Below the create form, the Quotes table is your home base for everything you’ve sent — what’s still open, what’s been quoted, and what’s already booked.

​
The Quotes Table

Each row is one quote. Filter the table by status, equipment type, pickup or dropoff date, or who created the quote. You can also sort by created, pickup, or dropoff date. Click the Download Data icon to export whatever you’re currently viewing.

Quote Statuses

​
What’s in the Quote Drawer

Click any row to open the drawer. Besides the Details tab — where you review responses and tender — you’ll find:
  • Lane History: a historical rate chart for this exact lane (origin–destination), so you can gauge whether a quote is competitive.
  • Order Items: the order line items tied to this quote.
  • Documents: files attached to the tendered response (BOL, packing list, shipping label, and so on), ready to download.
  • Tender History: the full tender lifecycle, including cancellations, re-tenders, and load status if a load was created. See Checking Tender History.
  • Linked Items: everything connected to this quote: related orders, loads, and other records.

​
Choose Carriers When Quoting Several Orders

When you quote several orders at once, Owlery builds one quote per order. The Carriers section of the create form decides which carriers and brokers price them.
  • Use the same carriers for all quotes on (the default): one carrier list covers every quote. Add or remove a carrier and the change applies to all of them.
  • Use the same carriers for all quotes off: each quote keeps its own carrier list. Change the carriers on one quote without touching the others.
Turn the toggle off when one order needs different carriers, such as a reefer load that only some of your carriers can haul.

​
Re-quote an Existing Quote

Want to send a fresh request with the same details? You can re-quote two ways:
1

Start the re-quote

Click the re-quote button (↺) in the Action column of the table, or open the quote drawer and click Re-quote.
2

Adjust and send

The create form at the top of the page fills in with the original quote’s route, shipment details, and carrier selections. Change anything you need, then submit.

How Cargo Value Is Calculated

Cargo value is the declared value of the goods on a quote. It affects the carrier’s liability if your freight is damaged or lost. It can also affect the price. When you build a quote from one or more orders in Owlery, cargo value comes from the value of the items listed on those orders:
  1. Item value comes first: Owlery adds up the value of each item on the order. If an item has no total value, Owlery uses its unit price × quantity.
  2. Your default is the fallback: If the items on the order have no value, Owlery uses the Cargo Value default from your Quoting Settings.
The quote’s cargo value is the total across its items. You can change any item’s value in its Cargo Value field before you send the quote. A quote started without an order begins with your default filled in.
The default applies to each item on the quote, not to the quote as a whole. A quote with three items that have no value gets the default three times.

Handy to Know

  • Jump straight here: click the search icon at the top of any page and type quotes to land on the Quotes page.
  • Facility notes stick: if you edit a facility’s notes on a quote, Owlery saves them to the facility, so they carry over to future quotes.
  • New quotes are easy to spot: they carry a New badge for five minutes after you create them.
  • Responses refresh on their own: a spinning Quoting… indicator shows in the # Quotes column while carrier responses are still coming in.
