FreightStaxBot

FreightStaxBot visits the public websites of manufacturers, warehouses and distributors so freight brokers can see what a company ships and who to contact about it.

What it reads

• At most three public pages per site: the home page, and a contact or about page if there is one.
• Business contact details on those pages, such as a shipping or logistics email address and the main phone number, and words that describe the freight (refrigerated, flatbed, hazardous materials).
• Whether the site has a carrier setup or routing guide page.

It doesn't log in, fill in forms, follow links beyond those pages, or keep copies of the pages.

How often

Once a month at most for each site, one request a second. It identifies itself as FreightStaxBot/1.0 (+https://freightstax.com/bot).
