BTS of Shipping New CargoRex Updates

Building a logistics search engine sounded cute… right up until I was elbows-deep in dev tickets, spam signups, and 2,000+ business listings.In this behind-the-scenes episode of Everything is Logistics, I’m breaking down what we’ve actually shipped on CargoRex over the last six months, why the site has been such a giant pain in the ass (in a good way), and what Plus and Premium members get for their money.What we cover:What CargoRex actually is: a search engine for logistics associations, tech, creators, services, and events so you stop guessing on what tools and communities deserve your time.  How the new listing manager works so your CargoRex profile can act like a one-page website for your company.  Verification badges, quarterly update reminders, and a rebuilt search engine that finally doesn’t suck.  Why we added categories like tariffs tools, CDL schools, and space logistics--and how they’re curated from drivers, practitioners, and the freight nerds already in this community.  The not-so-fun part: spam and fraud protection, email/domain verification, and keeping the data clean enough to actually trust.  A breakdown of the Free, Plus, and Premium plans, including page-level analytics, lead-gen forms, promo campaigns across Everything is Logistics, and upcoming panel spots for Premium members.  Why I kept CargoRex bootstrapped, how I’m funding it through the podcast and Digital Dispatch, and how your feedback is shaping the roadmap.Who this episode is for:Freight tech founders and marketing teams who want another distribution channel that isn’t just “yet another website rebuild.”  Associations, media, and creators who want their work found by the right logistics audience.  Buyers and operators who are tired of random LinkedIn DMs and just want a clean place to research vendors, events, and content. -----------------------------------------THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!SPI Logistics has been a Day 1 supporter of this podcast which is why we're proud to promote them in every episode.
