Better Trucks is a technology-first last-mile delivery carrier purpose-built for digital commerce. Founded in 2019, they serve eCommerce brands, retailers, and fulfillment partners with fast, flexible parcel delivery—including next-day, two-day, and economy ground options—all powered by a fully integrated tech stack.
Their proprietary platform delivers real-time tracking, automated notifications, address intelligence, and seamless integrations—giving brands total visibility and control from the moment a package leaves the warehouse to final delivery.
Better Trucks’ asset-light approach is powered by a completely connected middle-mile, linehaul—built for speed, scale, and simplicity. With a single point of entry into over 40% of U.S. households, every stage—from pickup to sortation to final-mile injection—is fully integrated. The result: fewer handoffs, faster delivery, and flexible coverage that scales effortlessly during peak and promotional surges.
Key offerings include:
- Vestigo™: A no-code, SaaS-based parcel-tracking platform that delivers real-time visibility, customizable KPIs, and webhook integrations for seamless operations.
- Checkpoint™: An AI-powered, multi-layer address-validation solution (combining AI heuristics, human review, and SMS “pin-drop” confirmation) that prevents mis-deliveries before a delivery vehicle ever rolls.
- SmartRate™: A dynamic pricing engine that adjusts rates in real time, balancing capacity, distance, and urgency to secure optimal rates.
As an innovator in the last-mile space, Better Trucks pairs cutting-edge technology with a customer-obsessed operations team to help shippers, retailers, and online merchants reduce delivery costs, improve on-time performance, and elevate the end-customer experience.
Features and Benefits
- Next-Day & Two-Day Delivery: Guaranteed time-sensitive windows are built for the “now-or-never” economy, improve lifetime customer value, reduce customer complaints and minimize chargebacks.
- Economy Ground Service (3–5 days): A cost-effective tier that provides reliable transit for non-urgent orders.
- Technology-First Architecture: Better Trucks was engineered as a technology company from day one—not retrofitted like traditional carriers. Their custom-built logistics stack spans everything from address validation to tracking infrastructure, giving shippers unmatched control, speed, and adaptability in the last mile.
