Freight offers

What is an Offer?

An offer is an offering or request for a freight transportation service. Shippers publish their freight and carriers publish their vehicles. When your offer is published, the system automatically searches for offers that match your offer. Users can view published offers as well as post their own.

There are 2 types of offers:

1. Freight. You are a shipper and are looking for carriers.

2. Vehicle. You have free transport and you are looking for a freight transportation offer.

All offers can be public and private. This is regulated using checkboxes when creating an offer.

Also, if you have placed an offer privately, then your offer will only be visible to you and your partners from the private exchange; such offers will be indicated as «Private».

An interactive window to help you figure out how to do this (you can scroll through it):

Text guide:

1

Click «Create an Offer» in the upper left corner of the screen.

Select which contact methods will be displayed when opening an offer: phone number and/or email address. You can select two or leave one optional. Both cannot be removed.

4

Please provide the name of your freight (e.g. «lumber», «PET bottles», «glass containers»). This field is optional.

5

In the «Cargo type and package» field, you can indicate to the carrier how your cargo will be packaged.

Once the desired type has been selected, the «Cargo quantity» field will appear, in which you can specify the number of pallets, boxes, barrels, etc. that you want to transport.

If you do not know the type of packaging, skip this field. If the type you need is not in the proposed list, specify your special type of cargo or packaging in the comment to the offer.

6

Please indicate the weight of the cargo in tons and its exact or approximate volume (these fields are obligatory).

7

Please indicate the hazard class of the cargo, or skip this field if your cargo is not hazardous; «not dangerous» is set by default.

8

Also, if desired, indicate the length, width and height of the transported cargo in the package or the parameters of the free volume of the vehicle you require. These fields are not obligatory.

9

If you need to maintain a certain temperature of the cargo during its transportation, check the box «Temperature control» and in the fields that open, specify the minimum and maximum values of the temperature range.

10

In the «Shipping mode» field, select the type you need. There can only be one: FTL, LTL or project transportation.

Specify the «Vehicle category».

Specify «Truck body type». This field is obligatory, the list of options offered in this field depends on your selection in «Vehicle category». You can specify either a group or groups of types, such as «Closed», or a specific type.

If necessary, please provide additional information in the «Note» section.

11

In the «Rate and payment» section, select the offer publication mode, «Bargain», «Auction» or «Ad». *Bidding mode is how you accept bids from carriers.

Select «Bargain» if you want to receive offers on terms and rates of transportation. Please indicate whether you are willing to accept bids from participants operating under a taxation system different from the one you are offering.

Select «Auction» if you want to select the winning bids at the best cost.

Select «Ad» if you offer a flat rate or prefer to negotiate shipping terms and costs individually.

12

Next, select or specify the time you give the winner to confirm your bid (during this time, the winner must confirm their intention to pick up and transport your cargo, the maximum possible period is 168 hours).

13

Proceed to the payment section where you can specify your desired terms and conditions.

14

Specify payment terms («By original documents», «By copies of documents», «On delivery», «Other conditions»).

15

Payment terms and methods («Bank transfer», «Cash», «Card», «Mixed», «Other method»).

If the payment method you need is not listed, please indicate it in the comments.

If you offer a pre-payment, indicate its amount as a percentage of the total cost of transportation.

16

Next, in the «Access and privacy» section, select where you want to place your offer:

• Only on public exchange. Placing a freight offer on a public exchange allows absolutely all Roolz participants to view and respond to it.

• Only on private exchange. Placing a freight offer on a private exchange allows only your partners to view the offer and respond to it.

• On both public and private exchange. Select both placement options if you want to make the offer available to current partners and to also attract the attention of other participants. In this case, when publishing an offer in «Bargain» mode, your partners and public exchange participants will see each other's bids in the offer itself.

• Duplicate on the public exchange. Select private exchange posting and «Duplicate on public exchange» option if you want to post an offer on both private and a public exchange. In such a way participants in different spaces do not see each other's bids. This option allows you to post the main offer on the private exchange and the connected one on the public exchange.

17

Specify route, i.e. specify the date, time, as well as loading and unloading points and methods.

Loading and unloading points may be populated areas, districts, regions and countries.

If your geo object is not on the list, try expanding the geography to the area, and indicate the item you need in the comment to the offer.

If your route involves additional loading, unloading, customs clearance or travel through a specific location, you can specify this, as well as the date, time and location of the additional stop, by clicking «Add a waypoint» between the «Pickup» and «Delivery» sections.
