What is a Freight Quotation?
A Freight Quotation, also known as a shipping quote or rate quote, is a written or verbal estimate provided by a shipping company, freight forwarder, or logistics provider to a customer or shipper. The quotation specifies the cost of transporting goods or cargo from one location to another based on the specified shipping requirements and services. Freight quotations typically include details such as the freight rate, transportation mode (air, sea, road, rail), estimated transit time, any applicable surcharges or additional fees, and the terms and conditions of the shipment.
Customers can request freight quotations from multiple carriers or logistics providers to compare rates and services before selecting the most suitable option for their shipping needs.
