How can I participate in the bidding?

On 17TRACK Freight Quotes Center, carriers can view the information of the inquiries and submit competitive quotes to the sellers. There will be a number of carriers participating in the bidding for a same inquiry. This process is defined as “Participate in bidding”.

Register as Carrier
