Why Freight is different

Freight is Uber’s smallest segment: $5.1 billion of revenue in 2025, about 10% of the total. It matches shippers with carriers, but unlike rides it is a low-margin brokerage business, where most of the revenue passes through to the trucking companies that move the loads.

Uber reports a profit or loss for each segment. In Q2 2026 Mobility earned $2,215 million and Delivery $1,055 million of segment operating income, while Freight lost $24 million. In Q4 2025 the Freight loss was $18 million, down from $41 million a year earlier. The direction is better; it is still not profitable.

Freight revenue jumped 26% in Q2 2026 to $1.58 billion, after a year in which it was flat at about $1.26โ€“1.31 billion a quarter. Watch whether that growth holds before reading it as a turn in the freight cycle. More: Uber Freight business model, Uber Freight revenue.
