When a customer contacts you to haul a load, what steps do you take to ensure we have a rate on the load ?
-
Ask them for a rate?
-
Take the order and worry about the rate later?
-
Email the pricing group to ensure we have a rate in place?
-
Turn down the load because we don’t haul loads without rates?
Correct Answer
A. Email the pricing group to ensure we have a rate in place?Explanation
To ensure that there is a rate in place for the load, the appropriate step is to email the pricing group. This is because the pricing group is responsible for determining the rates for different loads. By contacting them, the company can ensure that a rate is established before proceeding with the order. Asking the customer for a rate may not be reliable as they may not have the authority to determine the rate. Taking the order without worrying about the rate or turning down the load without a rate are not appropriate actions as they can lead to financial or operational issues.Rate this question:
