Freight Offer is a proposal made by a carrier, broker, or forwarder specifying the terms, rates, and conditions under which goods can be transported from origin to destination. In logistics, freight offers are essential for shippers to evaluate transport options, compare costs, and select the most suitable carrier or service. Freight offers typically include details on cargo handling, transit time, freight charges, insurance options, and applicable regulations.
