A free parking-and-scales map became a million-driver network, then a subscription, fleet software and freight marketplace. The clever part is also the fragile part: every useful check-in depends on truckers continuing to trust the route - and one another.
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.
