Freightaid : The shippers
cargo portal

The Shippers Cargo Portal.

Freightaid was originally developed in 1997 to aid shippers, freight-forwarders and the like in international trade. With the growth in similar styled websites and with my workload increasing I decided that their appeared to be no need for the site any longer.

I was wrong, with the e-mails I have received and looking at the sites which should have replaced mine it is clear that as all the replacement sites are trying to sell you something. Software houses providing a track and trace page to entice you to look at their software or a freight forwarder linking through to Traxon and thinking that is enough to provide basic tracking whilst using one supplier instead of the broad range of track and trace facilities. Good , clear, concise navigation around information pages specifically designed and targeted at the shipper is what Freightaid was, and is about.

I have used other freight forwarders resource sites but have always been frustrated with the styles and clutter of their websites. Finding one I like but then being forced to register to use certain sections. Why would a freight forwarders resource website need to know who I am. As long as people click on the ad's in order that the resource can remain free then the only reason for knowing who our visitors are is if they have constructive suggestions to improve the site.

Freightaid is back, will be bigger and stronger than ever with a commitment to remain a free resource site for shippers, freight forwarders, customs brokers and cargo agents alike.
