We’re excited to release Past Loads and Past Quotes, two enhanced tools that replace the Past Similar Lanes experience and bring deeper historical context to load pricing and carrier engagement. These updates are now available in both the Load page and the Source tab, so you can work more efficiently with historical load and quote data.
What’s New
Past Loads
Exact historical matches first: Past Loads begins with a tighter radius, showing only loads with the same origin and destination. This ensures true apples-to-apples comparison on pricing and carrier history.
Adjustable radius: If no exact matches exist, you can expand the radius incrementally to include nearby lanes, giving broader context while still keeping relevance.
Rich load details: See full context for past loads, including carrier and MC, equipment type, distance, assigned rate, DAT rate at booking, customer rate, and margin.
Export capability: Easily export Past Loads data for offline analysis or reporting.
Past Quotes
Comprehensive quote history: Past Quotes aggregates all historical quote activity captured in Parade, including:
Quotes from all Parade Sources
Pricing insights: View quote amounts over time with dates and averages so you can better understand pricing trends.
Carrier reuse signals: Identify carriers that consistently quote on similar loads and may be good contacts on upcoming freight.
Source Tab
The Source tab now supports three views: Carriers (default), Loads, and Quotes for the lane you’re researching.
Search by free-form lane input (e.g., city/state or broader regions) and get real-time DAT rates and a map view to support planning and decision making.
This experience works across all equipment types, including specialized trailers.
How It Works
Past Loads
When you view Past Loads, the system first searches for loads that exactly match the origin and destination you’re reviewing.
This approach gives you the most accurate historical pricing benchmarks possible.
If no exact matches are found, you can increase the radius to surface similar lanes.
Note* This is only looking at your historical loads.
Past Quotes
Past Quotes looks across all the quotes you have received to show what carriers have bid on exact and similar work.
This helps you see pricing patterns that go beyond booked loads, which can reveal early trends or carriers who often engage even if they didn’t book previously.
In the Source Tab
Toggle between Carriers, Loads, and Quotes to quickly evaluate signal strength across relationships, pricing history, and past moves.
Combine this with real-time DAT rates and the interactive map to better understand lane availability and competitive pricing.
Why This Matters
These new tools give brokers clearer, more actionable historical context by focusing on true historical matches and comprehensive quote history, which improves operational decision-making:
More accurate pricing insights: Start with exact load history before expanding to similar lanes so you’re not guessing at what a lane is worth.
Identify reliable carriers: See which carriers have repeatedly moved or quoted similar lanes so you can strengthen relationships and outreach.
Trend analysis over time: Understand how pricing has shifted by comparing rates and quote history across comparable periods.
Improved planning workflows: Whether on a load page or in Source, you now have consolidated historical intelligence for smarter pricing and sourcing decisions.
