What to include in your freight quote comparison

• Keep the lane in context

  Keep lane, mode, weight basis, surcharge, validity and quote source together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  Two freight quotes use different chargeable weights. Display the difference before comparing their totals and retain the original source and validity dates.

• Keep quote source visible

  Keep the surcharge and validity differences visible in the comparison.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the freight coordinator a working view and the shipping reviewer a review view. Keep lane and mode attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
