# Submit a Quote

> How to find open rate requests and submit bids to your shippers in Owlery.

When a shipper sends out a rate request, it shows up in your **Quotes & Tenders** list. Here's how to review the details and submit your bid.

<Tip>
  Keep an eye on your quote expiration dates. Once a quote expires, you'll need to submit a new one if the request is still open.
</Tip>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Quotes & Tenders">
    In the left sidebar under **Operations**, click **Quotes & Tenders**. This shows all open rate requests from your shippers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the quote request">
    Click any row to open the details drawer. You'll find:

    * **Details tab** — pickup and drop-off locations, dates, equipment type, freight info, and any shipper notes.
    * **Order Items tab** — a breakdown of the shipment by SKU, including quantities, weights, and dimensions.

    Review everything before submitting your bid.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit your bid">
    At the bottom of the **Details** tab, fill in:

    * **Mode** — FTL, LTL, etc.
    * **Price** — your quoted rate.
    * **Estimated Stop Dates** — expected pickup and delivery dates.
    * **Quote Expiration** — how long your bid stays valid.

    Click **Submit** when you're ready.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Competitive alerts

If other carriers have bid significantly lower on the same request, you may see an alert prompting you to adjust your price. You can revise and resubmit any time before your quote expires.
