Step 2 · Compare

See the real landed cost — not just the base price.

Three quotes, one apples-to-apples view. Inline flags catch missing fees and short-load risk before you award. Lowest base $/CY rarely wins.

Lowest base price (Lone Star) would cost the same as the awarded supplier — and risks an extra short-load fee on under-8-CY loads. Leveling shows you the real number before you award.

Step 3 · Capture
