European Alternatives to Uber Freight
Looking for a European alternative to Uber Freight? The Uber Freight terms of use name Uber Freight Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries, state that the terms are governed by the laws of Delaware and send disputes to arbitration administered by JAMS in Chicago, San Francisco or another location Uber Freight chooses. Uber Freight describes itself as a licensed freight broker and not a motor carrier, and its homepage describes a North American network.
The European freight marketplaces below name contracting entities in Poland, Germany, Romania, the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium, France and Luxembourg, and cover exchanges, forwarders and price comparison for road freight.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects which tools are listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways
- Uber Freight is a licensed freight broker run by Uber Freight Holding Corporation of San Francisco, and its terms of use are governed by Delaware law with JAMS arbitration.
- Uber Freight describes its homepage network as North American, so European lane coverage has to be confirmed with a sales contact.
- Trans.eu, TIMOCOM, Wtransnet, Teleroute, Cargopedia and Haulage Exchange are exchanges where carriers and shippers contract with each other, not brokers.
- sennder, Chronotruck and Pamyra come closest to the brokerage model, because a forwarder or comparison service stands between the sender and the carrier.
- cargo.one is the only tool on this page for air and ocean freight, and it does not cover road transport.
Why people leave Uber Freight
Uber Freight is the freight business of a San Francisco company, Uber Freight Holding Corporation, and it sells three things that are easy to mix up: freight brokerage, managed transportation and a transportation management system. Its homepage describes one of North America's largest managed transportation and multimodal capacity networks. Uber Freight also states that it is a licensed freight broker and not a motor carrier.
The contract side is American throughout. The terms of use say they are governed by the laws of Delaware, and disputes go to arbitration administered by JAMS in Chicago, in San Francisco or in another place Uber Freight chooses. Those terms were last modified on 3 January 2023. The privacy notice, updated on 1 October 2026, applies to carriers, carrier drivers, shippers and dispatchers worldwide.
A European shipper or haulier who looks elsewhere is rarely reacting to a scandal. The usual trigger is smaller: the network is described as North American, no European entity or hosting statement appeared on the pages we read, and dispatch data on lanes, rates and drivers sits with a US contracting party. This page asks what a European company would replace, and what it would not.
- The network is described as North American Uber Freight's homepage puts its network in North America and lists industries such as automotive, chemicals, food and beverage and retail. A Polish carrier looking for return loads from Hamburg, or a Spanish forwarder covering Iberia, is not the customer that description addresses. The European exchanges on this page were built around European lanes, languages and border-crossing paperwork, which is the practical reason most hauliers switch.
- American law governs the contract The Uber Freight terms of use apply the law of Delaware and route disputes to JAMS arbitration in Chicago or San Francisco, unless Uber Freight names another location. For a small European haulier that makes a payment dispute slow and expensive to pursue. Cargopedia names Romanian and EU law, Trans.eu a Polish register entry, Pamyra a German commercial register, and Chronotruck French law with the Paris Commercial Court.
- Driver and lane data go to a US controller The Uber Freight privacy notice covers carriers, carrier drivers, shippers and dispatchers, and it applies globally. Position data, rates and customer lanes are commercially sensitive, and under that notice they sit with a US group. No European entity or hosting region appeared on the pages we read. Upply is the one European tool here that names its host: Microsoft Azure in Dublin, according to its legal notice.
- The product mix does not match what hauliers want Uber Freight sells managed transportation and a TMS to shippers, with a carrier side called Haul with us. A haulier who only wants to post a truck and find a load does not need that stack. Exchanges such as Haulage Exchange, Wtransnet and Cargopedia sell exactly that narrow service, so the price and onboarding are smaller than a brokerage relationship.
What you have to replace, not just match
No European tool replaces Uber Freight in full, because Uber Freight is three different business models in one account. The first is brokerage: Uber Freight takes a shipper's load and finds the truck. The second is managed transportation, where it runs a shipper's whole freight programme. The third is software, a TMS and an APIs layer that connect to a shipper's other systems.
