  1. Broker, carrier and load number

    Fill in both companies with their MC numbers and contacts, the load number the carrier will quote on the invoice, and the driver, truck and trailer once they are assigned.

  2. Describe the load

    Equipment, commodity, weight, pieces or pallets, miles, and the temperature for reefer freight.

  3. List every stop

    One line per pickup and delivery, in order, with the facility and address, the date and the time or appointment.

  4. Spell out the rate and terms

    Linehaul, fuel and any agreed accessorials on their own lines; the total updates as you type. Add payment terms, detention terms and special instructions, then both parties sign.

What is a rate confirmation?

A rate confirmation (rate con) is the document a broker sends a carrier for one load. It confirms the pickup and delivery, the equipment, the agreed rate and the terms. Once both sign it, it is the agreement for that load under the broker-carrier agreement between them.

Who sends the rate confirmation?

The broker sends it to the carrier after they agree on the rate, and the carrier signs and returns it before the load is picked up.

What should a carrier check before signing?

That the rate and every accessorial match what was agreed, the stops and appointment times are right, and the detention, layover and payment terms are acceptable. Anything not on the rate confirmation is hard to bill later.

Why does the load number matter?

The broker matches the carrier's invoice to the load by its number. Put the same number on the invoice, and send the signed rate confirmation with the BOL or proof of delivery to get paid.

Can software read a rate confirmation for me?

Yes. Drop a rate confirmation into Yolda and Yoldaᴬᴵ fills in the stops, rate, miles and customer for a new load. You review the details and approve them before anything is saved.

After delivery, bill it with the free trucking invoice template, or see how Yolda's trucking dispatch software builds the load from a rate confirmation.
