Including comments with your quote offers

When you submit a quote on Evotrux, you can add a short comment alongside your price. This is your chance to provide context, highlight flexibility, or start a conversation with the shipper.

Comments can be used to explain what’s included in your rate, note availability, flag assumptions, or let the shipper know the quote is negotiable. You can also use them to request to join the shipper’s network or to point out optional services you offer.

A clear comment can help your quote stand out, reduce back-and-forth, and improve your chances of winning the shipment.

Some examples:

• Confirm your assumptions
  “Based on live load, standard dock hours, no detention included.”

• Advise if your rate is flexible
  “Rate listed is a starting point, open to negotiation to make this work”

• Request to be added to their network
  “We would be happy to provide you service for all your shipments”

• Flag availability or timing
  “Truck available tomorrow morning” or “Rate valid for 48 hours.”

• Highlight service strengths
  “Dedicated unit, no transloading” or “Experienced with northern / remote lanes.”

• Call out optional services
  “Liftgate available if needed” or “Team driver option available.”

• Note pricing variables
  “Fuel surcharge subject to change” or “Rate adjusts if weight exceeds X.”

• Indicate flexibility
  “Open to partial loads” or “Can adjust schedule if required.”

• Set expectations
  “Detention billed after 2 hours” or “Weather-dependent route.”

• Start a conversation
  “Happy to discuss alternatives if this doesn’t fit.”

TL;DR
Use quote comments to add context, show flexibility, and start a conversation, a few extra words can make your quote more competitive and clearer to shippers.