The brokerage part maps to forwarders. sennder works as a digital forwarder with local entities in eight countries, Chronotruck takes pallet freight and picks the road carrier, and Pamyra compares forwarders for smaller shipments. The load-board part maps to exchanges: Trans.eu, TIMOCOM, Wtransnet, Teleroute, Cargopedia and Haulage Exchange all let parties find each other and contract directly, which is a different legal position from Uber Freight acting as the broker in between.
The software part is the weakest match. None of the pages we read for the European tools show a TMS of the kind Uber Freight sells, although Trans.eu, TIMOCOM and Upply list APIs and Eurosender offers an API for quotes. If your dispatchers live inside the Uber Freight TMS, plan a separate TMS decision next to the marketplace one. Managed transportation is the other piece without a counterpart here.

How each alternative compares to Uber Freight
Best for: Carriers, forwarders and manufacturers that want a Polish exchange with separate products per role
Trans.eu Group S.A. runs the exchange from Wroclaw, Poland, entered in the Polish court register under KRS 0000720763. Its homepage speaks to three roles: carriers, forwarders and shippers. CargoON.eu is the part for manufacturers that ship goods, and a Private Freight Exchange is sold as a separate product.
Against Uber Freight the model is different. Trans.eu is an exchange where parties contract with each other, so there is no broker taking the freight. The site publishes price lists per product, and the Private Freight Exchange page states a starting price of 240 EUR net per month. The dated lists had expired by 5 November 2026, so confirm current amounts.
What Trans.eu does better than Uber Freight
- Publishes price lists per product, where Uber Freight quotes shippers through its own channels
- Polish register entry and an ISO 27001 certificate listed, against a Delaware contract
- A Private Freight Exchange is sold as a product of its own, with a stated starting price
- Separate offers for carriers, forwarders and shippers instead of one broker relationship
Where Trans.eu is a step down from Uber Freight
- No managed transportation or TMS on the pages we read
- Hosting location is not stated
- A load exchange does not take over the freight as a broker does
Standout against Uber Freight. Trans.eu is the only exchange on this page that states a starting price for a private freight exchange.
Best for: Shippers and carriers already booking road freight through the TIMOCOM marketplace
TIMOCOM GmbH operates the exchange from Erkrath, with the legal notice naming Dusseldorf as corporate headquarters. The vendor says its Live Shipment Tracking is free within the marketplace. A carrier can feed position from telematics, GPS, the driver app or manual entry, and chooses whether the customer sees the position or only the arrival time.
Compared with Uber Freight, TIMOCOM gives you the visibility without a separate software contract, but only for road orders placed inside its marketplace. An API passes the tracking data into a TMS or ERP. Marketplace fees are not published on the pages we reviewed, so the free tracking sits next to an unknown subscription.
What TIMOCOM does better than Uber Freight
- Tracking is free inside the marketplace, per the vendor, where Uber Freight sells a TMS
- Carriers decide whether the customer sees position or only ETA
- German GmbH with a register number, where Uber Freight's terms are Delaware-governed
- API connection to your own TMS or ERP instead of a second dispatcher screen
Where TIMOCOM is a step down from Uber Freight
- Tracking only works on TIMOCOM transport orders
- Road freight only, with no multimodal capacity
- Marketplace fees and data location are not stated
Standout against Uber Freight. TIMOCOM lets the carrier hide the vehicle position and share only an arrival time.
Best for: Small carriers and occasional shippers who want to test an exchange without paying first
Cargopedia SRL is a Romanian company, registered as J2014010187402, and the terms apply Romanian and European Union law. The homepage claims over 160,000 registered members, while the about page names more than 25,000 active weekly members. Those figures measure different things, and both come from the vendor.
