Answer
Direct Tenders
You can perform a direct tender to offer the load to aspecific carrier. A direct tender is not considered one of the standardtendering methods.
You have the following options for performing a directtender:
- Use the Override Tender page to offer the shipment to a non-profiledcarrier which does not subscribe to Sterling TMS.
- Use the Override Tender page to offer the shipment to a carrieryou do business with in Sterling TMS. You entera total flat rate for the shipment which overrides any rate thatis stored in your carrier contract. The carrier does not receive theshipment rate in the tender.
- Submit a shipment through data exchange with the carrier alreadyassigned.
- Use the Tender All feature to offer multiple shipments to thesame carrier.
Tip: To find out whether a shipment has used a directtender select the shipment on the Shipments taband click Notes/History. The History tabincludes a Direct Tender event.
A directtender is different from a manual tender:
- Use a manual tender to offer the load to a single carrier usingthe contracted rates and Route Guide settings.
- Use a direct tender to offer the load to a single carrier andoverride the contracted rates and Route Guide settings.
