Once you have completed a search for jobs and have found a job you would like to quote on, simply click on the job title or image from the search results page to open up the listing page.
Scroll down to the 'Quotes' section where you will see an orange button ADD QUOTE
After clicking ADD QUOTE, you will see the NEW QUOTE window pop up
There will be two boxes where you can enter an amount 'Total Quote Amount (incl Truckit fee)' or 'Provider's Amount (excl Truckit fee)'.
Entering any amount in either of these boxes, will automatically calculate and enter a value into the other box.
'Provider's Amount (excl Truckit fee)' is the amount that you, the provider, will be paid for the job (including GST) if the customer accepts your quote and books the job.
Please see our article on Quoting Rules for more information on what is an acceptable quote and which quotes may be removed.
Use Quote References to Stay Organised
If you're generating multiple quotes each day—especially across different platforms—it can be easy to lose track.
Truckit makes it simple to view all your quotes via the My Quotes tab. However, the most effective way to keep track of individual quotes is by assigning a unique Reference Number to each one.
When placing a quote on Truckit, you'll see a field labelled Reference No. This is where you can enter your own internal reference, making it easy to search and locate specific quotes in your own system later on.
Taking this extra step helps streamline your workflow and avoid confusion down the track.
Quote Specific Terms
Including clear, well-defined Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) with each quote helps protect your business and avoids confusion with customers. These terms should outline any applicable fees—such as cancellation, demurrage, or futile pickup—using specific amounts or percentages. Vague statements like "fees may apply" are not enforceable, and Truckit cannot process fees not clearly stated at the time of quoting.
You can also include details like packaging requirements, insurance coverage (or lack thereof), delivery timeframes, and service types (e.g. backload vs express). Tailor your T&Cs based on the type of freight you’re quoting for. For more detailed guidance and examples, read our full article: Terms & Conditions – Best Practice.
