OfferUp/OfferDown™ and LoadItNow™

What is OfferUp/OfferDown™?

OfferUp/OfferDown™ is a revolutionary automated rate negotiation tool that allows shippers and carriers to engage in real-time, transparent bidding for freight loads. This tool eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional back-and-forth communication, offering speed, flexibility, and fairness.

How It Works:

  1. Smart Rate Calculation: Shippers post loads with a suggested rate determined by an intelligent algorithm that reflects market conditions.

  2. Comprehensive Load Information: Shippers provide all details upfront to eliminate ambiguity.

  3. Real-Time Bidding: Carriers submit counteroffers (increasing or decreasing the rate) via OfferUp/OfferDown™.

  4. Dynamic Updates: Negotiations continue until the timer runs out, with the lowest offer winning the contract.

  5. Instant Booking: Once an agreement is reached, the load is booked, and details are automatically shared.

Key Features:

  • Transparent rate adjustments visible to all parties.

  • Real-time notifications of counteroffers and rate changes.

  • Automated bidding system fosters trust and eliminates confusion.

What is LoadItNow™?

LoadItNow™ is designed for speed and efficiency, allowing carriers to instantly book loads at fixed rates without waiting for negotiations. It’s ideal for urgent shipments or carriers seeking quick, reliable opportunities.

How It Works:

  1. Fixed Rates for Speed: Shippers post loads with a predefined LoadItNow™ rate, slightly lower than the OfferUp/OfferDown™ rate, for carriers who prioritize speed over negotiation.

  2. Immediate Booking: Carriers view available loads and book them instantly if the rate is acceptable.

  3. Seamless Integration: All load details, including pickup times and requirements, are shared automatically upon booking.

Key Features:

  • Instant booking for urgent loads.

  • Real-time availability updates prevent double-booking.

  • Integrated with LoadBook™ for automatic documentation.

For Shippers:

  1. Flexibility and Control: Post loads with negotiable or fixed rates, adapting to specific needs and timelines.

  2. Cost Optimization: Competitive bidding ensures the best rates, reducing shipping expenses.

  3. Streamlined Processes: Faster contracting and automatic documentation save time and reduce errors.

For Carriers:
