Batch Rating in Advantage is a way for brokers to efficiently price hundreds of lanes at once. Whether for a mini contract or a long freight opportunity list, Batch Rating gives brokers an easy way to get both personalized Advantage market prices and DAT market rates in spreadsheet form. Simply use our Google Sheet template to format lane/load information, upload to Advantage, and receive a CSV with prices in your email inbox.
Step by Step
Navigate to the Batch Rating Uploader tab using the new left hand menu in advantage (advantage.parade.ai/batch-pricing)
(Navigate back to the main search page by clicking the P logo in the top left corner, or the icon with the graph)
Use the google sheet template linked under 'Instructions' on the uploader page to enter details about the lanes/loads you wish to price
Click on ‘Use Template’
Refer to ‘Instructions’ tab for detailed instructions
Input load/lane data in the ‘Inputs’ tab
Check that Column A has all green checks for the loads you want to price (don’t worry if empty rows at the end don’t have check marks). If there is an error, Column B will explain what it is
Note that the template file format MUST be followed for Batch Rating to work. Cells that should not be edited have been locked.
