Peer

Peer Freight is a truckload freight brokerage that arranges capacity for shippers using software-assisted workflows. Its stated specialty is hazardous materials freight, including placarded loads hauled by carriers rated and insured for hazmat, and it also covers refrigerated and dry van truckload, flatbed and specialized freight such as machinery, building materials and oversize loads, and port drayage of containers into and out of ports and rail ramps.

The brokerage describes a standardized four-step process applied to every load: quoting with a rate returned within one hour accompanied by market comparables (spot and contract averages, with fuel included in an all-in rate); carrier coverage screened for fraud before dispatch, with checks including Carrier411 fraud flags, active FMCSA authority, insurance verified with the producer, and identity confirmed at dispatch, rechecked on each load rather than only at onboarding; proactive tracking with status updates and a live tracking link requiring no login, delivered via a tracking partner; and same-day closeout with signed proof of delivery and an invoice matched to the quote, plus accessorials stated in writing. Shippers submit loads through a multi-step quote request covering lane and dates, freight details, and services and extras.

Other stated operating attributes include 24/7 direct access to an owner on any load, membership in the Transportation Intermediaries Association and adherence to its anti-fraud standard, insurance coverage spanning contingent cargo and auto, general liability, errors and omissions, and cyber, and carrier payment terms of 24 to 48 hours standard with same-day pay available. The site references mentors and advisors affiliated with an accelerator ("Combinator").
