  description: '# Overview


    The Rate Quote API provides a standard way to request freight rate quotes for

    Full Truckload (FTL) shipments. It enables shippers, carriers, and third parties

    to exchange rate information in a consistent, digitized format, reducing manual

    processes and improving pricing transparency across the supply chain.


    # Value Proposition


    ## Shipper


    Shippers can submit a single standardized rate quote request and receive

    responses from one or more carriers, allowing them to compare rates, transit

    times, and service options without managing carrier-specific integrations.


    ## Carrier


    Carriers can receive rate quote requests in a standard format, simplifying

    connectivity with a large number of shippers and third parties while reducing

    onboarding costs and manual quoting processes.


    ## 3rd Party


    Third parties such as brokers and 3PLs can embed the Rate Quote API into their

    platforms to retrieve spot and contract rates programmatically, enabling

    automated load matching and competitive rate shopping.
