Negotiations

In the Tendered/Accept Loads tab click on the arrow next to the load number to open the load details and negotiation functions.

1. Ask Price  - shows the original offered price.
2. Proposed Price - shows your most recent proposed price and provides a history of the negotiations. Click on the information icon for the history details.
3. Bid Guidance - displays a Minimum Bid Increment and/or Book Now Price from the customer.
4. Propose New Price 
5. Book Now Price

To extend a new price offer to the customer, click Propose New Price. Enter the proposed price and click Submit New Price to save the price and send to the customer.

Upon submitting a new price, the Proposed Price fields will update. Additionally, the Price displayed on the load list will update to the current offer and a blue bar will appear below the load to indicate active negotiations.

To agree to the Book Now Price, click on the Book Now Price button. A confirmation window will open. Click Confirm to continue and send the updated negotiation to the customer. The Book Now Price button is only enabled if no other price offers have been made. If Propose Price has been used to make an offer to your customer, the book now option is unavailable.

Upon confirmation of the book now price, the Proposed Price and Current Price fields will update. 

Negotiations can continue until the customer has accepted the price and assigned a carrier to the load.
