    Alex ReedFreightWaves Today

  • “we were part of this Uplabs relationship that J.B. Hunt has. And a lot of the background for the company was really sourced from the J.B. Hunt team on, hey, here are some of the opportunities in the business to help us execute better.”

    Alex ReedFreightWaves Today

  • “when we went to the largest users of our payments network, think about C.H. Robinson, Rxo, J.B. Hunt, publicly traded companies, when you start to talk to them about making their payments, that's a significant financial counterparty assignment for a freight broker.”