Against Uber Freight the entry cost is close to zero: the free plan lets one user publish and search, and metered extras are priced at 0.05 EUR per SMS alert or calculation after five free calculations. The catch is that the free plan hides other users' contact details. Cargopedia offers no brokerage, TMS or managed transportation on the pages we read.
What Cargopedia does better than Uber Freight
- Free plan with posting and search, where Uber Freight is sold through a sales and onboarding process
- Per-use prices for SMS alerts and calculations are stated up front
- Romanian and EU law in the terms instead of Delaware law and JAMS arbitration
- Country domains in 25 markets and more than 10 languages
Where Cargopedia is a step down from Uber Freight
- Free users cannot see other users' contact details
- Users handle contracts and payments between themselves
- Paid plan prices were not in the text we read
Standout against Uber Freight. Cargopedia is the only exchange here with a plan that costs nothing and still lets you post loads.
Best for: UK hauliers and subcontractors that move loads inside Britain and accept an annual package
Transport Exchange Group Ltd of London, company number 3464353, runs Haulage Exchange and says it launched its digital road freight service in 2000. The site names 10,000+ members, 2.27 million loads posted last year and about 15,000 loads a day, all vendor figures. It offers three tracks: small fleets, large fleets and forwarders.
Compared with Uber Freight, Haulage Exchange is a domestic British tool. It adds driver and fleet apps, a Freight Vision app, telematics and payment tools, but it sells packages for 12 months only, with VAT on top. The United Kingdom is outside the EU and is covered by an adequacy decision, so it is a European option under UK law rather than EU law.
What Haulage Exchange does better than Uber Freight
- Separate packages for small fleets, large fleets and forwarders
- Driver, fleet and Freight Vision apps with telematics in the same product family
- British company with a published number and a London office, not a Delaware holding company
- Activity figures are stated, even if they are vendor claims
Where Haulage Exchange is a step down from Uber Freight
- Cross-border European coverage is less clear than UK coverage
- Twelve-month commitment with no short plan
- Prices and the privacy policy were not read
Standout against Uber Freight. Haulage Exchange is the only tool on this page with a product track for fleets of one to five vehicles.
Best for: Spanish and Portuguese carriers that want a payment guarantee and a mobile app
Alpega Iberia, S.A.U. is named as owner in the Wtransnet privacy policy, with its office in Sant Cugat del Valles near Barcelona. The English homepage is titled as a freight exchange for Spain and Portugal. The imprint lists group companies in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland, so the operator is a multinational group with Iberian roots.
Against Uber Freight the notable feature is the payment guarantee, which is Wtransnet's answer to the risk of an unpaid invoice from a counterparty. There are plans for carriers, for freelancers with one truck and for forwarders, plus matching alerts and a profit simulator. No amounts appeared on the tariff page. The group ownership is not stated.
What Wtransnet does better than Uber Freight
- Payment guarantee protects a carrier against a counterparty that does not pay
- Plan for freelancers with one truck, where Uber Freight's carrier side is a broker agreement
- Spanish operating company with a Barcelona commercial register entry
- Matching alerts and a profit simulator in the carrier plan
Where Wtransnet is a step down from Uber Freight
- Focus on Spain and Portugal limits long-haul coverage
- Same group as Teleroute, so it does not diversify your supplier risk
- No prices and no hosting location in the text we read
Standout against Uber Freight. Wtransnet is the only tool here with a named plan for freelancers who own a single truck.
Best for: Forwarders and carriers that want rated counterparties and help recovering unpaid invoices
Alpega N.V., Excelsiorlaan 8 in Zaventem, Belgium, runs Teleroute under the company number RPR Brussel 0872 586 165, and the interface is offered in English, German, French, Dutch, Italian and Polish. The terms of use state that the site is property of Alpega. The same group also operates Wtransnet.
In place of a broker, Teleroute puts trust tooling around the exchange: customer verification, customer rating, a payment guarantee and a debt mediation service. Forwarders get the T-Interface, and carriers get a mobile app and a profit calculator. Uber Freight handles counterparty risk by being the counterparty. Teleroute asks you to manage it with the ratings.
