HDShips

HDShips is the freight brokerage arm of the TILT ecosystem, combining decades of logistics experience with purpose-built technology to deliver reliable freight execution across North America. Operating as HD Shipping Solutions, LLC., the company positions itself as a partner that merges advanced tools with hands-on, around-the-clock human support. Their core philosophy centers on proactive freight management, where real-time visibility through their iTracker platform catches problems before they reach the customer, and smarter freight matching reduces empty miles and associated emissions.

The company covers a comprehensive range of shipping modes including full truckload, expedited, specialized, cross-border, intermodal, drayage, oversized/overweight, partials, drop trailer, and warehousing/3PL services. HDShips leverages connections to major loadboards such as Highway, DAT One, and Truckstop to source capacity quickly across an extensive vetted carrier network. Security is a central pillar of their offering, with carrier vetting, fraud prevention tools, and cargo protection built into their operations. On the sustainability front, they work with SmartWay-registered carriers and provide Scope 3 emissions reporting.

A major component of HDShips' business model is its agent program, which allows independent freight agents to leverage the company's brokerage infrastructure, technology stack (Nexus TMS and iTracker), and back-office operations including billing, collections, and carrier onboarding. Agents benefit from insured receivables, health care access, marketing support, and a payout structure that scales with their book of business. The company also runs a referral program offering commissions of up to 10% on net profit for up to five years on referred shippers, creating additional earning opportunities for partners in their network.
