Frontier for Brokers load on the road: the lane, shipper total, carrier pay, miles, pickup and delivery, the next step and a running-late note ready to send.
The rate confirmation a carrier opens from the broker's email: the agreed rate, the pickup and delivery, and a form to sign it.

How it works, step by step.

  1. Step 1

    Book the carrier. The rate con is built.

    Once the carrier is booked, Frontier builds the rate con from the load: your letterhead, the stops in order with their numbers and times, the trailer, the rate and your terms. Send it with one button, and see when it's opened.

    A booked load in Frontier for Brokers: $2,150 to Barren River Freight, a Send the rate con button, and the paperwork list showing the rate con sent and waiting on a signature.
  2. Step 2

    An email that reads like one.

    The carrier gets a short email from your rep with the rate and the stops, the PDF attached, and one button to review and sign. Their replies come straight back to your load.

    The rate con email on a carrier's phone from Nate Collins at Bluegrass Freight Brokerage: rate con for load 1048, Lebanon, TN to Atlanta, GA, with the PDF attached and the rate and pickup laid out.
    What the carrier gets
  3. Step 3

    The PDF, ready in seconds.

    A clean one-page rate confirmation: broker and carrier, equipment and freight, each stop with its appointment and references, the carrier pay and your terms. Once it's signed, the signature block shows who signed, when, and from where.

    A signed rate confirmation PDF from Bluegrass Freight Brokerage for load 1048: carrier Barren River Freight, dry van, pickup in Lebanon, TN and delivery in Atlanta, GA, $2,150 carrier pay, five terms, and an electronic signature by Mike Barren.
    The rate con PDF, signed
  4. Step 4

    They sign on their phone.

    The agreed rate at the top, the stops in order, your terms folded up so the signature is right there. They type their name and title and sign, and fill in the driver, truck and trailer for you.

    The rate con a carrier signs on their phone: $2,150.00 agreed rate all in, the pickup and delivery, the terms folded up, and boxes for their full name and title.
    What the carrier opens
  5. Step 5

    Signed, and the driver is on the load.

    The signed copy is emailed back to the carrier and filed on the load. The driver's name and phone, the truck and the trailer they filled in sit on the load for your team.

    A booked load with the driver and truck filled in: Nate Collins, phone, truck 114 and trailer 53118, beside the rate con status and the button to mark it picked up.
  6. Step 6

    PODs, checked before they bill.

    When the driver or carrier sends the POD, it waits for you here. Open it, crop it, accept it, or send it back with what's wrong. Nothing bills until you accept it.

    Frontier for Brokers PODs to review: a POD photo from the driver and a PDF from the carrier, each with Open, Crop and Accept, and a box to say what's wrong and send it back.

Also built in.

Revised rate cons

Change the rate or a stop, and a revised rate con goes out showing what changed.

TONU and extras

A truck ordered and not used gets its own confirmation. Detention, lumpers and other extras are tracked both ways.

Detention from the stop times

Frontier works out how long the truck sat at each stop and suggests the detention. You add it in one tap.

Bills of lading

Print a BOL for the load with the freight, the stops and signature boxes for shipper, driver and receiver.

PODs by link

Ask the carrier for the POD with a link. They scan or upload it, and it lands on the load.

A check at the dock

Before a POD is filed, Frontier looks for the receiver's signature and a readable page, and tells the driver while they're still there.

Does the carrier need a Frontier account to sign?

No. The carrier opens the link from the email on any phone or computer, reads it and signs. The signed PDF is emailed to them, so they can save it with their paperwork.
