Freight people. Payment-rails people.
One of us knows the lanes, the brokers and the 5 a.m. phone calls. The other built the systems whole countries use to move money. RateGate needs both.
Co-founder & CEO
Vasile Tudor
Has worked freight from both sides of the broker's desk — brokerage and carrier.
On the brokerage side, Vasile booked loads and saw exactly where the margin comes from. On the carrier side, he saw who pays for it — rushed broker checks, verbal deals that fall apart, cancellations that only cost the truck.
He leads the road side of RateGate: carriers, shippers and the lanes we open first — so the people hauling and shipping deal straight with each other.
Co-founder & CTO
Ion Bostanica
Designed payment systems that run whole countries, used by millions of people. Architected the first global digital Bill of Exchange platform.
Ion has designed several payment systems at national and cross-border level. They are built to scale, and millions of people rely on them every day. He also architected the first global digital Bill of Exchange platform, where deals are drafted, negotiated and signed online, with a blockchain-backed audit record that holds up in court.
At RateGate he builds what sits behind every load: the rate you agree and the confirmation you sign. It's designed with the same quality and precision, with no broker in between.
Questions before you sign up.
Is RateGate early access really free?
Yes. No fees, no subscription and no card for the entire testing period. You'll get notice before anything changes, and early members hear first.
When does my region open?
We open regions where enough carriers and shippers have signed up for loads to actually move. The live map shows where each region stands. Inviting the other side speeds up your region.
Do carriers need their own MC or DOT authority?
To haul on RateGate, yes — active MC or DOT authority and insurance. You don't need the number to sign up; we'll confirm it on the call.
What happens after I sign up?
A real person from the RateGate team calls you to confirm your lanes and set up your account. When your region opens you can book or post loads with zero fees for the testing period.
What do you do with my information?
We use it to contact you about early access and to decide which regions to open first. We don't sell it. Only region totals appear on the public map — never names or companies.
