Hwy Haul is a technology company.
Hwy Haul develops Miles, an AI operating system for autonomous freight execution. Miles orchestrates AI agents across critical functions including pricing, coverage, dispatch, and in-transit operations, automating supply chain workflows through various communication channels and integrating with existing Transportation Management Systems (TMS). The company also offers its own cloud-based Praxis TMS and operates a freight brokerage, which serves as a live testing ground for its AI agents in real-world market conditions.
Hwy Haul was co-founded by Syed Aman, who serves as CEO, and Zahed Khan, the COO. Their experience includes scaling complex supply chain systems at Walmart, providing them with a profound understanding of the inefficiencies inherent in traditional logistics. This insight led them to establish the company, based on the premise that future growth in freight operations will stem from increasing the execution capacity per operator through intelligent automation.
Hwy Haul targets freight brokers, 3PLs, shippers, and carriers, providing solutions that streamline operations and increase efficiency across the logistics chain. The company’s vision is to foster a "human-led strategy, AI-led execution" model, where human teams can concentrate on strategic decisions and relationships while AI handles the extensive operational follow-through. This approach aims to allow operators to manage significantly more freight, driving greater leverage and efficiency throughout the supply chain.

Hwy Haul is a technology company that builds a next-generation digital freight platform specifically for fresh produce and related industries such as consumer products, retail, food & beverage, manufacturing, and agriculture. The platform connects shippers—including farmers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers—directly with truckers and carriers, eliminating intermediaries and streamlining the supply chain. It offers features like instant load booking, real-time freight tracking, temperature and humidity monitoring, and actionable data insights to reduce waste, improve freshness, and optimize logistics. Hwy Haul serves shippers and carriers by solving critical problems in refrigerated produce transportation, such as cold chain compliance and transit condition monitoring, while enabling faster, more transparent, and cost-efficient freight operations. The company has demonstrated impressive growth momentum, rapidly building a satisfied customer base and gaining traction in the complex refrigerated produce distribution market[1][2][3].
Founded in October 2018, Hwy Haul was established by a team of experienced technologists and logistics veterans, including CEO Syed Aman, CTO Sharan Grewal, and COO Zahed Khan. Aman and Grewal bring deep technical expertise from their prior leadership roles at WalmartLabs, where they built and scaled Walmart’s online grocery and logistics platforms. Zahed Khan contributes extensive operational experience from the trucking and distribution sectors. The idea for Hwy Haul emerged from the founders’ recognition of inefficiencies and friction in the fresh produce freight market, particularly the lack of digital tools and transparency in refrigerated freight brokerage. Early traction came from leveraging their combined expertise to build a platform that offers instant pricing, touchless load booking, and real-time monitoring, positioning Hwy Haul as a pioneer in digital freight brokerage for fresh produce[1][2][4].
Hwy Haul rides the trend of digital transformation in logistics and supply chain management, particularly in the perishable goods sector where freshness and cold chain integrity are critical. The timing is favorable due to increasing demand for transparency, efficiency, and sustainability in food distribution, alongside growing e-commerce and grocery delivery markets. Market forces such as rising consumer expectations for fresh produce quality, regulatory pressures on cold chain compliance, and the need to reduce food waste work in Hwy Haul’s favor. By digitizing freight brokerage and integrating real-time monitoring, Hwy Haul influences the broader ecosystem by setting new standards for efficiency, data transparency, and sustainability in refrigerated logistics[1][2][4].
Looking ahead, Hwy Haul is well-positioned to expand its footprint across the fresh produce and broader refrigerated freight markets by continuing to innovate on digital freight brokerage and cold chain technology. Trends such as automation, AI-driven logistics optimization, and sustainability initiatives will shape their journey. As they scale, Hwy Haul’s influence may grow beyond fresh produce into other temperature-sensitive supply chains, further disrupting traditional freight brokerage models. Their leadership’s strong technical background and operational expertise provide a solid foundation for sustained growth and ecosystem impact, making them a key player to watch in the digital logistics space[1][2][4].
Hwy Haul has raised $10.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $10.0M Series A in May 2021.
