Your first week: five things brokers ask us

Five things brokers tell us on their first call after signing, and what is actually true.

Part 1 · Set up your account

The right people invited, freight split the way your desk works, and your own carrier vetting still in charge.

Part 2 · Price it first

A rate on the lane before you quote it: in the app, in Excel for a whole RFP, or through the API.

Part 3 · Post it right

A posting carriers actually bid on, and the three habits worth building from day one.

Part 4 · Work your bids

Every bid answered, a carrier booked, and loads flowing straight out of your TMS.
