Uber Freight announced an expanded commercial partnership with Better Trucks, a leading last-mile delivery platform serving major retail and e-commerce brands. The collaboration includes a strategic investment that will significantly enhance Uber Freight’s last-mile offering, enabling customers to deliver directly from stores or fulfillment centers to consumers’ doorsteps with greater speed, reliability, and real-time visibility.
This partnership further accelerates the growth of Uber Freight’s End-to-End Logistics—a flexible, tech-driven solution covering every stage from first-mile procurement to final delivery.
Strengthening Uber’s Broader Last-Mile Strategy
The enhanced partnership aligns with Uber’s wider last-mile ecosystem, which includes Uber Eats, Uber Direct, and Uber Freight, positioning the company as a uniquely integrated global delivery platform.

A Growing Market Opportunity
The U.S. last-mile parcel market is rapidly evolving due to the surge in e-commerce and rising consumer expectations. With this partnership, Uber Freight strengthens its positioning as a full supply-chain orchestrator, leveraging multimodal density to reduce cost and complexity for shippers—advantages most last-mile competitors cannot match.

“This partnership brings new scale and opportunity to what we have always done,” added Andy Whiting, Co-Founder and CEO of Better Trucks. “We share a vision for a more intelligent and efficient logistics network.”
Supporting Shippers Ahead of Peak Season
The expanded partnership comes as retailers prepare for the peak holiday season. Early adopters of Uber Freight’s End-to-End Logistics solution have already seen improvements in delivery cost, first-attempt success rates, and consumer satisfaction—particularly in dense urban and suburban markets.
