inDrive.Freight has revolutionized the freight industry with its unique set-your-own-price model, allowing customers to choose from various delivery options, negotiate pricing directly with drivers, and select from a wide range of vehicles suitable for city deliveries. This approach ensures competitive pricing without compromising on quality.
inDrive.Freight provides flexible and dependable freight transport solutions for in-city routes, offering on-demand same-day delivery. It operates by allowing customers to decide the shipment details, including timing, location, and the choice of vehicle. Customers also propose a freight price, to which drivers can respond by accepting, declining without consequences, or suggesting an alternate price. The selection of a carrier is immediate, based on cost, delivery time, and driver ratings. All drivers and their documentation are meticulously verified for shipment security, and real-time delivery tracking ensures the cargo is on track.
“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy,” said Mike Anderson, Founder and CEO of National Small Business Chamber. “Solutions like inDrive.Freight, which offers flexibility, affordability, and efficiency in the logistics process, are pivotal for the growth and success of these businesses. We commend inDrive for this forward-thinking initiative.”
