FreightLink
FreightLink is a loadboard connecting freight industry participants through a vetted, U.S.-only network. Its marketplace focuses on last-mile and hotshot freight, including sprinter vans, box trucks, and hotshot flatbeds. Brokers, carriers, dispatchers, and shippers are vetted before joining; the company says its compliance team manually checks carrier identity and documents such as licenses, operating authority, insurance, vehicle photos, and inspections. Users can search and book loads, receive load alerts, and generate bills of lading, rate confirmations, and invoices. FreightLink says it monitors its Fair Play Standards and offers dispute resolution. Integration models include live TMS load-push, approved broker TMS, and load search and booking. API access requires an approved Integration Partner application. Partners cannot permanently delete loads, and outbound event delivery is not deployed, so the documentation directs them to poll load endpoints for status. Membership is listed at free for approved members. A future subscription is listed at $49.99 a month but is not yet in effect.
