A useful freight enquiry is operational: origin, destination, service, commodity, dimensions, timing and special requirements.

What the agent should collect

  • Origin and destination.
  • FTL, LTL, refrigerated, drayage, warehousing, fulfillment or another service.
  • Commodity, dimensions and approximate weight.
  • Pickup and delivery timing.
  • Special handling and contact details.

Rates depend on live capacity, lanes, fuel and accessorials. Unless connected to an approved rating system, the agent should qualify and route rather than fabricate a quote.

For 3PL and fulfillment, swap shipment fields for SKU count, monthly order volume, storage needs and required services.
