FreightSaver is a Huntington Beach freight brokerage and managed-transportation company that gives small and midsize shippers one place to quote, book, document and track truckload, less-than-truckload, expedited and specialized moves. Founders Ryan Renne and Buster Schwab paired dedicated account teams with a practical customer portal, reached No. 110 on the 2018 Inc. 5000 and sold the company to Echo Global Logistics in August 2025 for an undisclosed price. The bet now is that FreightSaver can keep its responsive, founder-built service model while gaining Echo's carrier reach, technology and multimodal scale.