What Teleroute does better than Uber Freight
- Verification and rating of counterparties are built into the exchange
- Debt mediation exists for invoices that stay unpaid
- Belgian operating company with a published register number
- Six interface languages for a multi-country carrier base
Where Teleroute is a step down from Uber Freight
- No TMS or managed transportation on the pages we read
- No prices shown, only Join Now and login
- Group ownership is not stated
Standout against Uber Freight. Teleroute pairs counterparty ratings with a debt mediation service on the same exchange.
Best for: Mid-size and large shippers and carriers that want a forwarder to handle European road freight
sennder Technologies GmbH is headquartered in Berlin and shows local companies with VAT numbers in Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, France, the Netherlands, Latvia and Romania. Carriers register on the orcas portal, are vetted and receive a rating called sennScore. Separate general terms exist for carriers (version I/2024) and for shippers.
This is the model closest to Uber Freight: sennder contracts with the shipper and issues transport orders to carriers instead of listing loads publicly. Its navigation names Poste Italiane and Scania as partners and lists an AI product line, sennCONTROL. The pages we fetched showed little body text, so prices, register numbers and hosting could not be confirmed.
What sennder does better than Uber Freight
- Brokerage-style handling with local entities in eight European countries
- Carrier vetting and a published rating, sennScore
- German contracting entity with European VAT numbers
- Separate terms for shippers and carriers
Where sennder is a step down from Uber Freight
- Not an open load board, so a small carrier must register and pass vetting
- No TMS on the pages we read, where Uber Freight sells one
- Prices, register numbers and ownership could not be read
Standout against Uber Freight. sennder is the only tool on this page that runs a vetting portal and a carrier rating around a forwarder model.
Best for: Shippers that benchmark transport prices and also want to find or post spot loads
UPPLY SAS is a French simplified joint-stock company with capital of 100 000 euros, registered at the RCS Nanterre under 518 618 608 in Levallois-Perret. The legal notice names Microsoft Azure in Dublin as the host, and the homepage says data is hosted in the EU. That is the most specific hosting statement among the tools here.
Upply starts from market data: a price benchmark, a dashboard, a data hub with 13 indicators and an emissions calculator. The freight management board is one module, and the homepage names 2,000+ connected carriers and shippers, a smaller network than the large exchanges. Uber Freight starts from brokerage. Upply starts from knowing what a lane should cost.
What Upply does better than Uber Freight
- Named EU hosting (Azure, Dublin), where Uber Freight's pages named none
- Price benchmark and market indicators that let a shipper check a quote
- Emissions calculation module and open, documented APIs
- French company with an RCS number and a share capital figure
Where Upply is a step down from Uber Freight
- The freight board is smaller than the dedicated exchanges
- Pages are mostly French, with an English switch
- Sold through a demo request, and no prices are shown
Standout against Uber Freight. Upply is the only tool here that gives a shipper market price data and a freight board in one account.
Best for: Businesses that ship pallets by road and want a quote without calling a forwarder
Chronotruck is based at Tour EMBLEM in Courbevoie and acts as a freight forwarder registered with the DREAL, according to its terms, which were updated on 30 April 2026. French law applies and disputes go to the Paris Commercial Court. It also runs sites for the United Kingdom and Belgium. The pages we read did not show its legal form or register number.
The service mirrors the small-shipment end of Uber Freight's brokerage. A sender enters a pallet shipment (up to 66 pallets, in five formats) in the homepage form, Chronotruck invoices the sender, and the carrier invoices Chronotruck. Customers must be companies, and only road freight in Europe is covered. Prices appear after the quote.
