I'm struggling to find any reference to anywhere that this is a correct usage, and not just somebody mis-hearing "Free On Board". The only reference I can find online for a definition is to UCC § 2-319, but that only defines "Free on Board".

I also found this court case which is pretty clear that Freight On Board is not an industry term in the US.

So assuming nobody objects in the next few days I will change this article to explain that Freight On Board doesn't mean anything, and the correct term is always Free On Board.
