Bidding | Carrier Portal

At WARP, we’ve made bidding for routes simple and rewarding. As a Carrier Partner, you’ll receive email and text notifications for available routes that match your fleet and service area. You’ll also be notified of updates regarding route negotiations. Click here to learn how to do this from our WARP APP.

Getting Started

To begin bidding, log into your Carrier Portal at carrier.wearewarp.com.

Once logged in, you’ll land on our active Load Board, where you can browse and place bids on opportunities that suit your operation.

1. When you find a route that aligns with your capabilities, simply click the Bid button located on the right to open up more details.
   
2. On the right side of your screen, review all the details relevant to your operations. We provide you with miles, dimensions, weight, any specific equipment requirements, etc. If the route meets your capabilities, click Place Bid. In the pop-up window, enter your most competitive rate and click Place Bid again to submit your offer.
3. For each bid you submit, we’ll respond with a counteroffer. You will receive a Bid Price Update email. This email has all of the relevant route details, our counter offer, and your last offer. You can either accept or counter offer. To respond, press View Load Detail.
   
4. Here you will see all relevant information regarding your route along with a full history of our negotiation. You can either accept, counter offer or keep your last offer as your final offer.
   
5. Once you’ve reached your lowest acceptable rate, you can either stop responding or accept our offer. If your rate aligns with ours, the route will be granted to you. You will receive an email with the subject line "You won the bid"
   After the route is assigned, you must still confirm acceptance or you risk losing the route. Press Accept Load Tender.
   
6. At the bottom of the window, select Accept Load Tender. For future reference, you will find your load tender in your My Loads history in the Carrier Portal.
   
7. Here, you will be prompted to verify both your assigned vehicle and Driver are ready. You also have the option to change the Driver from this screen, the Carrier Portal, or the WARP App at any time. Once confirmed, press Confirm Ready for both the vehicle and the Driver.
   Once confirmed, you will see a confirmation message "Nice! Your booking is confirmed..."
   

8. You will now find this route in the Active Loads section of your Carrier Portal and the Won - Need Driver section in the WARP App. 

   At this stage, it’s important to inform your Driver when they are en route to the pickup, they should log into the WARP App and start the route. This step ensures the customer and dispatch are kept informed that you are on your way and actively working the route.

   You can find more information about this route by pressing on the 8 Digit Route ID.
