Convoy is transforming the $800 billion trucking industry, where even 10 years ago, most truck drivers did not have smartphones and paper driver logs were common. In 2015, Convoy launched the digital freight movement with an open and fully connected marketplace for brands and manufacturers to work directly with freight carriers who move truckload shipments throughout the country. This ‘Digital Freight Network’ is powered by machine learning and automation, and supported by a broad, ever-growing set of features that benefit both sides of the marketplace.


We’ve been honored to work with some great companies, such as Unilever, The Home Depot, and Procter & Gamble. We’ve also been backed by world-class investors, including Google, YCombinator, Fidelity, Greylock Generation, Lone Pine, T. Rowe Price, Baillie Gifford and the founders and CEOs of Amazon, Salesforce, eBay, LinkedIn, Expedia, Dropbox, Starbucks, and others. We are proud to have been named a CNBC Disruptor 50 Winner (3x), a Fast Company World Changing Idea, a LinkedIn Top Startup, a Forbes' Best Startup Employer, one of Fortune Magazine's 'Impact 20' list, a best place to work in Washington State, a BloombergNEF Pioneer winner, and more.


This is your opportunity to collaborate with an incredible group of people and help transform the freight industry. Join Convoy and help us transport the world with endless capacity and zero waste.



Sustainability at Convoy

In 2021 Convoy showed a greater commitment to sustainability by joining The Climate Pledge and United Nations Global Compact. These partnerships are communities of like-minded companies to learn and share ways of growing a sustainable business and reaching a future of zero emission freight. We also continued our relationship with the EPA, Women in Trucking, Truckers Against Trafficking, National Minority Supplier Diversity Council, and Women Enterprise Business Council to continue to support organizations who also have aligned values in helping businesses and carriers be more sustainable.


In addition to our industry facing efforts, we prioritize sustainability when making decisions about our own operations. We started this work in 2020 by measuring the carbon footprint of our business and understanding our greatest sources of emissions. Then we started to look around our business and make obvious decisions to start reducing our footprint. In 2022 we will get scientific in our carbon emissions reduction. We plan to reduce our emissions in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to limiting global warming to well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.


As we continue to inspect our own operations, we will look for more opportunities to make sustainable choices. Examples include choosing office locations that minimize emissions for employee commuting, reducing waste in our procurement purchases, implementing a supplier code of conduct, and prioritizing diverse suppliers.

Finally, we will continue to publish an annual corporate sustainability report (see 2020) to celebrate our successes and give our stakeholders a transparent look into our sustainability progress. This is in addition to other reporting requirements such as the EPA SmartWay program, Ecovadis, GLEC, SASB, GRI, and SBTi. We use these reports to hold a high bar for ourselves and to build trust, credibility, and accountability with our employees, customers, carriers, and partners.
