Negotiating a load in the app comes down to a few moves: put a number on it, ask for what you're missing, get the paperwork, and answer when the broker comes back with a different price. You do all of it from inside the broker thread, and every message stays on the load.
Send a bid
Open the broker thread for a load and tap "Send bid" to put your number on it. Your bid goes out from your connected mailbox and lands on the thread, so you always see what you offered and when.

Ask for what you're missing
Before or during a negotiation you often need more than a price:
- "Send info request" — ask the broker for the details you don't have yet.
- "Request RC" — ask for the rate confirmation so you have the load in writing.
Both go out on the same thread, so the whole exchange for that load stays in one place.
Answer a counter
When the broker replies with a different number, tap "Counter ${amount}" to answer with yours. Each counter posts to the thread, so the back-and-forth reads top to bottom and you can always see where the rate stands.
Good to know
- Everything stays on the load. Bids, info requests, RC requests, and counters all live in the per-load thread. See Manage conversations and invite a dispatcher.
- Send faster with templates. Save your bid and info emails so a message goes out in a couple of taps. See Customize your email templates.
- Let AI take the first pass. You can hand the outreach to Ask Numeo AI to find and book, which drafts the broker email and checks the broker before it sends.
