What term is used when you inquire from a broker or shipper if a posted load is still available, possibly negotiating a better rate to book it?

• A. Book a Load
• B. TONU
• C. Under a Load
• D. Load Availability

Answer: (D)

The main idea is checking whether a posted freight opportunity is still open and may be renegotiated to secure it. The term used for that inquiry is load availability. It captures the act of contacting the broker or shipper to confirm the load is still on the table and to discuss terms if possible. If the load is available, you can move toward booking it; if not, you know to look for another option. The other choices refer to different things: booking a load means finalizing the reservation, TONU is a fee charged when a load isn’t used after being dispatched, and under a load isn’t a standard term for this scenario.
