| The Freightgate Marketplace Concept: |
| The Freightgate Marketplace leverages the power of the Internet to help carriers negotiate freight rates in a totally unique and secure environment based upon the economic principles of supply and demand. |
| How Does The Freightgate Marketplace Work?: |
| A shipper or 3PL submits a firm or tentative transportation offer. This offer is then instantly transmitted to our extensive list of participating transportation providers via email. These providers then have the options of accepting the terms of the offer, placing a counter bid for the offer, or ignoring the offer altogether. |
| What Are The Benefits of Using The Freightgate Marketplace?: |
| The Freightgate Marketplace decreases the cost of sales as transportation offers are pushed to you. It also offers a manageable way to fill unused space at a mutually acceptable price. The email medium not only saves time and money, but also insures a traceable document virtually eliminating rate disputes. |
| What Does The Freightgate Marketplace Cost to Use?: |
| The cost to view offers and register your company on the Marketplace is FREE! As a carrier you pay a small nominal fee to Freightgate when an offer is accepted. Carriers must read and sign the Fee & Credit Policy in order to participate in the Marketplace. |