What Chronotruck does better than Uber Freight
- Online quote for pallet freight without a sales call
- French law and the Paris Commercial Court named in the terms
- Carrier invoices Chronotruck, so the sender has one invoice
- Step-by-step tracking and carrier registration through mobile apps
Where Chronotruck is a step down from Uber Freight
- No TMS or managed transportation, which Uber Freight sells
- Legal form and register number were not visible
- Companies and road freight only; the privacy policy dates from 2021
Standout against Uber Freight. Chronotruck quotes up to 66 pallets from a form on its homepage.
Best for: Businesses that book occasional parcels, pallets and freight across Europe
Eurosender SARL, 5 Place de la Gare in Luxembourg (registration B230321), runs a platform with access to more than 100 shipping companies. A shipper enters a route and a load, compares the quotes and books pickup and delivery. The business account adds batch import of up to 100 orders, a wallet, saved addresses and monthly invoicing.
Compared with Uber Freight, Eurosender is a booking tool for varied sizes, from a document to a full or partial truckload, rather than an enterprise brokerage. The site shows prices from EUR 2.99 per shipment and quotes per route. It names no native webshop connectors, so automation may need developer work through the API.
What Eurosender does better than Uber Freight
- Documents, parcels, pallets, vans and truck loads in a single booking account
- Monthly invoicing and batch import for businesses with changing volumes
- Luxembourg company with a published registration number
- Prices from EUR 2.99 are visible before a sales conversation
Where Eurosender is a step down from Uber Freight
- No TMS, managed transportation or contract-lane programme
- Little branded tracking or returns tooling
- Pricing is a quote per route, not a plan table
Standout against Uber Freight. Eurosender mixes parcels and truck loads in one account, which none of the exchanges on this page do.
Best for: Small shippers and private senders in Germany that book single pallets or bulky goods
Pamyra GmbH of Leipzig, entered at Amtsgericht Leipzig under HRB 33959, compares forwarders for pallets, large parcels, furniture, machinery and similar goods. The homepage title states prices from 19,00 EUR and promises binding prices through its calculator. It names 600+ forwarders for pallet shipping, which is a vendor figure.
Pamyra serves the opposite end of the market from Uber Freight, whose homepage addresses large shippers. A plugin can show shipping costs on a third-party website, and forwarders can use Pamyra as a sales channel. The pages are in German only, and forwarder commissions are not shown.
What Pamyra does better than Uber Freight
- Binding price from 19,00 EUR before booking, shown on the homepage
- Choice among many forwarders, not one broker's network
- German GmbH with a commercial register number and VAT ID published
- Plugin that shows shipping costs on your own site
Where Pamyra is a step down from Uber Freight
- German-language pages only
- Small shipments, not full-truckload spot freight
- Forwarder commissions and hosting are not shown
Standout against Uber Freight. Pamyra promises a binding price from its shipping cost calculator before the booking.
Best for: Freight forwarders that buy and quote air and ocean freight in one rate system
Cargo One GmbH of Charlottenstrasse 65 in Berlin, registered at Amtsgericht Berlin (Charlottenburg) under HRB 189201 B, says it has built its infrastructure since 2018. The platform lists e-booking with 75+ airlines and ocean rates from 25+ liners, both vendor figures. Airlines such as Lufthansa Cargo AG appear in its terms as carriers.
This is not a road tool, so it answers only part of what Uber Freight's multimodal claim covers. A forwarder gets a rate management system for buy, sell and internal rates, a customer portal, analytics, and API and TMS integration. A free trial is linked in the navigation, but the pricing page was not read, and shippers booking single loads are not the target.
What cargo.one does better than Uber Freight
- Air booking with 75+ airlines and ocean rates from 25+ liners, per the vendor
- Rate management for buy, sell and internal rates in one place
- German GmbH with HRB number and VAT ID published
- Free trial linked in the navigation
Where cargo.one is a step down from Uber Freight
- No road freight at all
- Aimed at forwarders, not shippers or hauliers
- Pricing page not read and hosting not stated
Standout against Uber Freight. cargo.one is the only tool here that books air cargo with named airlines.
