Understanding HAQM Freight, HAQM Freight Partner, and Relay

Whether you’re a shipper, carrier, driver, or ambitious entrepreneur looking to break into trucking, HAQM has a pathway for you. However, like the world of trucking, those options and their nuances can be tricky to understand (hello, freight acronyms).

In this post, we seek to shed light on HAQM Freight, HAQM Freight Partner, and Relay so you can get the information you need.

Ship with HAQM Freight

Who it’s for: Shippers who need their products hauled. These can range from the biggest enterprise organizations to smaller, “mom and pop” size businesses.

What it does: Simply put, HAQM Freight is HAQM’s external trucking service. By tapping into the larger HAQM network and its 60,000+ trailers and carriers, HAQM Freight utilizes empty miles for shippers. That translates into competitive rates for you and less miles driven for the environment. All shipments are done in HAQM’s 53-foot dry vans and are tracked with GPS. You can ship full truckload inbound to HAQM’s facilities or even externally to your own.

How you can learn more: Start quoting and booking right away by creating an account. Getting quotes is as easy as 1, 2, 3. If you’re a larger shipper, contact the Enterprise Sales Team to help you analyze your shipping needs.

Launch and grow your trucking business with HAQM Freight Partner

Who it’s for: Entrepreneurs (with or without trucking experience) looking to start their own trucking business. You can be an existing carrier as well.

What it does: The barriers to entry for new carriers can be high. The HAQM Freight Partner program helps overcome those obstacles by giving you access to freight assets, training, and expert guidance. Your dedicated business coach will help you navigate the ins and outs of starting your own company in the freight industry. Once your business is ready to launch, you’ll be given HAQM-branded tractors and a consistent workload with the chance to grow with available demand.
