Order tender |Load scheduling
Order tendering is an initial stage of the transportation process. At this stage, the broker will ask you to provide you with all the necessary information about your load, including contact information, addresses, freight weight, type, dimensions, etc. When the broker collects all the data, the next step is calling a freight company, a carrier or a 3PL to schedule the load. This is called load tendering. Also, the broker will ask you to mention handling conditions, commodity type, and other important data.

Our customers deserve the highest level of support, and we work tirelessly to maintain those standards. When you choose to work with our team, know that you are consistently choosing quality and excellence. Customer service is at the heart of everything that we do.
Transit
While your freight is in transit, a 3PL tracks and manages it through the TMS. With advanced software, shippers have complete transparency into the shipping process and get regular updates. With freight brokers and a third-party logistics company, shippers stay up to date with their freight status and can be sure everything goes smoothly.
Unloading | Billing
During the unloading process, the consignee signs the bill of lading. Once the carrier confirms successful unloading and completes the necessary paperwork, the broker gets the paperwork and invoices the shipper.
The final stage of the freight shipping process is billing when the fright broker issues and invoice to the shipper and the shipper pays the bill.
