An email via Artimus™ AI grants access to the RFQ Load Board, allowing the ability to view and bid on available Loads that match preferred lanes.

Your Truck Postings

All Truck Posting records created from the request to Artimus™ are displayed in the Your Truck Postings section on the RFQ Load Board.

If there’s no origin or destination Stop in the Truck Posting record, the City and State fields use a question mark (?) as a placeholder.
