Lumost debuts a direct shipper-to-carrier freight platform, eliminating intermediary dependency and giving shippers visibility from booking to settlement.

FORT WORTH, TX, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Lumost, the shipper-centric transportation management platform built and refined by Cedar Bluff Shipper Solutions, is officially hitting the market. After years of development, the proprietary technology that has powered CB Shipper Solutions is now available to shippers nationwide, launching under a new name rooted in lumen, the Latin word for light — a declaration of purpose.

The people, the platform, and the processes that set this company apart remain unchanged. What changes is everything the world sees first.

A Platform Years in the Making. Now Available Nationwide.
After years of development and over a decade of accumulated industry expertise, the team behind CB Shipper Solutions has built something the freight industry hasn’t seen before — and Lumost is now the platform available to shippers everywhere.

Lumost brings together state-of-the-art technology, sophisticated operational workflows, and an exceptional team of vetting specialists, operations managers, accountants, and support staff — all working in concert to deliver a shipper-owned freight management experience that is more efficient and transparent than what the industry has come to accept as the standard.

Lumost serves shippers of every size — from small regional operations to large enterprise-level organizations — across every industry, nationwide.

Fixing What’s Broken
The freight industry has a problem. Unnecessary intermediary layers have become the norm, inflating costs, obscuring visibility, and cutting into what carriers rightfully earn. Public load boards have replaced meaningful relationships with transactional noise. Shippers who choose to use brokers have no visibility into load movements or the carriers who haul their freight — and most have been told that’s simply the cost of doing business.

Lumost rejects that premise entirely.

The Lumost model is built on direct shipper-to-carrier connections, eliminating middlemen and public load board dependency without sacrificing compliance, security, or execution. Through rigorous carrier vetting, shippers gain a private network of qualified, trusted carriers. Through the Lumost Platform, they gain full visibility and control — from order intake through final settlement. And carriers, freed from intermediary layers, take home more of what they’ve earned while building the kind of direct relationships that create long-term stability.

This is not an incremental improvement on an old model — it’s a total reconstruction. Lumost's technology platform negates the need for separate technologies and subscriptions for order entry, truck management system functionality, carrier vetting, and payment processing — bringing what's typically scattered across multiple systems into one. For shippers who rely on intermediaries, this also closes a visibility gap: they've had no direct insight into how these functions are handled on their behalf, and their intermediaries are often working from the same scattered, disconnected resources.

A Brighter Future for Freight
“We built Lumost to bring light to an industry that has operated in the dark for too long,” said Cody McGarraugh, Founder and CEO. “The freight model we’ve normalized is broken — it costs shippers more, pays carriers less, and leaves everyone with less visibility than they deserve. We’re here to turn over the stones most would leave unturned, to expose the flaws for what they are, and to show the industry what’s actually possible when you remove the layers that were never supposed to be there in the first place.”

Cedar Bluff Shipper Solutions will live on as a freight management company that operates strictly under the Lumost Platform. All existing CB Shipper Solutions clients will benefit from the Lumost Platform and will be brought into the brand-new environment.
