In this video we'll break down exactly what a Rate Confirmation or "Rate Con" actually is and what to look for before signing one. This is the first of 3 videos I'll be making to help newcomers understand exactly what to look for and expect when it comes to paperwork in the transportation industry.

Great Content man. Keep up the Great Work!!! Thank You😎

[@kayoticbushido]

Have you ever experienced a load being cancelled or given away after you have gotten a signed and confirmed rate con?

[@tyronecraig630]

Thanks for sharing the information 👍🏽👍🏽

[@joshfump8238]

Thanks!

Mr on vacation is back at it

[@LoadMizer]

Only till hunting season 😂

[@azhauling4109]

Make sure you have a valid phone # And make sure you don’t move until you precall bc 8/10 times your good, 2/10 times was already picked up, not paid for, or sold already.

[@travisnicks3688]

Maybe do a video about negotiating rates on these car loads. Seems like car haulers are missing the mark in this dept.

[@bradyhawkesable]

Cool broker that you used on this load!

[@LoadMizer]

Yessir! 🤣

[@usa174]

How do you sign it and send it back? Just edit the pdf with your digital signature? Does the broker have to sign it as well? Thanks for the video.

[@c.j.rogers2422]

Slow down there, hot shot! So that rate con comes to you via email. Then what? Print it in the truck? Then sign & scan/email or fax it back from the truck?

[@LoadMizer]

That’s it! Or you can use software that will let you edit/sign a PDF. Typically those aren’t free though. Printer works just fine for me 👍

[@azhauling4109]

Do you still bring computer and printer with you in truck. I wish there was a universal app so we didn’t have to. Cant wait to see you BOL, I need to copy that “fine print” that u have on urs

[@LoadMizer]

Yep, have them both next to me in the seat. Soooo convenient!

[@ricofree7381]

What’s the best insurance

[@dwightd9939]

As a dispatcher when it comes to the rate con and signature portion. Do I sign my name since I have limited power of attorney or do I sign my carriers name? I'm asking because on the right confirmation that I received from my broker on the signature part it has "Load accepted by"followed by a space to fill in information and then after that it is asking for a signature followed by a line to sign

[@LoadMizer]

You’ll sign your name as a representative of the carrier.

[@dwightd9939]

@@LoadMizer thanks 🙏🏽

[@jarretbutenhoff8031]

Are these electronic signatures or wet?

[@stronghotshot9002]

First! 💪

[@LoadMizer]

All the prizes 🍪 ⭐️ 🏆

[@vsl2557]

is rate con for dispatchers?

[@kingsleysarfo.]

I hear sometimes some dispatchers or fleet managers because trucking is a dirty game somitmes they'll send you all the information without the rate con and try to make some money off you.. is that true ? and i have a right to ask or it right ?

[@LoadMizer]

Absolutely, I wouldn’t trust anyone that would hesitate to show me the numbers.

[@viancyjimenez9848]

So the broker sends you the rate confirmation? And keep a copy of it

[@LoadMizer]

That’s correct 👍

[@geriatricginger]

Teach me senpai.

[@LoadMizer]

It’s boring but it’s accurate 😂

[@geriatricginger]

@@LoadMizer It's clear, concise, and to the point. That's how I learn shit. I don't need all the added fluff n bullshit.. :)

[@LoadMizer]

I don’t like to waste mine or anyone else’s time lol
