You haul under someone else's authority. You still own the tender.
Ian Brown ran LIVE's hazmat business as an agent for 15 years. When a shipper tendered a load, the response had to go out on the carrier's authority, inside the window, with nobody else watching the screen. FlowLine is the system he built to do that.
The problem
Agents sit between the shipper's system and the carrier's paperwork. Tenders arrive through gateways you do not control. When one goes unanswered, the shipper blames the carrier whose name is on it, and the carrier blames you.
What FlowLine does about it
The proof
The 2025 tender story is the agent's nightmare: three systems between the shipper and the desk, one email alert, and a 990 that went out 79 minutes after the tender.
Questions
Can I answer EDI tenders as an agent?
Yes. FlowLine lets you choose which carrier authority a response goes out under, so the 990 carries the right identifiers.
What happens if I miss a tender window?
FlowLine declines at the deadline so the shipper always receives an answer. A decline on time protects your standing better than silence.
Walk me through your last missed tender. Twenty minutes. No pitch deck.
