How Do I Obtain Automatic Freight Calculations in AQ (Singer)?

Inside an AQ project’s Freight tab, users can calculate freight costs automatically through a variety of carriers after the required item values are defined.

Inside an AQ project's freight tab, users can calculate freight costs automatically through a variety of carriers. To obtain freight costs (get a quote), each item on the project must have four values defined:

  • Ship To Address (zip code)
  • Ship From Address (zip code)
  • Weight
  • Freight Class

AutoQuotes does provide a free freight generic account listed under "Kuehne+Nagel LTL eCommerce" that will produce a generic estimate of freight cost. However, since we have an account w/ Kuehne + Nagel, your login credentials are displayed below. Do NOT USE the generic account. Be sure to login as noted here.

Obtaining a Freight Quote

  1. To obtain freight estimates one manufacturer at a time, click on a row within the Mfr list to highlight it. a. Select any Accessorial Charges required for the shipment. b. Here you can select any carrier offered for that manufacturer. Click “Use Selected” to use the selected carrier for that manufacturer in your estimate (or double-click the carrier).
  2. If you’d rather obtain freight estimates for all manufacturers at once, instead click “Estimate All,” on the right side of the freight estimator.

Note: This will automatically select the least expensive carrier for each manufacturer. You cannot select carriers using this method.

Note: Weights for associated items, e.g., Same Mfr, Ship To, Ship From & Freight Class, are combined.
