FreightFinder

What FreightFinder is

FreightFinder is a free web service connecting truckers, freight brokers, and shippers through truck and load listings. Anyone can search loads without logging in, using filters for city, radius, state, and equipment type. Listings may show rates, stops, and comments. Mileage and routing links open a Google map with mileage and general directions for the selected listing. A registered user can create a free account and receive a personalized load-board URL; listings on that board update automatically when they are posted, changed, or removed. FreightFinder also provides a categorized trucking-industry directory and a Google-powered search tool focused on transportation resources. The site says it partners with LoadBoardNetwork to distribute posted loads to FreightFinder and other boards in its network. FreightFinder lists loads but does not arrange hauling. Users contact the listing company, which is responsible for payment. Most listed loads need space for a 48- or 53-foot trailer, while partial loads are rare. FreightFinder says information submitted through its forms is not provided to advertisers or third-party advertisers, and that personal information is kept secure for the purposes in its privacy policy. Founded in 1998, the service says contact-page responses should arrive within 24–48 hours.

Who it suits

FreightFinder suits truckers, freight brokers, and shippers looking for searchable listings and transportation resources on the web. It is useful for people who want filters, map-based mileage links, or a personalized load board without subscription costs.

Limits

The free plan has no subscription fees or monthly costs, but most listed loads require 48- or 53-foot trailer space and partial loads are rare. FreightFinder lists loads without arranging hauling, and there is no booking workflow.
