The Life of Your Freight: From Quote to Delivery
In the fast-paced world of logistics, knowing where your freight is—and where it's going—is everything. For businesses that depend on reliable freight delivery, the process behind the scenes can often feel like a mystery. That’s where a trusted freight brokerage like NextWave Global Logistics comes in.
Let’s break down how we handle your shipment. Step by step. From the moment you request a quote, to the second it’s delivered.
Step 1: It Starts With a Freight Quote
Everything begins with a simple request: “How much will this cost?”
At NextWave, we make that easy. Whether you're shipping a full truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), or intermodal freight, our team gives you a competitive quote fast. We use real-time freight rates from our trusted network of carriers.
This is the first part of the journey. And we know your time matters. That’s why our freight quote process for B2B shipments is built for speed and accuracy.
Step 2: Booking the Freight
Once you approve the quote, we move fast.
We match your shipment to a vetted carrier in our network. Our goal is to get you the best freight rate with reliable carriers. You don’t have to chase down trucks or worry about sketchy drivers. We handle it all.
From paperwork to pickup times, we make it smooth. And if you’ve got special instructions? No problem. Our team notes every detail.
Step 3: Prepping the Pickup
Now we prep the carrier and your facility.
We send all the info to the driver—where to go, who to contact, what time to arrive. And we confirm with your warehouse or shipping dock. This avoids delays and confusion.
Want updates? You’ll get them. We give you real-time notifications, so you're never in the dark.
Step 4: Freight is Picked Up
Once the truck pulls in, it’s go time.
Our carrier arrives on schedule, picks up your freight, and begins the journey. We double-check that your shipment is secure, labeled, and on the right path.
You’ll get a digital record showing it left your facility. That’s peace of mind.
Step 5: Real-Time Tracking in Transit
Here’s where we really shine.
As your freight moves, we track it every mile. No guesswork. We use GPS and digital check-ins to monitor location, timing, and conditions.
If anything changes on the route—like weather, traffic, or delays—we update you instantly. Our freight visibility technology keeps you ahead of the game.
Step 6: Problem? We Fix It
Freight doesn’t always go as planned. We get that.
If a route changes, a delivery gets delayed, or a driver runs late, we step in fast. You won’t be the one calling around. We talk to the carrier. We find a solution.
And we keep you looped in—every step of the way.
Step 7: Arrival at Destination
The final stop: delivery.
We coordinate with the receiver to make sure someone is there. We confirm delivery times, access points, and unloading requirements.
Once the freight is delivered, you get a digital proof of delivery (POD). No paperwork to chase. Just one clear message: “It’s arrived.”
Step 8: Post-Delivery Support
Even after delivery, we’re still working.
Need help with documentation? Billing? Filing a freight claim for damage or delay? We’ve got your back. Our customer service team is always on call.
And we’ll ask how it went. Because your feedback helps us improve.
