Shipper Services and Costs
All services are FREE to the shipper. Shippers Choice is the site for your carriers and brokers to bid on your freight postings. This is a program that lets you create a network of carriers / brokers to auction your freight off. No more global emails, faxes, or phone calls to receive bids or negotiate rates. You will see and review the bids from your desktop from all your carriers / brokers in one neat page. All information on the truck such as current location, equipment type, pallets, team driver, and more will be displayed with the bid. You pick the rate and truck that best fits your needs.
Invite the carriers and brokers that you are working with now to join your network. It is free to your carrier and brokers for the first month. Then it is a $25.00 monthly fee for each carrier or broker to bid on your freight shipments. But your subscription will always be free. Once you have determined the winning bid the program will generate the necessary load confirmation agreement between your company and the carrier/broker. The program generates a pickup and delivery schedule that contains the necessary information for the dispatch and delivery. The load is ready for tracking in seconds after the acceptance of the winning bid. The carrier/broker can enter tracking as often as required 24/7. Log in from anywhere any time.
SAVE MONEY ON FREIGHT! The difference with our site is all carriers / brokers get to see the lowest bid on your freight. They have the opportunity to bid as many times as needed to stay competitive with the lowest bid. When you post an email is sent to each registered user in your group that a request for freight bid has been posted. New bids show up on your desktop and can give you an optional email notice for any received bids. You save on time because you do not have to receive, arrange and determine the lowest bid. You save on bids because each bidder is aware of the lowest bid and can continue to bid down if they are really in need of this freight shipment to position a truck. The market will keep the bid in check. Shippers Choice also has a database of over 6,000 approved carriers that would like the chance to bid on your freight. This is an optional service that is still no cost to you. Allowing more carriers to bid on your freight can help lower the rate with the competition.
