How do I use Quick Quote on bidding portals?
The Drumkit Chrome extension reads the load you're viewing on a bidding portal and fills in Quick Quote for you, so you can price the load and enter your bid without retyping anything.

Before you start
Install the Drumkit Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Sign in to Drumkit in the extension.
Log in to your bidding portal in the same Chrome browser, the same way you normally do.
You don't need to share your portal password with us or set anything up in Drumkit.
Quote a load
Open a load on the portal. Go to the individual load or bid page. On a load board, click into a load or click "Bid" on its row.
Open the Drumkit sidebar. Click the Drumkit button on the page, or click the Drumkit icon in your Chrome toolbar.
Review the load details. Drumkit pre-fills origin, destination, dates, equipment and other details it finds on the page. Check them and correct anything that's missing or wrong.
Run Quick Quote. Drumkit prices the lane using your company's pricing sources.
Send your rate to the portal. Use the buttons at the top of the sidebar, described below.
The buttons you'll see
Submit line haul / Submit total sell: Drumkit enters your rate in the portal's bid field and submits the bid.
Input line haul / Input total sell: Drumkit enters your rate, and you click the portal's own submit button. This depends on how your account is set up. Contact your Drumkit rep if you'd like to switch.
Copy line haul / Copy total sell: You're on a supported portal, but not on a page where Drumkit can enter the bid. Copy the rate and paste it in, or go to the load's bid page.
We recommend double-checking in the portal that your bid went through.
Working through a list of loads
Drumkit shows one load at a time. On a load board, click "Bid" on any row and the sidebar will switch to that load. This is the fastest way to work down a list.
