10314I think you know whether you've won a bid or not, so not sure why you need that feature.<div>I wouldn't worry about those that have been unsuccessful. It'll just make you paranoid about your pricing policy. If you're quoting 70-75p per mile then rest assured you're in the right ballpark.</div><div>I see you got one today from H so you're obviously doing something right</div>

1333Not sure how I missed the first response above, but no, I didn't win the job with H unfortunately. Think I was the only one to quote on here, someone elsewhere must have phoned or CX'd it perhaps.<div><br></div><div>As for two yesterday, well spotted, are you officially my stalker now? lol</div><div><br></div><div>As you have said in previous threads [name], making use of the way this should work. A job from you put me in the vicinity of another job which, more by luck than judgement, was just after I'd completed your job.</div><div><br></div><div>I still stick by some of what I asked for in the first post though, not from the point of view of getting paranoid about pricing. What I would like is access to see if I mis-priced something by my dyslexic typing. Also, to see if I regularly quote to one specific company and never win, at least then you can ask them why. I have already had experience of this, I asked one vendor whether I was miles out pricing or too far away from pickup etc and the reply was 'best to call as we're too busy to check the online bids'</div><div><br></div><div>That is why I called you almost immediately after placing the bid on mtvan, just in case that was your preferred method.</div><div><br></div>

1029If you put in a quote online, make sure you write it down and keep it. However, quoting via the online system is not to be recommended.<br><br>It's always better to call and submit your quote verbally (That goes for CX as well as MTVan).<br><br>But in both cases, write it down and keep it. Then you can look back at your leisure.<br>

1029Just to elaborate on my comment that quoting online is not recommended, the reason I say this is:<br><br>People working in a busy office with telephones ringing almost as soon as they have put down the receiver don't have time to look at emails.<br>
