Technology

The problem we are solving is extremely hard! No one ever solves it before. Zerobroker is the first company in the world that challenges the status quo of the old freight transportation industry and makes it broker-free.

We do it by providing real-time upfront pricing, automating payments, insurances, capacity vetting, matching, and everything else that companies need to move their loads securely and without paying brokerage commissions.

We also empower small and mid-sized trucking companies to act as full-scale logistics companies without hiring a single employee.

When we succeed 7.6 billion people in the world will buy products cheaper!
