Freight Dispatching Terminology Practice Test

Who signs the rate confirmation to finalize and book the load?

Shipper Receiver Carrier Broker

Correct Answer:

Carrier

Explanation:

Signing a rate confirmation finalizes a freight move because it binds the agreed rate, pickup and delivery details, and any extra terms to a binding commitment. The carrier signs to indicate they accept those terms and will move the load, making the booking official. The document may be issued by a broker or shipper, but without the carrier’s signature, the agreement isn’t binding. The receiver isn’t part of this signing and doesn’t finalize the contract.
