LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Uber Freight’s drop-and-hook program, Powerloop, now has national service possibilities.
At the Mid-America Trucking Show, the logistics technology platform announced its scalable reach, following a previous one addition of 17 states to the network last September.
“Powerloop has seen explosive growth, with more than 10,000 companies serving more than 220,000 loads to date,” Uber Freight said in a press release. “In 2023 alone, the capacity program saw a 30% increase in cargo volume.”
By focusing on relationships and growing with them, Uber Freight has strengthened its lane density and facilitated balanced demand between locations, VP of Operations Alyssa Correale told Trucking Dive.
Powerloop’s densest markets cover key areas across the U.S., but the program can operate dedicated fleets in any state and is expanding monthly, according to the company.
“Our growth has been made possible by consistent execution that has led our strongest partners to expand with us in their network,” he said.
The Powerloop program started on 2018 in Texas and has grown over time. It has listed Anheuser-Busch as a client and Covenant Logistics and Total Transportation of Mississippi as carriers.
“As an Uber Freight carrier, our drivers deliver loads on a consistent basis for household names,” Reginald Alexander, director of operations for Dallas-based Skyward Transportation, said in the press release.
As part of its offerings, the company has leveraged technology to help fleets reduce dead-end miles: In 2019, Uber Freight introduced packages to book loads and reload together; reducing empty miles more than 30%, according to the company.
Our truck leasing program is made possible through Uber Freight’s equipment pool, which includes over 1,000 technology-equipped trailers. The equipment features GPS, load and door sensors and 24/7 surveillance cameras, providing real-time monitoring and protection against cargo theft, the company says.
