Division of Corporation Finance Office of Energy & Transportation Re: Freight Technologies, Inc. Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2024 Filed April 14, 2025 File No. 001-38172

Dear Lily Dang & Karl Hiller:

We hereby submit the responses of Freight Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") to the comments of the staff (the "Staff") of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") set forth in the Staff's letter, dated June 5, 2025, providing the Staff's comments with respect to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Report"). Concurrently with the filing of this response letter, we have submitted an amendment to the Annual Report that incorporates our changes as indicated below made in response to the Staff's comments.

For the convenience of the Staff, each of the Staff's comments is included and is followed by the corresponding response of the Company. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this letter to "we," "us" and "our" refer to the Company on a consolidated basis.

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2024

Management's Discussion and Analysis, page 44

Revenues, page 45

1. Please expand your disclosures to include a summary table of the non-financial operating measures for each period, as pertaining to revenues of the Freight Transportation Brokerage and Dedicated Capacity segments, including measures that are specific to your FTL, LTL, and ocean container shipments, and the shipping capacity sold, to comply with Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K.

For example, these should include volumetric and unitary measures such as the number of shipments, miles transported, trucks providing capacity, average prices per unit, and any other details that are correlated with your performance obligations and relevant to understanding the activity that is reflected in your financial statements.

Please also disclose the extent to which material changes in revenues are attributable to changes in volumes, and separately to changes in prices, product mix, and other factors to comply with Item 303(b) and (b)(2) of Regulation S-K.

Response: In prior annual reports, the Company did not provide quantitative schedules of volumetric and unitary measures of shipments or related details specific to its revenues from its two lines of services. We did provide qualitative analysis of changes in volumes and rates, which impacted revenue.

For operating metrics with respect to annual revenue for the year ending December 31, 2024 vs. 2023, please find the schedule and additional analysis below.

$'000 (USD) YoY YoY %

Freight Transportation Brokerage 8,635 13,474 (4,839 ) -36 %

Dedicated Capacity 5,094 3,586 1,507 42 %

Total Revenue 13,729 17,061 (3,332 ) -20 %

Volumes YoY YoY %

Brokerage Shipments 4,780 6,886 (2,106 ) -31 %

Dedicated Capacity Truck Days 15,139 9,045 6,094 67 %

The Freight Transportation Brokerage service line experienced a 31% decline in the number of shipments; 35% lower for US domestic, 24% lower in Mexico domestic, and a 36% lower for cross-border shipments. As indicated in our 10-K, the declines in this service line were primarily a factor of the Company seeking higher margin business and specific circumstances with a few customers.

The Dedicated Capacity service line experienced a 67% increase in the number of truck days made available to our Fr8Fleet customers. One truck day means a standard 53' dry-van trailer and truck being available to serve the customer for one full working day. The increase in truck days exceeded the increase in revenue, primarily due to the Company providing significantly more local, short-haul capacity in 2024 for its primary Fr8Fleet customer, Kimberly Clark de Mexico (KCM), which is provided at a lower daily rate than longer haul capacity.

Costs of Revenues, page 45

2. Please expand your discussion and analysis pertaining to cost of revenues as necessary to clearly describe the composition and nature of items included in your costs of revenues; and include corresponding details adjacent to your revenue recognition accounting policy disclosures on pages F-14 and F-15 of the financial statements.

As you appear to disclose a measure of gross margin that excludes depreciation and amortization that is related to cost of revenue, this would be considered a non-GAAP measure. If the measure is incomplete and you wish to retain the non-GAAP measure, please revise the label and add disclosures to comply with item 10(e) of Regulation SK, including presenting and discussing the most directly comparable GAAP measure, with equal or greater prominence, and including a reconciliation.

Under this scenario we believe the most directly comparable GAAP measure would be gross margin, reflecting all costs of sales. However, if depreciation and amortization is not attributable to cost of sales, explain to us your view and the reasons for the parenthetical captions utilized in your financial presentations.

Response : The Company's cost of revenue for both freight brokerage and dedicated services is entirely comprised of the costs our carriers incur and invoice us to perform the service. In the case of freight brokerage services, this reflects their total costs for hauling the customers freight from origin to destination. In the case of dedicated capacity services, this reflects having the trucks available to haul freight for the customer and costs related to any freight movements. For both services, these costs include any accessorial charges carriers may incur such as loading or unloading, drayage, stoppage, fuel surcharges, border-crossing, packing materials, etc.

The Company's depreciation and amortization costs relate to the Company's use over time of internally developed software, computer equipment, furniture, and our internet domain name. The Company considers all such costs to be operating expenses and not part of our cost of revenue. The parenthetical captions utilized in our financial presentations were consistent with prior reporting to provide clarity that depreciation and amortization are not part of our cost of revenue.

Other Income and Expenses, page 47

3. We note that you report a gain of $1.6 million in 2024 resulting from extinguishments of convertible notes issued in 2023 and promissory notes issued in 2024, having Freight Opportunities, LLC as the counterparty, according to the disclosures on pages F-20 and F-23. On page 62, you indicate this entity, along with Freight Opportunities II, LLC, collectively beneficially own or control 91.1% of your shares.

Please expand your disclosure herein to provide further details regarding the terms of the cancellation agreements, and of the obligations that have been extinguished, including the circumstances precipitating the event, the principal and interest balances of the notes that were cancelled, and any related consideration or contingency.

