One team, two roles
Post freight as a shipper and bid as a carrier, with the same employees and permissions.
For freight forwarders
A company can use both sides: award transport and take on orders with its own fleet.
Post freight as a shipper and bid as a carrier, with the same employees and permissions.
Register your vehicles. For every shipment you see whether it fits. Your own freight never appears in the exchange for you, so you never bid on yourself.
Freight you do not haul yourself is tendered transparently and you choose by price and rating.
