Overroute Raises $5.5M for AI Freight Agents Already Running Across J.B. Hunt

Summary

Overroute closed a $5.5 million round led by UP.Partners to scale AI 'freight execution' agents that automate load monitoring, exception handling and coordination across ocean, rail and road handoffs. The startup says its system already runs across all J.B. Hunt business units, processing millions of shipments a year, turning inbox- and TMS-based coordination work into autonomous responses. The raise reflects growing appetite for agentic AI as labour costs rise and supply-chain complexity grows.
