Freight Quote Request
The process of inviting service providers / carriers to quote on a specific shipment. Often applicable for one-off shipments that require handling outside of regular contracts, which means that there is no price available and/or yet quoted for that shipment. Although many shippers have contracts and rate cards in place, there is often still a need to have the flexibility to make use of the spot market. Through a quote request, shippers can easily request the price for such a shipment from new and/or existing business partners / carriers. Disclaimer
