FastQuotes

Learn what the FastQuotes connector can do and how to request access. No API key is required.

describe_capabilities

Calculate a FastQuotes freight quote using the authenticated Axle API customer scope. Use an exact equipmentType ID and provide either aggregate loadDimensions or itemized items, never both. For item quantities above one, state whether weightLbs is per_piece or row_total; when sideBySideOk is omitted, FastQuotes places rows beside each other when they fit the usable width, while false forces single-file. Put commodityCategory inside loadDimensions. equipmentType is the shipper's choice: the server does not infer equipment from the commodity, and a request without a valid equipmentType is rejected with the list of options. Tarping applies only to open-deck equipment; liftGate applies only to box-truck-26. Weekend and appointment services must be available for the selected equipment and mode, and any priced service is named in assumptions. If winch_on is not supported by the selected equipment, FastQuotes uses lift_on and discloses that normalization. Routine permit quotes return the routed permit states without per-state costs. isPTL is set only when the shipper states whole or shared truck; when omitted, eligible loads return both options. All 53-foot/class-8 trailer equipment is air-ride as standard; air ride is not assumed only on hotshot, where airRideRequired records the need.

get_freight_quote

Retrieve a saved Axle quote and its current final or pending-review status.

get_quote_status

Send a saved quote to the FastQuotes freight team for human confirmation. Submitting notifies our team. This does not automatically book or tender freight; a FastQuotes specialist confirms every booking before a truck is dispatched. Optional fields changesSinceQuote and loadRequirements carry any updates since the quote was issued.
