Shipwell – Helping every business ship freight as well as Amazon

>Freight brokers and third-party logistics companies (“3PLs”) are first-class citizens in Shipwell’s platform, which sets us apart from other startups in the space that are actively trying to disrupt them.

This is an important differentiator. Many other freight network startups have failed because they couldn't get the supply/demand flywheel turning fast enough. Integrating with existing carrier networks means you won't undercut them on price, but you can compete on convenience for shippers.

Possibly off topic, but I'll ask it here anyway in case someone can point me in the right direction: I'd like to ship a preloaded and privately owned 20 ft shipping container from urban West Coast US to rural East Coast US. From what I can tell, probably would make sense as truck-train-truck intermodal freight transport. But this seems to be rare enough I'm not finding a lot of information online, at least given those search terms. Are there better terms to search for? Who would I talk to about this for what is likely a one-time shipment?

Is this similar to Flexport?

Uhm, truckstop.com has been doing this since 1995. This isn't new or anything earth shattering

So to be clear, this is a B2B thing, right? Not for end consumers.

Do you handle shipments to Amazon FBA?

Is there any way to get rid of the "you've read X articles this month, let's make things official" overlay on Medium? It annoys me every time!
