Freight brokers are measuring their inboxes wrong. Most inbound email is monitoring, not work. And the longtail categories that look like noise are costing real margin. Here's how to audit what's actually in your inbox, and why it matters in 2026's margin-first market.
MyCarrier and project44's court battle over contract terms intensifies, with both FreightTech companies defending their business models in a high-stakes legal dispute.
In a brewing legal battle, FreightTech powerhouses MyCarrier and project44 are fighting in Delaware Chancery Court over a contract dispute that could reshape their business relationship.
MyCarrier and project44 are fighting in court over p44’s threats to shut off MyCarrier’s APIs due to what it says are violations of the No Build-Behind Restrictions in the companies’ 2023 services agreement.

In 2023, MyCarrier and project44 signed a lucrative agreement with project44 providing API and visibility services to MyCarrier’s LTL platform. The agreement included a crucial “No Build-Behind” clause—MyCarrier wasn’t supposed to create competing products.
But in June 2024, project44 accused MyCarrier of violating this clause by developing a stand-alone eBoL product. MyCarrier denied the claims, asserting that their eBoL was integrated into existing systems, not a separate product. When project44 threatened to cut off services, MyCarrier responded with legal action.
On June 30, MyCarrier filed for a temporary restraining order to stop project44 from suspending services, claiming that a cutoff would cause "irreparable harm" to its operations. Project44 countered, arguing MyCarrier was secretly developing competitive technology in bad faith, demanding immediate discovery to uncover the truth.
MyCarrier: The company emphasized its commitment to its partners, stating:
“MyCarrier always has and will continue to operate in a collaborative and open manner.”
Project44: General Counsel Jennifer Coyne expressed that project44 only sought to enforce its contractual rights without disrupting service.
The court did not grant MyCarrier’s restraining order request but has ordered both parties to begin a formal discovery process. This story is still developing, but the aftermath will play a huge role for companies seeking similar agreements and regulations in the future within the freight tech industry.
