Overview
Ofload's mission is to achieve zero waste in trucking by digitising the transport industry.
In Australia, 30% of trucks drive empty and 50% are underutilised, causing inefficiency and environmental impact. Since 2020 we have scaled to a team of over 100, removed nearly 5 million empty kilometres, and planted over 11,000 trees to offset our carbon footprint in partnership with One Tree Planted.
In 2022, we grew through the acquisition of CIA Logistics, raised $60m in Series B funding, and were recognised by the Australian Financial Review as one of Australia\'s Most Innovative Companies.
