# Accept a Tender

> How to review, accept, or reject tendered loads from your shippers in Owlery.

When a shipper awards you a load, it shows up as a tender in your **Quotes & Tenders** list. Here's how to review the details and respond.

<Note>
  **Direct tenders** — Some shippers combine quoting and accepting into a single step. Instead of separate quote and tender workflows, you'll see one form where you fill in Mode, Price, Load Number, and Estimated Stop Dates, then click **Submit**. The process is the same — just fewer round trips.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the tender">
    In the left sidebar under **Operations**, click **Quotes & Tenders**. Look for items with a **Tendered** status, then click the row to open the tender drawer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the shipment details">
    Check the **Details**, **Order Items**, and **Documents** tabs for the full picture — locations, dates, freight info, and any attached files from the shipper.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in required fields">
    Depending on the shipper's setup, you may need to enter:

    * **Load Number** — your internal tracking or reference number.
    * **Price** — confirm or enter the agreed rate.
    * **Mode** — FTL, LTL, etc.

    Not every field will appear on every tender — it depends on what the shipper requires.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accept or reject">
    Click **Accept** to confirm the load, or **Reject** if you can't haul it.
  </Step>
