Flock Freight

Technology platform for terminal-free freight shipping

About Flock Freight

Flock Freight operates in the freight shipping industry with a focus on improving the shipping process through its patented platform called FlockDirect®. This platform eliminates the need for terminals, which are typically used as transfer points in shipping, leading to faster delivery times and reduced damage to goods. By combining multiple shipments into a shared truckload, Flock Freight enhances efficiency for shippers and increases profitability for carriers. This model is especially advantageous for businesses with weight constraints, as demonstrated by clients like Waiākea Water, who have seen delivery costs drop by up to 50%. Flock Freight charges clients for its shipping services, leveraging the cost savings from its terminal-free approach to offer competitive pricing while ensuring profitability. The company's goal is to streamline freight shipping, making it more efficient and cost-effective for a wide range of businesses.
