Company profile
researched Aug 2026Ofload is an Australian road freight and logistics-technology company that matches shippers needing goods moved with a vetted, nationwide network of trucking carriers. Shippers access freight services spanning interstate transport, domestic metro and regional delivery, road freight and rail freight, supported by a personalised carrier network and a team of freight specialists. Carriers, particularly small and medium operators, sign up for access to a marketplace of available loads plus support products such as fuel discounts and PayLater payment initiatives; all carriers undergo Chain of Responsibility safety vetting.
The company positions its work around removing waste in transport, citing a highly fragmented Australian road freight market of about 58,000 trucking companies in which many trucks run empty roughly 30% of the time and sit idle for about 50% of their lifespan. Alongside freight execution, Ofload offers carbon measurement tooling intended to help shippers prepare for mandated emissions reporting, and in 2024 launched DataVerse to monitor aggregated freight data and emissions across shipments for both shippers and carriers.
Founding story
Ofload was founded in 2019 by Geoffroy Henry, an entrepreneur with trucking-industry experience who previously led operations at HelloFresh and managed last-mile start-up BeCool, with the stated aim of transforming Australian road freight and removing waste in transport.
Business model
Ofload sells freight movement services to shippers, sourcing capacity from a managed network of third-party carriers rather than owning the trucks. It also provides carrier-facing offerings including marketplace load access, fuel discounts and PayLater financing, plus value-added services and data/emissions products layered on top of the freight relationship.
Traction
Ofload states it works with hundreds of customers moving freight across Australia and with leading Australian brands. It has completed two acquisitions (its first in 2022, a second in 2024), entered the AFR Fast100 with what it described as the second largest revenue nationwide among listed companies, and ranked #4 Deloitte Fast Starter and #4 LinkedIn Top Start Up in 2023.
Latest developments
Recent activity includes appointing Karishma Bhatt as VP Commercial and expanding Rebecca Smith's VP Operations role, with a CFO search underway; the appointment of a former Woolworths Group director as COO; B Corp certification; the launch of an electric truck with Kimberly-Clark Australia; the DataVerse launch; a fleet-expansion financing partnership with Sitrak and Mako Equipment Finance; and a zero-emissions freight partnership with Countrywide and 7R Logistics starting in Tasmania.
