Cargoffer was created with the mission of transforming the European logistics sector by solving one of its biggest problems: empty truck journeys.
Every year, millions of trucks travel on roads without cargo, generating enormous waste of resources and contributing to the unnecessary increase in CO2 emissions.
At Cargoffer, we believe that technology can be the key to changing this, optimizing land transport and making every kilometer count.
With the Cargo Exchange, empty and half-loaded truck journeys can be avoided. By optimizing routes and contextualizing data on loads (and vehicles), we avoid unnecessary kilometers on the journey, intelligent refueling, and save up to 15% on fuel.
Where was the Idea Born?
The idea for Cargoffer arose during the difficult months of the pandemic, when Ricardo Soares, an experienced international logistics professional, noticed a recurring problem: 30% of truck journeys are made empty. This waste not only affected the efficiency of the sector but also unnecessarily increased the carbon footprint. Inspired by a previous project in South Africa, Ricardo decided to adapt that solution for Europe, and thus Cargoffer was born.
Jorge Parada had a family member who had to deal with this problem; his grandfather was a truck driver, and he had to travel empty or look for warehouse-to-warehouse loads to move. Or depend on someone in the office to find him loads. That was in the 1960s, but it's still happening today.
From the beginning, our objective has been clear: to make land transport a more fair, efficient, and ecological model. Cargoffer connects companies that need transport with truck drivers directly, eliminating intermediaries and ensuring that vehicles always travel with cargo.
Ecological and Environmental Soul
Cargoffer is not just a logistics marketplace; we are an agent of change in the industry. Our platform is designed to reduce empty journeys, one of the biggest environmental problems in road transport. By optimizing routes and filling trucks that would otherwise be empty, we are achieving a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and contributing to a more circular economy. In addition, we digitize the entire process, eliminating the unnecessary use of paper and promoting sustainable practices in every operation.
Allowing self-employed transporters and small businesses to compete on the same terms as large players. Every kilometer counts in the profitability of companies.
All members of Cargoffer have an emotional involvement, which is the engine that allows them to find ways to improve the lives of transporters; to improve the living conditions of such a hard and demanding profession. And simply, to help.
