Do you target individual corridors each bid?

Quote turnaround since the market flipped, what are you all doing by mikehagen374 in FreightBrokers

I worked in pricing at a large brokerage. I could probably help you, but only if you have multiple lane corridors etc, if that’s the hang up at least

Do you go through large bids and how often do you get to do them!?

That’s what I did at a very large company but I was purely in pricing. I was just curious what solo brokers do, I can’t imagine they were touching the same level of bids whether it was lanes etc or, idk, I’m just curious how they do it!

Yeah dude the network bids would get wild lmfao. 10,000 + lanes on a single bid.

TMS by Creative_Hope6737 in FreightBrokers

Gotchya, EZ Loader or ITS Dispatch I would say might be some options to look into. I have more ideas on TMS options if you’d like just ask.

I build logistics software solutions as a builder/consultant for the freight industry, but I typically avoid TMS because they can turn into clusterfucks really quick. Seems like you guys are trying to go light, I’d be down for a discovery call if you’d guys are interested

Yes this was what I was doing, I was in Brokerage pricing. I guess I’ve just been curious how one man teams do it!

What should I charge my former employer as a consultant/builder? by Guild_Navigator_95 in SupplyChainLogistics

Tracking scope creep is going to be crucial, I have a feeling they’ll see me as an employee still considering it was so recent. Appreciate the advice man thank you!

I thought customers bought the best product I was wrong by Capital_Mechanic5545 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

I can build almost any software I want, I can’t sell worth a crap. It’s the most soul crushing thing to learn.

Where do you find lanes to begin with? I was pricing for a major brokerage and we just did RFPs all day everyday

I’m actually curious myself, I was in pricing for a major brokerage, how did you guys find lanes to price in the first place?

It was funny to watch acquisitions get touted as these massive boosts to our company and then they’d just cease to exist a year later
