WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"freight broker rate confirmation template","freight broker rate calculator","freight rate confirmation"
THE GAP

The current workflow is a mess of spreadsheets, templates, and manual edits, which makes it easy to misstate margin or miss accessorials. The search data shows people want the artifact itself, not a generic freight platform.

THE BUILD

Build a brokerage-specific confirmation generator that pulls lane details, carrier info, accessorials, and margin into one auditable document. Start with independent brokers and small teams handling spot freight; the wedge is faster sends, fewer errors, and cleaner audit history.

WEEKEND MVP

A form-based rate confirmation generator with PDF export and version history.
