Carrier Workflow adding Accessorial Rates
When invited to bid on RFPs, carriers will have the option to add their accessorial rates from their bid invitations by clicking on the Accessorials tab.
They will need to submit these rates along with the bids they submit on the Lanes list. If the carrier does not include any rates on the Accessorials tab, the system will warn them before they confirm and submit their rates.
Carriers have the option to add comments on the text fields under Notes next to each accessorial. They will also have visibility to the Last Rate they submitted and can update the rate if necessary by adding their new rate.
