New investment to fuel product depth and innovation, while accelerating strategic initiatives and market penetration

Truckstop.com, the industry-leading freight marketplace and first online freight matching and load board solution, today announced a majority investment from ICONIQ Capital, a leading investment firm. As part of the transaction, ICONIQ Capital has become Truckstop.com’s majority shareholder. Truckstop.com founder, Scott Moscrip and its existing management team, will maintain a significant ownership in the company.

Founded in 1995, Truckstop.com built the internet’s first digital load board to address the challenges carriers faced finding loads to move. Today, Truckstop.com is one of the most recognized and trusted brands in the transportation technology industry and the largest SaaS freight matching marketplace in North America, connecting tens of thousands of carriers and brokers with technology solutions for the entire freight management lifecycle.

Truckstop.com will leverage ICONIQ Capital’s resources and expertise to expand the company’s portfolio of technology solutions, geared toward improving efficiencies for carriers and brokers. This investment follows several years of strong company growth during which Truckstop.com expanded its executive leadership team, added tens of thousands of customers, created hundreds of new jobs, invested heavily in product development and infrastructure build-out, completed multiple acquisitions while maintaining a strong culture, and formed extensive partner integrations.

"The $1 trillion freight industry is primed for incredible growth and technology adoption in the coming years, as tech-enabled platforms are increasingly essential for managing operations, reducing costs and improving efficiency. Truckstop.com is the premier and trusted partner in this space, with an advanced technology platform that removes friction for all parties within the freight ecosystem, and an established network of transportation professionals across the country."
