AcubidPro is a mobile app created with the everyday Owner Operator in mind. We took the labor of bidding on loads and created a tool that makes it less time consuming and more accurate. AcubidPro wants you to know your operating cost up front to ensure that you are profitable. AcubidPro provides AcubidPro Profile page to calculate the Operating Cost which takes input parameters –Truck Payment, Fuel, Driver Pay, Maintenance, Insurance, Miscellaneous (IFTA, Tags, etc.), and Miles per day. Operating Cost is calculated on Monthly as well as on Yearly basis. On BidProposal page distance in miles between two places is calculated first; and then multiple per mile rate are calculated with respect to different base rate. Then the average of these per mile rates is displayed in Optimal Bid Range together with the total of expenses. One to one mapping is implemented on the Broker Rate Sheet i.e. one record of Bid Proposal Sheet is mapped one record of Broker Rate Sheet page; where Agreed Rate is entered together with the Broker Name and Profit is calculated. Then in the list the last five mapped records are shown and summary is shown in green frame. The history of last thirty days mapped records of Broker Rate Sheet is displayed on the Bid Result page and is sent as email to registered user also. The history is summarized and shown in green frame. The most important functionality is Monthly Subscription Functionality. User is provided with Monthly Subscription Functionality which is Auto Renew. Once user downloads the application and installs on his/her device, after login the screen to buy Monthly Subscription ($17.99) is displayed. User is directed to payment options and on successful payment AcubidPro dashboard (Home Screen) opens. User can see his subscription history details on AcubidPro Subscription History menu item. He can cancel his subscription by clicking on Cancel Subscription button provided.
