FreightBid runs the whole bid cycle: build the bid, invite carriers, collect rates, vet carriers, compare, and award. FreightBid is in early access; this page shows what is available and what is coming next.
Paste or upload your lanes: origin, destination, equipment, weekly volume, and service dates. Set a deadline and choose which carriers to invite. FreightBid sends each carrier a bid request with a private link and reminds anyone who has not answered before the deadline.
Paste from a spreadsheet or upload a CSV. Start from our free freight bid template.
Import your carriers with MC or DOT numbers and contact emails, then reuse them on every bid.
Automatic reminders go to carriers who have not bid yet, so you are not chasing replies by hand.
Use the same flow for a one-off spot bid or a multi-lane contract RFP.
Carriers open the link in their bid request and enter a rate for each lane they want, with optional transit time and notes. There is no account to create and no app to download. Each carrier sees only its own bid.
FreightBid checks each bidding carrier's operating authority and insurance status against FMCSA records. Carriers that fail the check are flagged and excluded from recommendations until someone on your team reviews them.
See all bids for each lane side by side, ranked by rate and carrier standing. Bids far above or below your own past rates for that lane are flagged. When you approve an award, FreightBid records it and notifies the winning and non-winning carriers.
FreightBid never awards freight on its own and never shares one carrier's rate with another.
Compare bids against market rate data, not just your own history.
Score carriers on on-time performance, claims, and responsiveness across bids.
Track awarded rates and get alerts before contracts expire.
Send awarded lanes to TruckFlow for dispatch and tracking.
