That acceptance is a switch you set per customer, not a claim that every tender books itself. FreightScout does not send an EDI 990.

How do brokers manage shipper tenders?

A broker's job with a shipper tender is to know whether it matches the award, to get a clean load into the TMS, and to put a mismatch in front of a person. FreightScout does the read and the build. Your people still own the exception and the customer relationship. Load building is where that job is shown.

How long that response should take, and what has to be true before you accept, is in how long a freight broker should take to respond to a load tender.
