After a shipper sends bid invitations, selected carriers will receive an email for participating in the quote. This article will provide instructions on viewing and submitting a bid for a quote.

A login is not required to bid on spot quotes from ShipperGuide shippers.

To view the bid:

To submit a bid:

1. Enter the proposed flat rate or the rate per mile for the lane. The system will automatically calculate the flat rate or rate per mile if either value is entered.

Flat Rate = rate per mile * miles

Rate per Mile = flat rate / miles
