About FreightPros (NTG brand)
FreightPros is an Austin, TX-based freight broker founded in 2009 as an online-first LTL and FTL brokerage targeting small and mid-sized businesses. The company was acquired by Nolan Transportation Group (NTG) / Transportation Insight in December 2019 and continues to operate as an NTG brand within that larger organization. Earlier directory copy attributing FreightPros to WWEX Group / GlobalTranz was incorrect; the actual parent is NTG / Transportation Insight.
FreightPros was early to the online LTL quoting model — its core offering is a self-serve web platform where shippers can get LTL rates, book loads, and track shipments without speaking to a broker agent. This approach resonated with small businesses that found traditional broker relationships too high-touch for the volumes they were moving. The platform accesses LTL carrier rates through the NTG carrier network.
Shippers evaluating FreightPros should understand its position within the NTG / Transportation Insight structure. As a subsidiary brand, FreightPros does not operate as an independent company — its carrier network, technology infrastructure, and financial backing flow from NTG. This is generally a positive for reliability, but shippers should be aware that the brand could be phased into or consolidated with the broader NTG platform over time. For SMBs needing simple online LTL quoting with national carrier access, FreightPros remains a functional and accessible option.
