How Freight Companies Use Quotes
Freight quotes are typically based on shipment weight, dimensions, distance, freight class, and service type (FTL, LTL, intermodal). A TL (full truckload) for 1,000 miles might run $2,000–$4,000; an LTL quote depends on freight class and linear feet of trailer needed.
Brokers and carriers use quotes to lock in pricing before a load is tendered. A formal quote protects against fuel surcharges or accessorial charges not disclosed upfront. Many shippers request itemized freight quotes so they can compare lane rates across carriers.
Eonebill's freight quote templates include fields for pickup and delivery addresses, commodity details, weight, freight class, and all-in pricing. Print or email directly to shippers.

FAQ
What is the difference between FTL and LTL freight quotes?
FTL (Full Truckload) quotes cover an entire trailer reserved for one shipment — typically 10,000+ lbs or volume that fills a truck. LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) quotes combine multiple shipments on one trailer, priced per hundredweight (CWT) based on freight class. FTL quotes are usually flat-rate per load; LTL quotes vary by weight and class.
How is a freight quote calculated?
Freight quotes are calculated using: distance (base rate per mile), weight (heavier loads cost more per mile up to a point), freight class (lower classes like 50 are cheaper per hundredweight than higher classes like 300), and accessorials (liftgate, residential, inside delivery). Fuel surcharges are typically passed through as a separate line item.
