What happens after a shipper accepts your quote?

• Once the shipper accepts your quote, the shipper’s contact information will be visible to you.

• You can directly contact the shipper (via email, phone, or Fleet’s chat feature) to finalize all the details of the shipment.

Fleet soon will provide Document Management feature for shippers and freight forwarders to work on the documents together. Stay tuned for our update in August!
