RateQuoteRequest

One shipment to be priced. mode, rateType, stops, equipment and augmentQuoteId are always sent. The rest is sent when Augment has it, so treat a missing field as unknown rather than as a default.

  • Augment's id for this quote. Echo it back unchanged. Treat it as an opaque string.

  • Equipment needed to move the shipment

    Properties: 1
  • Transportation mode. Same values as Load.mode.

  • The commercial basis of the rate being asked for. Same values as Load.rateType.

  • The route in sequence. One PICKUP and one DELIVERY is the floor and is enough to return a rate.

    This is an array rather than an origin and destination pair so a third or later stop is visible in the request. You cannot charge a stop-off fee against a lane that doesn't show the stop.

    Properties: 3
  • Accessorial codes Augment already knows the shipment needs, such as TARPS or TWIC. Advisory only. You return the priced accessorials on each rate and are not limited to what's listed here.

  • Free-text description of the freight

  • People on the quote. Exactly one QUOTE_OWNER is always sent: the rep whose mailbox received the request. QUOTE_REQUESTER is the customer contact who asked, when known.

    Properties: 3
  • Additional fields Augment can reliably parse from the email, agreed with each provider during setup, such as a customer-specific code. Keys and values are defined per provider. Ignore any key you do not use.

    Properties: 1
  • The shipper the quote is for, when a customer rate applies

  • Overall shipment dimensions in whole inches. Legal width runs to roughly 12 feet; wider than that generally needs escorts.

    Properties: 3
  • The email that triggered this quote. When one thread carries several quote requests, this is the message that produced this quote, not the first message in the thread.

    Properties: 9
  • UN number for the hazardous material, UN followed by four digits. Sent only when isHazmat is true and the source document carried the number.

  • Whether the shipment carries hazardous materials. Missing means unknown, not false.

  • Number of truckloads on this lane. Missing means 1. One request covers one lane; several truckloads on the same lane are counted here rather than sent as separate requests.

  • Requested pickup day

  • Reference numbers the customer put on the request, such as a tender or spot-bid number. Use them to recognize a follow-up on the same request.

    Properties: 2
  • Tarp size requirement, when the freight needs tarping

  • Augment's mileage estimate, when it has one. Advisory only: rating should use the provider's own mileage, which is then returned on the response.

  • Total shipment weight. An object rather than a bare number, matching the load contract, so the unit is never guessed.

    Properties: 2
  • Well space needed, in whole inches, for drop-deck freight. A separate field rather than part of dimensions, because it describes the trailer requirement, not the freight.
