Every load priced by the carriers who want it.
Rivo turns the round of phone calls into a timed contest. You post the load once, the carriers you invite bid against each other until the window closes, and you award on the result.
How the bidding works
The rules you set
Window in minutes
Choose how long bidding stays open. Extend it if you need to; the extra minutes run from the moment you extend.
Bid steps
Set the multiple a first bid must round to, the minimum decrease between bids, and how many bids each carrier gets.
Two colours, no rank
A carrier sees green while its bid is the lowest and red when it is not. No position, and no other carrier’s amount.
Reasons on record
Awarding above the lowest bid, closing early, cancelling or reopening asks for a reason from a fixed list. Carriers are told what happened, not why.
Questions we get asked
Can carriers see each other’s prices?
No. The amounts are never sent to another carrier, during bidding or after. A carrier sees only where its own bid stands.
Do we have to award the lowest bid?
No. You can award any bid. If it is not the lowest, you choose a reason from a fixed list and it is recorded.
What if only one carrier bids?
You see how many carriers bid before you award. You can extend bidding, and the extra minutes run from the moment you extend.
Can we bid out sea freight the same way?
Yes. Freight forwarders quote sailings instead of trucks: the price per container, the shipping line, and when it sails and arrives.

Bring one lane you buy often.
We will set it up as a live inquiry with your own carriers, and you can watch what the bidding does to the rate.
About thirty minutes. Bring the lane, the carriers you use on it, and what you pay today.
