How do I book freight for a Sales Order in Silo?
When you create a sales order in Silo for agriculture transportation, a freight quote is automatically generated. You can click on the freight quote to expand it, see details or adjust origin / destination / date with no obligation. However, if you like the quote you can book it instantly from the sales order Screen.
Once received, Silo works with our network of trusted transportation providers to ensure your load arrives on time and at the specified cost, with minimal effort on your part. The initial quote assumes a climate-controlled full truckload (FTL) for agriculture transportation but can be adjusted to meet your specific needs.

How do I book freight for a Purchase Order in Silo?
After making a purchase order within Silo, our platform will generate a freight quote for you to review. The quote automatically selects a climate-controlled full truckload (FTL) for you, but you’ll be able to change this and other details (such as destination, date, and origin) if needed.
After you’ve confirmed the details and booked your freight on the purchase order screen, Silo will take it from there, working with the best transportation providers to get your cargo to where it needs to be in a timely and cost-effective manner.

How do I track a freight load with Silo?
Silo makes hauling produce and tracking your produce freight hassle-free. The Load Details screen provides a time-stamped history of load activity, pickup and delivery addresses, rate, and commodity type. This screen also links to any orders associated with the load, and has chat integration if you need to contact a Silo freight team member.
Read on to learn more about how you can track the transportation of your fruits and vegetables with Silo.
How do I review all my produce freight loads?
The Freight > Loads screen displays the transportation of all your fruits and vegetables, whether standalone or part of a sales or purchase order.
All pending and confirmed loads will be displayed in a table, where you can:
- Review details about the load (such as vehicle type, delivery and pickup information, and total rate).
- See the current status of the load.
- View any notes connected to the load (such as additional details about its current status).
- Click the load # to see a more detailed view of the load’s progress.
- Access details of the PO or SO that this load is connected to.
- Click "chat with us" to be connected to a member of the Silo Freight team.

What is Silo's freight accessorial policy?
We understand that transparent pricing is crucial for our users when identifying produce hauling rates. In general, Silo will honor the price shown at the time of your instant freight quote. However, there may be occasions where accessorial charges are significant enough that we will add them to the final invoice amount. Feel free to reach out to freight@usesilo.com if you have questions about additional non-standard accessorial charges related to produce transportation (e.g., reconsignment, unplanned route deviation, lumper charge) and check out our list of commonly assessed accessorial rates here.
What is Silo Freight Financing?
Silo's Freight Financing provides immediate cash flow to trucking companies hauling produce and other goods, allowing them to cover operational expenses (such as fuel costs, driver wages, equipment maintenance, and other business needs) without having to wait for the clients' payment.
