🚀 New features
Bid header refresh
We slimmed down the bid header and reorganized key details so everything is easier to find. The header now shows Rounds Expected, so you can see how many rounds a bid is set up for.Deactivate users
You can now deactivate users to suspend their BidRight access. Their history and data stay intact.✨ Improvements
Bid import
- Auto mapping. We improved how lane IDs map on import, especially for files from larger bidding sites. We also added more trailer types and recognize more origin and destination city/state formats.
- Large Excel files. Large files used to take several minutes to load. They load much faster now.
Lanes grid
- Interest column. The Interest column now shows at every bid stage, even when it is empty.
- Modeled deadhead calculation. We removed relay miles from the calculation so deadhead numbers align better with FreightMath.
- Column visibility. We adjusted which core columns show at each bid stage, so the grid stays focused on what you need.
Auto Rate
We kept improving Auto Rate based on real-world use and are getting closer to a full release. A big thank you to everyone who has been testing Auto Rate and sharing feedback.🛠️ Fixes
Rate export
Rates were sometimes exporting to the wrong lanes. We fixed that and added safeguards so it should not happen again. Thank you to everyone who worked with us while we tracked down and fixed these issues.ZIP codes with commas
ZIP codes stored as numbers with commas now import correctly.Recalculate S-Rates and Modeled OR
Recalculating S-Rates was not updating Modeled OR on every lane. It now updates all lanes correctly.🔮 Coming soon
Lane Search and Area Control
We are close to releasing two new features.- Lane Search. Search all bid data you have ever entered in BidRight. Find past lanes, rates, and decisions without opening each bid one by one.
- Area Control. Set your bid strategy by area. Area Control fills in Auto Interest for you and speeds up that part of the process.
🚀 New features
Start building your bid warehouse
You can now map existing rate fields to our S-Rate columns, so you can bring historical bids into BidRight with the bid data and rates you already entered. Start importing old bids and build out your bid warehouse.Import market rates anytime
You can now import and map market rate data at any point during the bid process. Bring in the market rates you have whenever you have them, whether you are kicking off a bid or updating lanes mid-process.✨ Improvements
Bid lanes
- Next round, one click away. When a bid is in the Follow Up stage, we made it clearer that moving to the next round is an option. One click from the follow-up screen, no detours.
- % off market rate. Mkt percent-off is now visible inline. Get a quick glance of how different your S-RPM is from your market rate of choice.
- Historical volume sort. Default sorting for historical volume now applies only to Bill-To source data, so the lanes you are actually running for this customer get bubbled to the top.
- Tooltip refinements. We continued to refine the language of our tooltips to make sure it is clear what data we are presenting.
Import
- Continued refinement of fetching miles. We made a few updates to how we handle comma-separated ZIP lists and made sure we are getting accurate miles for those.
Export
- File naming on export. We improved the way we name files when exporting rates for the shipper. Round and date are now appended to the end of the filename as well.
🛠️ Fixes
Export
Fixed an issue where exporting rates back into your original shipper file could break after uploading a new import.🔮 Coming soon
Auto Rate
We are working on Auto Rate within a bid. It will use our pricing model and data from each lane, including interest level, historical data, and market data, to generate suggested rates. Interested in testing it early? Reach out to us to request access.🚀 New features
Map DAT rates the same way as feedback
Pull your DAT rate columns into bids using the same flexible mapping you already use for feedback. Run DAT on just a few lanes and import only those, instead of running it across the entire bid, and save credits.Imports
- Volume frequency works as a standalone column. If your volume frequency lives in its own column instead of being combined with volume, we handle it now. We can even tell when different lanes use different frequencies (Per Week, Per Month, 6 Month, and more).
✨ Improvements
Bid lanes
- Edit DAT and custom columns directly. DAT and custom columns are now editable inline in the lanes grid, so you can make quick updates when you only need to change a few lanes.
- Hover any column header for a description. Not sure what a column means? Hover over the header and the tooltip is right there. We have added more tooltips and refined the existing ones.
Exports
- Excel formatting survives the round trip. Fill colors and borders from your original Excel file are preserved when you export back out of BidRight.
