Once you submit an inquiry for your shipment on the DFreight Digital platform, you need to wait until the system provides you with at least one proposal. Proposals are the offers we provide our customers based on the details they submit to the Inquiry Form.
Proposals are the results of the paths that our platform’s matching system can create based on the stories and the cargo readiness date. Note that each proposal is unique and differs from other proposals by its suppliers, transit time, rates, or main transit quote.
What Details Does a Proposal Include?
- Origin Country and City
- Destination Country and City

- Total Cost, which includes the following cost breakdown:
- Origin Charges (Pickup – Trucking – Haulage – Drayage)
- International Charges (Ocean Freight/Air Freight)

- Freight Suppliers (Shipping lines, Airlines, Trucking Companies, etc.)
