Once you find an offer you are interested in, you can begin booking loads in the app. Start by selecting an offer. Convoy provides a range of rates that gradually increase as the load gets closer to pickup time. The lowest rate is the Book now option. Tapping Book now will take you to the confirmation screen where you can swipe and book the load. Once confirmed, the app will request that you assign a driver or confirm that you will be the driver. If you want to request a higher rate than the Book Now option, select place a bid. By bidding within the range, your bid is guaranteed to be reviewed by a time indicated in the app. Even if you win a bid, you are able to decline without impacting your scorecard. If you lose a bid to another carrier, convoy will give you feedback on why the bid was lost. Convoy's eager for your feedback. To share your experience with us, tap on the main menu and select Give feedback. For more information on accessing and requesting loads, visit Convoy's Help Center at support.convoy.com.