- Dollar signs only where they belong. We cleaned up dollar formatting in exports so currency symbols only appear where they belong. Cleaner files, no surprise formatting.
Mapping
- Swing Door trailer types map correctly. Swing Door was falling through as unmatched in trailer type mapping. It resolves to the right type now.
- Hazmat, loading type, and trailer type mapping cleaned up. Several field values that were failing to match now resolve correctly on import. Fewer manual corrections needed after your file comes in.
🛠️ Fixes
Bid editing
- Tab through RPM without losing data. Pressing Tab after entering an RPM value was clearing the S-RPM field. It doesn’t anymore.
- Hard due dates save correctly. Edits to a bid’s hard due date were not always sticking. They save reliably now.
- Bid times save in the right timezone. Time values on bids were being offset by 5 hours on save. That drift is gone.
🔮 Coming soon
Export lanes to the DAT multi-lane template
Export lanes marked with interest straight to the DAT multi-lane template, so you can get DAT rates on those lanes more easily.🚀 New features
Carrier First regional fallback
When area-to-area data is too thin, BidRight falls back to region-level data so low-density lanes still get a Carrier First rate.Bid lanes
- Smarter Modeled OR calculations. Modeled OR auto-calculates when you enter S-MIN and stays current as you adjust lane minimums.
- RPM calculates from S-RPM. Enter S-RPM and RPM fills in automatically, so you can get back to the standardized RPM.
- All modeled calc columns in Back Calc. Every modeled calculation column is now visible when you are back-calculating. Full picture, no switching views.
- Allow zero FSC. You can now enter $0.00 as your expected total FSC. Previously, the system rejected it. Now it accepts zero when that is the real number.
Search and filters
- Excel-style filter search. Column filters now search as you type, just like Excel’s filter dropdowns.
- Bill-To search includes description. Bill-To search now matches the description field too, so you can find the right one faster when names alone are not enough.
Preserve Excel formatting
Imported and exported bid files keep their Excel formatting throughout the process.✨ Improvements
Performance
- Location normalization for larger bids. For larger bids with many unique locations, imports that previously failed now work.
- Large updates no longer freeze the UI. Bulk updates of 4,000+ lanes now process smoothly. No more frozen screen while the grid catches up.
- Delete unused customers. You can now remove customers that have zero bids.
Visual polish
- Consistent skeleton loaders. Loading states across all grids now look and animate the same way for a smoother experience while data loads.
- Miles warning sensitivity improved. The Customer Miles vs. Practical Miles warning is now smarter about when it fires, with fewer false alarms and more meaningful alerts.
🛠️ Fixes
Bid lanes
- Rounds Expected saves correctly. The Rounds Expected field on Update Bid now saves the value you enter. Previously it silently reverted.
- RPM and Modeled OR now agree. RPM-to-Modeled-OR and Modeled-OR-to-RPM now produce matching results. The rounding inconsistency is gone.
- Pre-set sort stays put. Editing a cell in the grid no longer reverts your sort order. Your view stays the way you set it.
🚀 New features
Manual column mapping in bid import
When auto-mapping misses, clear a wrong mapping or assign a column by selecting what data it contains. Fix import mapping without editing the spreadsheet.Benchmark rate per mile
Map a column to Custom Rate during bid import to show a manually entered market rate in the grid. Map to DAT when the shipper file includes DAT rates.Recalculate S-Rates at bid level
After you change the FSC peg or Breakthrough Fuel markup, recalculate S-Rates for every lane in one action instead of updating each lane.✨ Improvements
Modeled O/R upgrades
- Inbound and outbound revenue and cost columns show margin by leg instead of one blended number.
- Average deadhead and MPH columns added on every lane for faster lane review.
- Formula visibility: Click a modeled cell to view the formula and calculation (read-only).
- Lane-level fuel costs use the lane fuel rate when available instead of a flat average.
Bid import mapping
- Drop Trailer Preferred / Required fields map to Origin/Dest Setup instead of the wrong import target.
- Macro-enabled files (
xlsm,docm) import the same asxlsx.
