Private auction
A shipper limits response to trusted carriers or a private carrier network.
Direct proposal
A shipper sends specific terms to a carrier; acceptance creates the transport.
Capacity-first workflow
A carrier publishes availability first, and the shipper uses that capacity to start targeted procurement.
