Hudson Capital Inc. (NASDAQ: HUSN) (Hudson Capital) announced that FreightHub, Inc. (Fr8Hub), a North American transportation logistics technology platform company focused on US-Mexico cross-border shipping with which Hudson Capital has signed a definitive Merger Agreement, reported its expanded customer base has resulted in Fr8Hub delivering more than 15,000 loads since its inception in 2015.
Fr8Hub customers grew 155% from 130 in October 2020 to more than 330 in April 2021, including one of the world’s largest snack and food manufacturers and one of North America’s largest retailers. More than 15,000 loads have been delivered for Fr8Hub’s customers since the company’s inception in 2015, with approximately half of those occurring in the past six months.

Javier Selgas, CEO of Fr8Hub, said, “We are encouraged by the significant growth in our customer base, who are using our industry leading transportation logistics platform to deliver more loads than ever before and on an increasingly repetitive basis as they become more familiar with our platform and its ease-of-use. Already in 2021, we have enhanced our technology with new offerings like our Broker Portal and upgraded offerings in our platform such as our Load Board 2.0, which we believe will drive even more usage from our existing customer base and attract new customers.”
