CHICAGO, IL, April 11, 2023 – Better Trucks, a technology-driven logistics firm focused on rapid parcel delivery, and Shippo, a leading shipping platform for growing e-commerce businesses, announced a strategic partnership to provide retailers and e-commerce companies with more regional carrier options.

 

Better Trucks is a last-mile delivery carrier focused on next-day and two-day parcel shipping to residential customers. Its shipping clients include leading retailers and e-commerce fulfillment companies such as ShipBob and Fillogic across the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, and Texas with additional regions to be added.

Shippo simplifies shipping not only for online sellers, but for e-commerce platforms, warehouses, and online marketplaces. Features such as real-time shipping rates, package tracking, returns, shipping analytics, and access to a global and regional network of carriers help all those in the e-commerce space grow and scale their business.

"The traditional, hub and spoke model of parcel shipping centralized around the big box truck has run its natural course," said Andy Whiting, Better Trucks co-founder and CEO. “Shippo was designed to give every merchant access to the best-in-class tools and technology reserved for retail giants and has built one of the most experienced teams in the industry backed by one of the most comprehensive datasets. We couldn’t be more excited to work more closely together to provide clients with deeper insights and better data that leads to faster, more reliable shipping.”

“Shippo’s mission has always been to make shipping easier, more affordable, and streamlined for online merchants, 3PLs, marketplaces, and e-commerce platforms,” said Pooja Daftary, Vice President of Carrier Partnerships for Shippo. “Our partnership with Better Trucks gives our users a competitive advantage in that they now have an additional carrier by which to deliver shipments faster and more affordably in densely populated areas of the country.“
