How does Cargopedia differ from Uber Freight?
Cargopedia is a freight exchange where users contact each other, and the homepage names over 160,000 registered members. The about page names more than 25,000 active weekly members.
Uber Freight brokers freight itself and sells a TMS. Cargopedia offers none of that on the pages we read, so users handle contracts and payments between themselves.
Limitations to Consider
Cargopedia hides other users' contact details on the free plan, and the prices of paid plans were not in the text we read. The two membership figures on the site (160,000 registered, 25,000 active weekly) measure different things. The pages do not state a hosting location.
Who Should Use Cargopedia
