About Freightquote

Freightquote is an online freight brokerage firm operating in the United States that helps businesses and individuals arrange freight transportation. Rather than operating its own fleet of delivery trucks, Freightquote connects customers with a broad network of motor carriers, less-than-truckload (LTL) specialists, and regional transport providers. This allows shippers to compare quotes, arrange cargo pickups, and organize domestic and cross-border freight movements through a single platform.

Because Freightquote operates as a freight broker, your palletized goods, heavy machinery, or commercial shipments are physically transported by underlying carrier networks. Tracking a Freightquote booking often involves following the milestone updates provided by whichever partner carrier is handling the line-haul leg of the journey. Freightquote consolidates these dispatch and transit milestones so shippers can monitor progress from pickup to final delivery.

Where Freightquote delivers

Freightquote covers freight shipping across the United States, connecting regional networks with nationwide line-haul carriers. Through partner logistics networks, Freightquote also supports cross-border freight movements connecting North American commercial centers. Freight is routed through local service terminals, where primary motor carriers hand off freight to regional last-mile delivery teams based on the required equipment, such as liftgate trucks or flatbeds.

Know your number

Freightquote tracking number format

Freightquote uses Bill of Lading (BOL) numbers and internal reference numbers to track freight movements. Standard BOL strings for Freightquote bookings usually consist of an 8 to 10 digit numerical sequence, though some underlying regional carriers add their own alphanumeric PRO numbers. When tracking through Freightquote, using the primary BOL reference provided at booking ensures the platform maps correctly to the dispatch record.

Format example

  • 00000000
  • 0000000000

Patterns vary by service. Paste whatever you have and we will detect the carrier for you.

Step by step

How to track a Freightquote parcel

  1. Step 01

    Locate your reference number

    Find your Bill of Lading (BOL) number, Freightquote reference number, or dispatch identifier on your booking confirmation document or email invoice.

  2. Step 02

    Enter the number on parceltracking.com

    Paste your reference code into the tracking input box at the top of this page. The system automatically identifies Freightquote and begins retrieving updates.

  3. Step 03

    Review your unified shipment timeline

    Examine the chronological scan events to see when your cargo was picked up, where it sits in transit, and whether it has reached a regional distribution hub.

  4. Step 04

    Check the official Freightquote site

    As an alternative, navigate to the official Freightquote tracking webpage and submit your BOL number to review the status directly on their web portal.

  5. Step 05

    Save your tracking link for updates

    Bookmark your tracking results page on parceltracking.com so you can quickly return to check for new progress reports without re-typing your identifier.

Status decoder

What each status means

Shipment Information Received
The freight booking was generated and the dispatch record is prepared, but the underlying carrier has not yet collected the pallet or cargo.
Picked Up
The dispatching truck has loaded the cargo at the origin facility or warehouse and confirmed physical possession.
In Transit
Your freight is traveling between regional distribution terminals on a line-haul truck or train.
Arrived at Terminal
The shipment has entered a local or regional freight hub for sorting, consolidation, or transfer to another trailer.
Out for Delivery
The cargo has been loaded onto a local delivery vehicle and is scheduled to arrive at the destination address today.
Exception
An unexpected delay occurred, such as weather conditions, missed appointment times, liftgate requirements, or mechanical issues.
Delivered
The driver has completed the drop-off and collected a signed proof of delivery (POD) document at the destination.
Is this normal?

How long is normal for Freightquote?

Freight movements do not generate hourly scans like small parcel delivery systems. A gap of a day or two between scans while a trailer is moving on a highway or waiting at a distribution terminal is normal. However, longer gaps can mean an administrative delay or a scheduling issue at a hub.

  1. Days 1 to 2

    Your shipment record is generated and pickup is scheduled. If there is no scan yet, the driver may still be completing the afternoon pickup route.

  2. Days 3 to 4

    The cargo should be moving through line-haul transit hubs. If the status stays on information received, confirm with the sender that the freight was dispatched.

  3. After 5 days without updates

    For standard domestic routes, a five-day pause without a terminal scan warrants checking with the carrier or broker to confirm the current location.

  4. After 10 days

    Unless you booked long-haul rail intermodal service, a ten-day gap is unusual. Contact Freightquote support or your account representative to trace the cargo.

Troubleshooting

Freightquote tracking not updating?

Freight tracking can occasionally pause or show unexpected statuses. Understanding why tracking scans pause helps relieve worry and determines when to take action.

Trailer line-haul transit gaps
When cargo is moving across long distances on interstate highways, scans only occur when the truck reaches a physical terminal facility.
Delivery appointment requirement
Freight deliveries often require scheduling a specific drop-off window with the receiving dock. Cargo may wait at a local terminal until an appointment is set.
Special equipment needs
If a delivery location lacks a loading dock and requires a liftgate truck, the local terminal may hold the shipment until the proper trailer becomes available.
Weekend and holiday pauses
Freight terminals frequently close or run reduced staffing on weekends and public holidays, halting manual status updates.
Customs clearance holds
Cross-border shipments to Canada or Mexico require documentation review. Broker reviews can pause transit progress until paperwork is verified.

What to do next

  1. Verify that your BOL or tracking reference number was entered correctly without spaces or typos.
  2. Check whether your delivery location requires a delivery appointment or liftgate equipment.
  3. Allow extra transit time during severe winter weather or holiday peak seasons.
  4. Contact the original sender or your Freightquote broker to review dispatch logs if tracking remains stalled.
Cross-border

Freightquote customs & handoffs

Cross-border shipments arranged through Freightquote involve specific international shipping procedures. Before goods cross northern or southern United States borders, freight must pass export review and customs inspection. Documentation such as commercial invoices, certificates of origin, and electronic export information must match the cargo manifest precisely to avoid terminal holds.

During cross-border line haul, the freight may be transferred to a regional partner carrier operating within the destination country. When this handoff happens, a secondary carrier tracking reference or PRO number might be generated. Parceltracking.com helps you follow the full journey across these international handoffs, giving you a clear view of your shipment from initial dispatch to final drop-off.

Practical

Tips for tracking Freightquote parcels

  • Keep your BOL handy

    Always retain your Bill of Lading document. It contains the primary reference number needed by both Freightquote and underlying carrier fleets.

  • Confirm delivery dock details

    Ensure the destination address specifies whether a dock is present. Missing equipment requests cause holds at local freight terminals.

  • Monitor appointment notices

    Watch for phone or email contact from local carriers to set delivery appointments, as trucks will not arrive unannounced.

  • Request proof of delivery

    Save a copy of the signed delivery receipt (POD) once your shipment completes to verify who accepted the freight.
