About BLP Transportation

Built by truckers. For truckers.

Our mission is to give every American carrier — from the solo owner-operator to the mid-size fleet — the same technology advantages as the mega-carriers.

Our story

BLP Transportation was founded in 2019 by three co-founders who grew up around a family trucking business in East Texas. After spending years watching their parents and uncles juggle outdated load boards, paper BOLs, and 45-day payment cycles, they set out to build the tool they always wished existed.

Today, BLP is headquartered in Dallas, TX with engineering offices in Austin and Nashville. We serve over 50,000 active carriers and 12,000 freight brokers across the United States, and are proud to be a TIA-vetted and FMCSA-compliant platform.

We're still independent and employee-owned, which means every product decision is made with one simple question: does this help drivers make more money with less hassle?
