Marketplace
What does the Marketplace page do?

orcas’ Marketplace lets carriers view and bid on thousands of exclusive transports guaranteed by sennder.

Maximize your profits with the Marketplace's automated next load suggestions and roundtrip packages, tailored to your preferred lanes and fleet availability.

How do I make an offer?

There are two ways to make an offer:

  1. Accept Now: this option displays the recommended price of the offer based on sennder's pricing algorithm. Selecting this option automatically books the order.
  2. Make an offer: this option allows you to submit a counteroffer to the proposed price. Simply type in the price of your counteroffer and click submit. If you decide not to wait for your counteroffer to be accepted or rejected, you can always select Accept Now.
What happens if my counteroffer is rejected?

If your counteroffer was rejected, you can contact your Carrier Manager, who will assist you in submitting another offer.

How does Accept Now work?

Accept Now displays the recommended price of the offer based on sennder's pricing algorithm, and automatically books the order and guarantees you the price displayed. With this option, there is no lengthy back and forth with your Carrier Manager or uncertainty as to whether or not you have successfully won a bid.

What are Saved Lanes?

Saved Lanes allows you to immediately save the lanes and book the loads that are tailored to your preferences. You can save as many lanes as you want and view them in a dedicated Saved Lanes tab in the Marketplace. If you have driven with sennder before, recommended Saved Lanes are based on your Marketplace experience.

Pickup or drop off locations are a minimum requirement for saving a lane, however can be specified with additional information, such as Radius to pickup and/or drop off locations, truck type, and load dimensions, among others.

Assignments
What does the Assignments page do?

orcas’ Assignments stores all of your transports which were booked through the Marketplace or brokered by your Carrier Manager.  

How much time do I have to accept a transport before the offer expires?

Your Carrier Manager will set either a six or twelve hour window for you to accept or reject a transport. If the transport isn’t accepted or rejected in this timeframe, the offer closes and moves into the Expired tab.

Planner
What does the Planner page do?

orcas’ Planner gives you a comprehensive overview of all of your week’s transports. With one click, you can seamlessly search for new Marketplace orders that fill the gaps in your schedule.

What is in the Unassigned section?

The Unassigned section helps you identify which trucks or drivers remain unassigned to your transports so that you may more easily assign them. You will see all unassigned trucks when the Trucks tab is selected. Likewise, you will see all unassigned drivers when the Drivers tab is selected.

Please note that assigning a different truck or driver to an order where one is already assigned will cause the replaced truck or driver to appear in the Unassigned section.

Fleet
What does the Fleet page do?

orcas’ Fleet page helps you track the status of your vehicle and driver assignments. To save even more time, your Fleet integrates truck and trailer information from your previous sennder orders.

What are these "Trucks," "Trailers," and "Drivers" buttons on the top of the page?

These top buttons signal which information from your fleet is missing, and provides a quick redirect to the location of the information that needs updating.

Orders
What does the Orders page do?

orcas’ Orders page lets you add, assign, and manage all your sennder and non-sender transports, from execution all the way to completion. Easily find important order information, which is automatically updated with any changes you make to your Planner or Fleet.
