Reconstruct the respondent's actual decision path for this specific quote: what price or terms they expected going in, what stood out (good or bad) about how the quote was communicated, and what ultimately drove their decision to accept, negotiate, or walk away. If they compared other carriers, probe what the winning or losing factor was. If they're still deciding, probe what would tip them one way or the other.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Includes a dedicated AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the respondent's actual decision path — why a quote was accepted, negotiated, or lost to a competitor — not just a static rating
  • Uses a constant-sum allocation question to force respondents to trade off price, speed, and clarity against each other rather than rating each in isolation
  • Pairs an opinion-scale speed check with a full matrix rating of the quote so you get both a quick pulse and a structured breakdown
  • Closes with an open-ended question on what would make it easier to say yes next time, giving qualitative texture that a plain form can't capture

SurveySparrow

Freight Quote Form Template | Shipping Quote Request

This is a fielding-ready form template aimed at collecting freight quote requests, built on SurveySparrow's conversational form format. It's structured around intake fields rather than post-quote experience feedback, so it serves a different stage of the shipping journey than an experience survey. Good for capturing quote requests, but not built to probe why a shipper accepted, negotiated, or walked away.

What it does well

  • Conversational, chat-style form format that can feel less clunky than a static form
  • Purpose-built for the freight/shipping quote use case
  • Likely supports basic branching and standard form field types

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up to dig into the reasoning behind a shipper's decision
  • No indication of automated quality scoring on open-ended responses
  • Appears focused on quote intake rather than post-quote experience or win/loss analysis

Typeform

Freight Quote Form Template

Typeform's template is a polished, fielding-ready form for requesting freight quotes, using its signature one-question-at-a-time interface. Like SurveySparrow's version, it's oriented toward the quote request itself rather than surveying satisfaction with a quote already received. It's a solid intake tool but not designed to explore acceptance, negotiation, or loss-to-competitor reasoning.

What it does well

  • Clean, well-known one-question-at-a-time UX that tends to have low drop-off
  • Easy to customize branding and question wording
  • Mobile-friendly and widely adopted for lead-gen style forms

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI interviewing — follow-up questions are pre-scripted, not generated from the respondent's actual answer
  • No built-in per-response quality scoring or automated analysis report
  • Static logic branching only, so it can't reconstruct a nuanced decision path the way a live AI probe can
