Where Traqo Wins
What Traqo does differently from Uber Freight
Software only
Uber Freight's TMS terms also cover its brokerage services. Traqo sells no freight: you run your own carriers, and your rates and data stay yours.
Your carriers bid on WhatsApp
Your own transporters bid in reverse auctions from WhatsApp — no portal, no login — and Traqo customers cut freight cost about 11%.
Yard and 3D load planning
Gate passes, dock scheduling, a live yard map and a 3D load planner run in the same platform as dispatch.
SIM tracking — no hardware
Truck-level tracking through the driver's own SIM, with nothing to install, across your carriers from day one.
Published pricing
Traqo's plans and a pricing calculator are on traqo.ai/pricing. Uber Freight publishes no price for its TMS.
Live in 7 days
Traqo's no-code platform goes live in a week, with the ERP connector, carriers and tracking set up by Traqo.
