Freight Broker — Lane Pricing & Load Decision
The parent decision-tree maps branching choices with payoffs and probabilities. A load quote is a decision tree: quote high (higher margin, lower win) vs low (win, thin margin) vs pass — against carrier cost, market rate, and relationship value.

How it works
The parent decision-tree maps branching choices with payoffs and probabilities. A load quote is a decision tree: quote high (higher margin, lower win) vs low (win, thin margin) vs pass — against carrier cost, market rate, and relationship value.
When to use it
- a freight broker must quote a lane and decide accept/counter/pass on a load or carrier rate
- 'what should I quote', 'is this rate any good', margin vs win-probability on a lane
When not to use it
a contracted rate already governs the lane (no decision).
