Steps to Broker A Load From Point A to Point B

  1. Broker Agents will need to contacts shipper
  2. Broker Agents will provide shipper freight quotes and negotiation of the price
  3. Shipper tenders load to broker
  4. Documents need to be sent to the Broker Lead to approve credit on Shipper (if first time shipper with us)
  5. Broker post load to load board (DAT or Truckstop load board)
  6. Broker finds carrier to haul load

 

Steps and Procedures

  1. Get in contact with shipper and set up and create a shipper rate for the load that they will provide us.

 

  1. After generating the shipper rate with the amount of money that the shipper agrees with to move that load. You must send the shipper rate to the shipper so they can sign the paperwork and send it back to us. Upon them sending us back the shipper rate signed it is important that they send also a document called (TENDER) this document gives us the authority to move that load. And these two documents are mandatory and needed to move on.

 

  1. After you get the documents back save them in a folder labeled with the company date and the shipper rate and Tender. Very important that this paperwork is documented and saved in a separate folder

 

  1. Log in the Ascend TMS and post the load from there with the description of what the load is going to be picked up and delivery, the weigh and how much are we willing to pay for the load.

 

  1. After posting the load on the load board start calling carriers with the right type of truck because for certain shippers there are different types of trucks, they will be needing to haul the load (reefer-Dry Van and Flatbed) so make sure when you call the carriers, they have the right equipment to haul the load. Depending on what the load is.

 

  1. We find the carrier for you and you only need to update the data base in Ascend TMS for that load.
