How a Freight Bid Works in FreightBid

1

Post Your Lanes

Paste or upload lanes with origin, destination, equipment, volume, and dates. Set a bid deadline.

2

Invite Your Carriers

Each carrier gets a private link and submits rates per lane. No account, no app, no training.

3

Compare and Award

See every bid ranked by rate and carrier standing. Approve the award and FreightBid notifies winners and non-winners.

Built for the Way Freight Bids Actually Run

📨

Bid Requests in Minutes

Turn a lane list into a bid request for your whole carrier network, with deadlines and automatic reminders to carriers who have not answered.

🔗

No-Login Carrier Bid Page

Carriers open a link and enter rates per lane. More carriers respond when bidding takes two minutes.

✅

FMCSA Authority Checks

Every bidding carrier's MC/DOT authority and insurance status is checked so you never award to a carrier you should not use.

📊

Ranked Bid Comparison

See all responses per lane, ranked by rate and carrier standing, with outliers flagged against your own past rates.

🔒

Confidential by Design

One carrier never sees another carrier's rate. Bid data stays inside your account.

🤝

You Make the Award

FreightBid recommends; a person on your team approves every award. Winners and non-winners are notified when you do.
