In addition to the spot market loads and overflow freight that shippers must find carriers for, Real Time Freight also understand the benefits of securing dedicated freight carriers for regular or seasonal lanes.

Requesting Lane Quotes

Real Time Freight offers a Lane Quote application within the shipper’s load board, which captures all of the additional information pertaining to a lane contract versus a spot-market load transaction. The same efficiencies of the private and public load boards from Real Time Freight apply. Shippers post the lane quote once, immediately communicating that lane to the vast network of pre-qualified carriers. Having multiple carriers all submit offers through the closed-loop system helps the shipper organize and prioritize the offers, to assist in their decision making process.

Submitting Quotes for Regular Lanes

Within the public load board for the carriers, the lane quotes will stand out from the other loads by being high-lighted in orange. Both the search functionality and the on-board filters allow for quick and easy narrowing of results to include only lane quotes as well. Submitting an offer on a lane is no different than submitting an offer on a load. The same intuitive interface is used for capturing all relevant information and notes regarding the lane.
