Q09
AI Interview
Clarify any ambiguous or incomplete cargo details the respondent gave — especially around dimensions, weight, piece count, or any special handling flags they selected. If they described the shipment as 'oversized' or flagged hazardous materials, get the specific dimensions or hazmat class needed for accurate quoting. If a weight or quantity looks like a rough estimate, ask whether it's firm or approximate. Note anything that still remains unclear for the quoting team to follow up on directly.

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 step that clarifies ambiguous or incomplete cargo details — like unclear dimensions or hazmat class — before the request reaches routing, something static form fields can't do
- Captures the full shipment picture in one flow: origin, destination, cargo type, dimensions/weight/quantity, special handling, and pickup timing/flexibility
- Separates quantitative intake fields (short-answer, multiple-choice, date) from the open-ended AI follow-up interview probe, so routing teams get structured data plus AI-clarified specifics in the same submission
- Ends with contact capture (name, company, email, optional phone) so the quote request is immediately actionable by a human routing team
Typeform
Freight Quote Form TemplateA purpose-built freight quote template covering shipment basics in Typeform's conversational one-question-at-a-time format. It's a static form: every respondent sees the same fixed question set regardless of how vague or detailed their cargo description is. There's no mechanism to detect or follow up on ambiguous entries like unclear dimensions or hazmat class.
What it does well
- Purpose-built for freight quote requests, so field selection is domain-relevant
- Typeform's polished conversational UI is generally good for completion rates
- Likely supports Typeform's standard logic/branching for basic conditional paths
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up to clarify incomplete or ambiguous cargo details before it reaches a routing team
- No automated per-response quality scoring to flag incomplete submissions
- No transparent prompt methodology since there's no AI interviewing layer at all
SurveySparrow
Shipping Request Form TemplateA general shipping/shipment request form template rather than one tailored specifically to freight brokering, so it may need customization to capture freight-specific cargo details like hazmat class or dimensions. Like other static templates, it collects whatever the respondent enters without probing for missing or unclear specifics.
What it does well
- Chat-style form format may improve completion rates versus long static forms
- Business-template library suggests reasonable customization options for shipping-adjacent fields
- Likely integrates with SurveySparrow's broader survey distribution tools
Where it falls short
- No AI follow-up step to clarify vague cargo descriptions before a broker or carrier prices the shipment
- No voice AI interview option for respondents who prefer speaking shipment details
- No automated quality scoring on individual responses
