Question Please?
Does FreightIntel show live parking spaces?
No. Parking sites are surveyed or mapped records, and capacity is a historical figure with its own source date. Live occupancy is not available, and nothing is estimated to look live.
Where does the data come from?
Named public sources: DfT Street Manager for roadworks, Traffic Wales alerts, National Highways WebTRIS traffic counts, DfT port statistics, the government Fuel Finder service and weekly DESNZ fuel prices, AIS ship positions through AISStream, OpenStreetMap for HGV parking, and Contracts Finder and Find a Tender notices. Every record carries its source and observation time. The full list with licences is on the data sources page.
Is FreightIntel a load board?
No. FreightIntel does not list loads, broker work or take a cut. Demand signals are inferred from cited public evidence and are never presented as bookable loads. The jobs search lists driver and transport manager vacancies from an upstream jobs service, not freight.
Who is FreightIntel for?
UK HGV drivers and transport managers. You choose a role when you register. Drivers get roadworks, ports, parking, fuel and chat; the transport manager fleet view is still a preview.
Does FreightIntel predict when ships will arrive at a port?
No. For eight freight ports it shows live AIS ship positions with the time each was observed, plus DfT port statistics. A ship position is not an arrival promise, and no arrival estimate is published.
Is my email address visible to other drivers in chat?
No. Chat uses a handle you choose. Other users see the handle only. You can report any message and block any user, and a blocked user cannot message or call you.
Does the app track my location?
No background tracking. A position is only sent when a driver taps to share it for their assigned vehicle, and positions older than 24 hours are not shown. See the privacy notice for details.
If the roadworks list is empty, is my route clear?
Not necessarily. An empty result means nothing matching was found in the data we hold. Permit dates are what was filed, not proof a road is closed or open right now. Check signs and live traffic before you go.
