Checklist

Common mistakes

  • Comparing only the headline revenue without checking timing, total miles, and paperwork.
  • Relying on a phone comment when the written load file says something different.
  • Leaving the final decision undocumented even when the load carries an obvious risk.

Working format

  • Use a short written note with load number, lane, broker, date, and the open item being checked.
  • Mark each item as confirmed, missing, or not applicable.
  • Keep the finished checklist with the rate confirmation or billing packet.
