Convoy, an on-demand service for local and regional trucking, has secured $16 million in series A funding, led by Greylock Partners, and expanded its service into Oregon.

Convoy will use the additional funding to accelerate development of its technology and expand its footprint into additional regions.

Reid Hoffman and Simon Rothman from Greylock Partners said, “Convoy serves a tremendous need for the trucking industry. In order to compete, shippers and carriers need the networks between them to be more efficient so they can operate faster and with greater flexibility. Convoy creates a connected system that massively increases efficiency, transparency, and scheduling, and this innovation is the future of logistics.”

“We are transforming trucking and raising the expectations of shippers and carriers alike,” Convoy co-founder and CEO Dan Lewis said. “We couldn’t be happier to have Greylock’s involvement as we grow, and to welcome entrepreneurs like Hadi, Simon, and Reid to our board.”

Seattle, WA-based Convoy allows companies to track their shipments in real time, increasing visibility for shippers and streamlining communication.
