What Happened to Freightbook? Where Forwarder Directories Went Instead

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Freightbook still a freight forwarder directory?+

Not at freightbook.net. As of 14 August 2026 that domain 301-redirects to freightbooktraining.com, which sells an online heavy-transport training course rather than a directory or networking service. If you hold a listing or membership, contact them directly.

What is the best alternative to Freightbook for a directory listing?+

For a listing shippers can find, CargoLinked is free with Connected at $29/month or $299/year, and Freightnet Premium is $99/year. For forwarder-to-forwarder networking, JCtrans, WCAworld, DF Alliance and Parnity are the main options, though only Parnity publishes its price ($999/year).

How do I protect my freight business from a directory closing?+

Spread listings across two or three directories rather than depending on one, since at $0 to $299 a year the cost of redundancy is low. More importantly, build your own website and search presence. It is the only lead channel that cannot be retired, repriced or redirected by someone else.
