Seventeen years of keeping promises.
Founded in Memphis in 2009 with two trucks and a spreadsheet. Today 820 people run freight on four continents.
Built by people who hated waiting for updates.
Daniel and Amelia started CargoLane after one too many lost containers at a previous forwarder. The idea was simple: every shipment gets a human owner and a live status, always.
