Uber Freight US LLC

Uber Freight US LLC, commonly known as Uber Freight, is a logistics technology company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 2017 as an autonomous business division, it operates as a subsidiary of Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER). While Uber Technologies is the majority owner, Uber Freight has also received strategic minority investments from institutional investors like Greenbriar Equity Group, which valued the unit at $3.3 billion post-money in 2020. The company has an employee count estimated to be between 5,000 and 10,000. Uber Freight manages billions of dollars of freight annually, with gross bookings reaching $1.27 billion in Q4 2024 and annual revenue of $5.10 billion in fiscal year 2025.

Uber Freight provides a digital freight brokerage and logistics platform that connects shippers with carriers (truck drivers) to manage and track shipments in real time. Its offerings include a suite of logistics applications and managed services across various transportation modes such as truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL), intermodal, and cross-border logistics. The company leverages AI-based intelligence and advanced technology to offer end-to-end supply chain solutions, capable of functioning as a 3PL, 4PL, or 5PL provider. A significant expansion occurred in 2021 with the acquisition of Transplace for approximately $2.25 billion, which broadened its managed transportation and logistics network capabilities.

In terms of patent litigation, Uber Freight US LLC exhibits the posture of an operating company defending against intellectual property claims. The company has been involved in one tracked case, appearing solely as a defendant and never as a plaintiff. This single case, Carma Technology Corp. et al. v. Uber Technologies Inc. et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue frequently utilized by non-practicing entities (NPEs) for patent assertion suits.