What actually breaks when you switch
The first thing that breaks is the relationship you buy. With Uber Freight, one contract covers rates, carriers and invoicing. With an exchange you take on counterparty checks, rate negotiation and credit risk yourself, with help from ratings, payment guarantees or debt mediation at Teleroute and Wtransnet. Budget dispatcher time for that, not only the subscription.
The second is data. Lane history, rates and carrier records held in the Uber Freight TMS or its integrations will not move into an exchange automatically, so ask Uber Freight for an export before you cancel. The third is contracts: a broker and motor carrier agreement, Quick Pay terms or a managed transportation commitment may carry notice periods. Haulage Exchange adds 12-month terms of its own, so a short trial matters.
Is a freight exchange the same thing as Uber Freight?
No, and the difference decides who carries the risk. On an exchange such as Trans.eu or Teleroute, the shipper and the carrier agree price and terms between themselves, and the platform supplies the listing, verification and sometimes a payment guarantee. Uber Freight sits in the middle as a broker, quotes the shipper and contracts with the carrier.
That means a move to an exchange hands you work Uber Freight used to do: negotiating rates, checking insurance, chasing payment. In return you see the counterparty directly and pay a subscription rather than a margin. If you want to keep the intermediary, look at sennder or Chronotruck instead of an exchange.
Which European freight marketplace works for a small haulier with one or two trucks?
Cargopedia offers a free plan that lets one user publish loads and trucks and search both, so a one-truck business can test the model without a subscription. The free plan hides the contact details of other users, which means you will need a paid plan before you can ring anyone. Wtransnet lists a separate plan for freelancers with one truck.
Haulage Exchange sells a small-fleet package for one to five vehicles, but it is a 12-month commitment and the amounts are only given on request. Whatever you choose, ask what is included in the first year before you sign, because none of the pages we read for these three published their paid amounts.
Which one to pick
If you ran loads through Uber Freight as a shipper and want the broker role kept, test sennder for European road freight and Chronotruck for pallets. If you are a carrier or forwarder who wants to find loads yourself, start with Trans.eu or TIMOCOM, add Teleroute or Wtransnet for the verification and payment tooling, and use Cargopedia as a free trial.
For small shippers, Pamyra and Eurosender cover parcels, pallets and occasional truck loads with quotes. Upply is the pick when price benchmarking matters more than a load board, and cargo.one only if air and ocean freight is your business. Stay with Uber Freight if you need its TMS or North American capacity, because no tool on this page replaces them.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the job. For an exchange where you find loads or trucks yourself, Trans.eu, TIMOCOM, Wtransnet and Teleroute are the main European choices. For a forwarder that handles the freight, sennder and Chronotruck fit best. Pamyra suits small pallet shipments, Upply combines price benchmarks with spot freight, and cargo.one covers air and ocean forwarding.
The Uber Freight homepage describes a North American network, and its privacy notice says it applies to users globally. The pages we read named no European legal entity and no hosting region. A shipper with European lanes should ask Uber Freight directly which entity signs the contract and where the data is processed.
The Uber Freight terms of use state that Delaware law applies and that disputes go to arbitration administered by JAMS, in Chicago, San Francisco or another place Uber Freight determines. Separate agreements such as a broker and motor carrier agreement can override those terms where they differ, according to the terms themselves.
No. Wtransnet is run by Alpega Iberia, S.A.U., and Teleroute by Alpega N.V. in Zaventem, Belgium, and both belong to the Alpega group. Ownership of Alpega is not stated on the pages we read. Taking both therefore does not diversify your exposure to one operator, though the two exchanges have different regional strengths.
Not on the pages we read. The European marketplaces list APIs and integrations into a customer's TMS or ERP, and TIMOCOM passes tracking data that way, but none of them presents a TMS as the Uber Freight TMS is presented. Plan a separate transport management decision if your dispatchers work inside the Uber Freight system today.
