Overhaul launched its web platform and mobile app Friday, which it terms “the next generation online marketplace for the trucking industry,” designed to address the needs of owner-operators and shippers moving higher value, more sensitive cargo.
This so-called “uberization of trucking” concept connects the needs of premium shippers to trusted professional drivers and operators, which Overhaul claims eliminates the need to connect through third parties.

“With Overhaul, drivers can thrive in an environment they get to design for themselves. We provide a secure method for shippers to move cargo with recognized and trusted drivers at our foundation,” said Barry Conlon, CEO of Overhaul. Conlon has more than 30 years of experience as a dedicated supply chain security professional. He facilitated the growth of FreightWatch into the Fortune 500 entity of supply chain security solutions and said he will do the same for Overhaul in the commercial transportation industry.
The Overhaul team will leverage its extensive network of contacts to line up higher end shippers and trusted owner operators in advance of the online marketplace launch mid-year. Overhaul’s proprietary technology, with advanced safety and security features and managed logistics services that it says will guarantee a secure move that will satisfy enterprise-level customers.
Ultimately, said Conlon, this will result in increased visibility and security for sensitive and time-critical cargo at a reduced cost for shippers. Operators will benefit from the opportunity to build relationships with shippers while improving their cash flow based on performance criteria during ‘the haul’.