Response : The Company filed a Form 6-K on September 4, 2024 announcing extinguishment of the convertible notes and promissory notes, and included the entirety of the cancelation agreement in the filing. The components of the $1.6 million were:

Principal of Promissory Term Notes $ 875,000

Promissory Note Accrued Interest $ 30,822

Book Value of Convertible Note $ 219,840

Convertible Note Accrued Interest $ 482,103

Total $ 1,607,766

There were no other related considerations or contingencies.

To note, as of March 31, 2025, Freight Opportunities, LLC and Freight Opportunities II, LLC collectively owned 91.1% of the Company on a fully diluted basis, assuming all outstanding warrants and preferred shares the entities held were exercised or converted. The entities held 208,110 ordinary shares as of March 31, 2025 or 9.2% of the outstanding ordinary shares. The debt cancellation agreement did not require the Company to issue any additional ordinary shares, preferred shares or warrants to either entity.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures,

4. We note that you have endeavored to provide certain required information about your relationships with three accounting firms that had been engaged to conduct auditing and review services. However, various representations and dates within these disclosures are inconsistent with prior disclosures or not clearly aligned. Please revise your disclosures as necessary to correct errors and misrepresentations to include revisions that address the following points.

(a) Your statement that UHY LLP resigned is not consistent with the report that you filed on July 10, 2024, which indicates that UHY LLP was dismissed.

(b) Your statement that Marcum LLP was engaged on June 20, 2024 is not consistent with the report that you filed on January 10, 2025, which indicates that Marcum LLP was engaged August 22, 2024.

(c) It appears that you intended to specify the periods prior to your dismissal of Marcum LLP in the sixth paragraph, in making a representation about whether or not there were disagreements or reportable events, although you reference an interim period that is not aligned with the date of their dismissal, and is not consistent with the report that you filed on January 10, 2025, which covers the period up to the date of dismissal.

(d) You have duplicate representations in the first and fifth paragraphs stating that Marcum LLP "has not provided any audit services to the Company subsequent to July 4, 2024" (which is the date that you also associate with the resignation of UHY LLP). Clarify whether these are accurate with respect to Marcum LLP, or if one of these should pertain to UHY LLP, and if a different date is needed to align with the audit and review work of Marcum LLP.

(e) Your statement that Marcum LLP resigned is not consistent with the report that you filed on January 10, 2025, which indicates that you dismissed Marcum LLP.

(f) You have duplicate representations in the third and seventh paragraphs about a letter from Marcum LLP that is filed as an exhibit. Clarify whether one of those was intended to express something similar with respect to UHY LLP.

(g) The seventh paragraph indicates that you asked Marcum LLP to provide a letter regarding the views of UHY LLP, which does not correlate with the disclosure requirement or the contents of the letter that you have filed as an exhibit.

(h) Your representation in the last paragraph regarding the engagement of TAAD LLP and whether the firm had been consulted with respect to certain matters prior to its engagement, does not fulfill the disclosure requirement because you reference Marcum LLP instead.

Response : In consideration of the points raised here under item number four, the eight paragraphs in the section titled "Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures" should be adjusted to read as follows: (Words bolded to emphasize adjustments and bullet points referenced.)

Point (a) and (d) : UHY LLP ("UHY") audited our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. On July 4, 2024, UHY was dismissed (a) as our independent registered public accounting firm. The audit reports of UHY on the Company's financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. UHY did not provide an audit report on our financial statements for any period subsequent to December 31, 2023. UHY (d) has not provided any audit services to the Company subsequent to July 4, 2024.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the subsequent interim period through July 4, 2024, (i) there were no "disagreements" between us and UHY (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC ("Regulation S-K") and the related instructions to this item) on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of UHY, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report on the financial statements for such period, and (ii) there were no "reportable events" as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, other than as described below.

Point (h) : We provided UHY with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested UHY to furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not UHY agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of UHY 's (f) letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.

Point (b), (d) and (e) : On August 22, 2024, (b) we engaged Marcum LLP ("Marcum") as our new independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the subsequent interim period through the date hereof prior to the engagement of Marcum, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Marcum regarding any of the matters described in Items 304(a)(2)(i) or 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

On January 7, 2025, Marcum was dismissed (e) as our independent registered public accounting firm. Marcum has not reported on the Company's consolidated financial statements for any interim or annual period. Marcum has not provided any audit services to the Company subsequent to January 7, 2025 (d) .

Point (c), (f) and (g): During the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 , and for the subsequent interim period through January 7, 2025 , (c) (i) there were no "disagreements" between us and Marcum (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to this item) on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report on the financial statements for such period, and (ii) there were no "reportable events" as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, other than as described below.

We provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested Marcum to furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Marcum (f) (g) agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of Marcum's letter is filed as Exhibit 16.2 to this report.

Point (h) : On January 6, 2025, we engaged TAAD LLP ("TAAD") as our new independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and for the subsequent interim period through the date hereof prior to the engagement of TAAD, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted TAAD (h) regarding any of the matters described in Items 304(a)(2)(i) or 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

5. We note your disclosures indicating that you engaged Marcum LLP as your independent registered public accounting firm on June 20, 2024, and that the firm resigned on January 7, 2025.
