Price Request

Understanding how to request and interpret pricing information

Overview

The Price Request feature allows you to obtain accurate pricing information for various vehicle types based on your specific transportation needs. This guide will help you understand the logic behind price requests and how to effectively use this feature.

Basic Price Request

At its core, a price request requires two essential pieces of information:

1. Loading location: The postal code and city name where the goods will be picked up.
2. Unloading location: The postal code and city name where the goods will be delivered.

When you provide these details, our system calculates and returns pricing information for all available vehicle that can service your route.

Refined Price Request

To get more tailored pricing, you can optionally include details about your shipment:

• Items: Specify the quantity, dimensions (length, width, height), and weight of the goods you need to transport.

When you include item details, our system filters the results to show pricing only for vehicles suitable for your specific cargo.

How It Works

1. Submit Request: Send a price request with the required location information and optional item details.
2. Calculation: Our system processes your request, taking into account factors such as distance, vehicle availability, and cargo specifications (if provided).
3. Response: You receive a comprehensive pricing breakdown for each suitable vehicle type.
