How to use Digital Quotations for Carriers

1. Once a forwarder has sent a Quotation Request, the carrier will receive a notification in TrustedTrucks or via email.

    

2. If the notification comes via TrustedTrucks, the carrier will click on it and then be directed to the Quotation Request Details page. If the Carrier clicks on the link in the email notification, he/she will be directed to the Quotation Request Details page. From this page, the carrier will be able to see what the freight is and where it needs to be picked up from and delivered to as well as additional information provided by the forwarder.

    

3. From the same page, the carrier can create a quote and send it to the forwarder. All the carrier has to do is enter a price, leave an optional message and click “send quote”. The forwarder will then receive a notification of the quote, in the TrustedTrucks app and via email.

    

4. If the forwarder accepts the quote, the carrier will be notified and asked to confirm the order. Once the carrier has clicked “confirm” a legally binding contract has been created between the carrier and forwarder. Additionally, upon confirmation, a tour PDF will be created and available for the carrier to download. 

Note, once the carrier has confirmed the order, every other carrier that has provided a quote for this order too, will be notified that it is no longer available. This will help these carriers to manage their resources better.