FSC 6 support
We added a fuel peg to price bids in this new world of $6 fuel.Historical data context
Hover historical rates to see the data source and date range behind the value.Feedback prompt on next round
Advancing to the next round prompts you to import customer feedback first so lane updates match the shipper file.Industry field cleanup
We seeded the Industry list so you can pick from standard options instead of creating your own.🛠️ Fixes
- Max Weight import: “Max Weight” sets max only, not min and max.
- FM order matching: Case sensitivity works when pulling order data from FreightMath.
- Multi-file upload: Add Bid uploads every selected
xlsxfile, not just the first. - Hidden columns in export: Exported files omit columns hidden in the grid.
🔮 Coming soon
Connect your organization’s DAT key
Connect your organization’s DAT key to load DAT rates in BidRight. No column mapping or bid file import required.🚀 New features
Suggested RPM
Enter your target Modeled O/R and BidRight calculates the exact rate you need to send to hit it. No more reverse-engineering the math yourself.Quick filter pill for lanes with interest
One click to filter your bid down to only the lanes you’ve marked with interest.Benchmark rate per mile
Import any benchmark or market rate you have into BidRight. The Market Rate group band now holds multiple market rates side by side so you can compare them in one view.Capacity capture and export
You can now capture capacity during the bid process and include it in your export.✨ Improvements
Bid auto-mapping
A round of improvements to how we read incoming bid files:- Dry Hazmat detection on import.
- Breakthrough Fuel mapping, including fuel-per-mile when that’s all the shipper provides, plus better handling of the different ways shippers label the BTF column.
- Smarter logic for requirements, loading types, drop trailer preferred vs. required, and waypoints.
Country flags on Windows
Country flags now render correctly on Windows machines.🛠️ Fixes
- % Range Feedback now maps to the correct column on import.
- Interest marking no longer breaks when you enter values outside 0–3. It now handles whatever you throw at it.
- Min calc was always using Practical Miles. Updated to use Customer Miles first when available, falling back to Practical only if we don’t have Cust M.
BidRight Alpha is live as of May 5, 2026.
🚀 New features
New Help Center articles on FreightMath
We published walkthroughs that explain how BidRight connects to FreightMath, what the synced data means, and how to get the most out of it.✨ Improvements
Smarter mileage from less-than-perfect data
Mileage routing now behaves better when bid data is incomplete or coarse-grained.- Mileage on ZIP-3 lists. You can fetch miles for ZIP-3 lane lists without needing exact five-digit ZIPs.
- No more phantom cities. ZIP-only waypoints no longer get a city name forced onto them.
- Smarter resolution tagging. Waypoints without a ZIP are tagged with the correct resolution level.
Faster FreightMath refresh on large bids
Very large imports (for example, on the order of thousands of lanes) no longer leave FreightMath refresh feeling stuck for many minutes. Refreshes should feel noticeably snappier.🔮 Coming soon
Starting RPMs from a modeled FM O/R
We are working on seeding every lane with a starting RPM based on your modeled FreightMath O/R so you can reach a strong starting point faster on every bid.🚀 New features
Breakthrough Fuel is auto-mapped on import
BidRight now recognizes Breakthrough Fuel columns when you import a bid file. When available, BidRight uses Breakthrough Fuel instead of your company peg to calculate fuel adjustments.Import the lane data type
You can now import each lane’s data type and see how granular the shipper wants your bid, from city/state to state-to-state.Preview Excel files in BidRight
You can now open Excel files directly in BidRight without downloading them first.✨ Improvements
Historical data updates
- Lane data type fallbacks: When there is not enough data at a lane’s selected data type, the historical band falls back to area-to-area so you still get a benchmark.
- Updated text styling: You can now tell data specificity at a glance.
- Editable historical data: You can edit historical values inline when you know KSM has not synced a recent change yet.
Manual bid status controls
- Override workflow status: Mark bids as Awarded, Lost, or No Interest directly.
- No Interest status: Keep imported bids in your warehouse without actively pursuing them.
Adjustments now recalculate S-Rates live
When you manually update an Adjustment column or Customer Miles, S-Rates now recalculate in real time.More reliable location normalizing
- Better ZIP3 handling: Miles pull more reliably from ZIP3s and ZIP3 lists.
- Ongoing consistency improvements: Location matching continues to improve across imports.
