Bids & Events

Last updated: October 6, 2025

Q1. What is a Bid?

A1. A Bid means a carrier has expressed a rate they would haul the load for.

It can be either:

  • A posted rate acceptance (carrier agrees to the listed price), or

  • A counter-offer (carrier proposes a different rate).

Example:

  • Scenario 1: Carrier accepts posted rate ($1,200) → Bid $1,200 logged to TMS.

  • Scenario 2: Carrier counter-offers ($1,350) → Bid $1,350 logged to TMS for review.

Q2. When are Bid events sent?

A2. Bid events are sent immediately after the call is complete.

You do not need to log into the FleetWorks portal to accept a bid for an event payload to be sent.

Q3. What information is included in a Bid event?

A3. The Bid event includes:

  • Carrier name and contact information

  • Load and lane details

  • Offered rate (accepted or counter-offer)

  • Timestamp and source of the call
