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.
