Uber Freight Launches Industry-First AI Logistics Network at Scale, Ushering in a New Era of Intelligent Supply Chains

Powered by a logistics-specific LLM, Uber Freight’s AI unlocks real-time intelligence, optimization and execution for smarter, faster decisions across the full freight lifecycle

CHICAGO, May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uber Freight today announced the launch of the industry’s first scaled AI logistics network, powered by its proprietary logistics-specific large language model (LLM) and embedded directly into its transportation management system (TMS) and logistics platform. With this launch, Uber Freight is reimagining how shippers of all sizes manage transportation, placing AI at the center to drive better decisions, faster execution, and stronger performance.

“This is the inflection point we’ve been building toward,” said Lior Ron, Founder and CEO of Uber Freight. “With the launch of our AI logistics network and reimagined TMS, we’re not just automating tasks, we’re enabling a new level of agility, foresight, and competitive advantage for our customers.”

By the end of 2025, Uber Freight will further enhance its TMS, fully integrating Insights AI and its agent ecosystem. The TMS will evolve beyond a system of record to become a real-time logistics command center that proactively guides users of all sizes with intelligence and automated repetitive tasks.

Uber Freight’s logistics platform’s latest advancements bring to market more than 30 AI agents automating execution across the shipment lifecycle, while Insights AI delivers always-on recommendations to help shippers using the TMS to proactively navigate disruption, reduce cost, and improve service across their networks.

Over the past year, more than $1.6 billion in freight has moved through Uber Freight’s AI logistics infrastructure, with five enterprise brands leveraging early access to test and validate the technology. Trained on real logistics data from nearly $20 billion in freight under management, , including 30% of the Fortune 500, , Uber Freight’s LLM unlocks deep operational context and delivers not just answers, but actionable recommendations grounded in real-world complexity.
