Road freight quoting

Price road freight from your lane, zone and equipment rules.

Freitt reads the load request, finds the applicable road rate, adds fuel and the accessorials your sheet lists, and prepares a traceable quote for your team to approve.

No zone in this sheet covers it. A neighbouring zone is not a substitute — draft the inquiry to your haulier?

01Before

Every haulier writes their sheet a different way.

One partner prices by postcode zone, another per kilometre, a third by named lane with a minimum. None of that is unusual, and none of it fits a single formula — which is why road quoting tends to stay in the head of whoever has read all three sheets.

  1. 01Work out what equipment the load actually needs from a prose description.
  2. 02Decide which of your haulage sheets covers that route.
  3. 03Work out whether that sheet is priced by zone, by distance or by lane.
  4. 04Look up the figure, then check the minimum charge for that basis.
  5. 05Add fuel at whatever the current percentage is.
  6. 06Add the accessorials the customer will need and hope none are forgotten.
  7. 07Explain to a colleague, later, how you arrived at the number.
02Workflow

Priced the way your haulage sheet is written.

Zone, distance or named lane — the basis comes from your sheet rather than from an assumption about how road should be priced.

  1. 01Read the load.Collection and delivery points, pieces, weight and dimensions, dates, and anything that dictates equipment.
  2. 02Establish the equipment.The vehicle or trailer type the load implies, taken from the request rather than defaulted.
  3. 03Find the applicable rate.From the valid line on the sheet that covers that route, on the basis that sheet is written on — lane, zone or distance.
  4. 04Apply the minimum.Where the minimum charge for that basis beats the calculated figure, it is applied and shown as the reason.
  5. 05Add fuel and accessorials.As their own lines, exactly as your sheet lists them, rather than absorbed into a single haulage figure.
  6. 06Draft with the working shown.Your format and terms, with the source sheet, the row and the rule applied recorded against the figure.
03Road, worked through

The basis your sheet is actually written on.

A road figure is only checkable if you can see which sheet it came from and which basis that sheet uses. This is one opened up: the equipment, the route and the zone or distance it resolved to, the rate line and its validity, the minimum where it applied, and the accessorials as separate lines.

04When it cannot

What happens when something is missing.

This is the half of automation worth interrogating. Freitt says so rather than filling the gap — no invented rate, no assumed weight, nothing sent unread.

Equipment unclearThe load could need a tail lift.It is asked rather than assumed. Equipment is the difference between a competitive quote and a job that cannot be performed.
Off-networkThe delivery point is outside your zones.Flagged, with an inquiry to the haulier drafted. A neighbouring zone is not a substitute for a rate.
Minimum appliesA short lane falls under the minimum.The minimum is applied and named as the reason, so a per-kilometre figure that does not match the total never reaches the customer.
Missing accessorialThe sheet has no rate for a requested service.Raised as a gap rather than priced at zero, which is the way an accessorial quietly comes out of your margin.

    The rating basis is read from your own sheet.
  • 03
    Minimums are applied and named as the reason.

06Fit

Use this when

  • Road rates come from several hauliers, written on different bases.
  • You quote pre-carriage and on-carriage alongside air or ocean legs.
  • Minimum charges on short lanes are being missed.
  • Accessorials are being forgotten and absorbed into margin.

Look elsewhere when

  • You need a transport management system to plan, dispatch and track vehicles.
  • You need live spot-market haulage rates rather than your own agreed sheets.
  • You are looking for dock-door or yard slot capacity management — Freitt Schedule books appointments, it does not manage dock inventory.
  • Pricing is negotiated per load by phone rather than taken from a sheet.

Road freight quoting, answered.

Something else on your mind? Bring it to a live quote session — thirty minutes, no deck, on one of your own RFQs.

No — that is the normal case. Each sheet is mapped on the basis it is actually written on, whether that is a named lane, a postcode zone or a distance band, and the quote says which was used.

From the request: the pieces, weight, dimensions and anything in the description that dictates a vehicle or trailer type. Where it is genuinely ambiguous it asks rather than defaulting, because equipment is the difference between a competitive quote and a job you cannot perform.

They are added as their own lines exactly as your sheet lists them. Freitt does not maintain a fuel index of its own or invent charge types your sheets do not carry.

Yes. Pre-carriage and on-carriage appear as their own lines on the quote, priced from your haulage sheets, alongside the main leg.

No. Freitt Schedule handles pickup and delivery appointment requests over email and supported portals. It is not a warehouse dock-door capacity scheduler and does not manage slot inventory.

Freitt Schedule handles pickup and delivery appointment requests over email and supported portals, and chases the confirmations. It is not a dock-door capacity scheduler.
