Taxi alternative Uber reportedly has pulled back from a possible buyout deal with Chicago-based freight logistics company Load Delivered Logistics to complement its existing UberFreight service.

An Uber spokesperson said the company now will not acquire Load Delivered. 

 

UberFreight helps independent truckers and trucking fleets find and negotiate available payload jobs through an app.

 

Load Delivered is a traditional brokerage firm that pairs truckers with payload work through a 70-person team and its new post-Uber future direction has yet to be announced.
