Shipping infrastructure for operators who refuse to settle
FreightCake is a modern freight shipping platform that lets businesses quote, book, and track parcel and LTL shipments across major US carriers through a web app or API.
The short version
We started FreightCake because we watched logistics teams waste hours every day — logging into five different carrier portals, copying rates into spreadsheets, manually generating BOLs, and then losing visibility the moment a shipment left the dock.
Every other TMS on the market was either built 15 years ago and shows it, or built for enterprise procurement teams with 12-month implementation timelines. Nobody was building for the operators who actually ship things.
So we did. FreightCake is a modern, AI-native shipping platform that gives operators access to FreightCake rates and connected carrier accounts for LTL and parcel, plus truckload quotes by request. Real-time rate shopping, automated freight classification, and a natural language AI agent support eligible platform workflows. No implementation consultants. No six-figure contracts. Just sign up and start shipping.
Mission
Make shipping fast, transparent, and accessible to every operator.
We believe small and mid-market shippers deserve the same tools, rates, and technology that Fortune 500 companies get. FreightCake levels the playing field.
Vision
A world where nobody dreads shipping day.
Shipping should be as simple as sending an email. We're not there yet — but we're building toward it, one feature at a time.
Values
What we believe
Transparency
No hidden fees, no surprise surcharges, no 50-page contracts. You see what you pay. Period.
Speed
Screens, workflows, and API calls are designed for speed because your time is the most expensive thing in your supply chain.
Operator-first
We don't build for IT committees. We build for the people who actually ship things — the ops managers, the logistics coordinators, the warehouse teams.
Relentlessly better
We ship weekly. We listen to feedback obsessively. The platform you use today will be better next week.
