Freight Quote Request Form template
Collect the pickup and delivery locations and the cargo type for a freight quotation. Copy the accessible markup, adjust the fields, and publish it with Core Forms.
What your visitor sees
Plain semantic HTML rendered through the same default form theme Core Forms applies on the front-end. Try it — this demo confirms inline and sends nothing.
Demo only. On your site, the same markup wires into the normal Core Forms action loop — email, Slack, Google Sheets, webhook, whatever you configure.
The HTML behind it
Copy this block, paste into Core Forms → Add New Form → Fields tab, save. Field names map to merge tags automatically in your action templates.

What this freight quote request form template is for
Use it for couriers, movers and freight companies that quote per shipment.
This version asks only for information needed to complete that job. Ask for weights, dimensions and customs documents in the follow-up, once you know the shipment is viable.
The markup uses explicit labels, useful autocomplete values, and fieldsets for grouped choices. You can edit every line instead of working around a locked template schema.
Every field, and why it's there
| Field | Type | Required | Why it's there |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your name | text | Yes | Identifies the person so the reply can use their name. |
| Email address | email | Yes | The reply and the automatic acknowledgement both go here. |
| Phone (optional) | tel | Optional | Optional, for people who would rather take a call. |
| Pickup city and country | text | Yes | The pickup city and country. |
| Delivery city and country | text | Yes | The delivery city and country. |
| Cargo type | select | Yes | Parcels, pallets, furniture or other. |
| Anything else we should know? (optional) | textarea | Optional | Optional room for anything the fixed questions missed, capped at 2,000 characters. |
| You may contact me about this request. | checkbox | Yes | Permission to reply about this request only. It does not subscribe anyone to marketing email. |

Use form analytics →Freight Quote Request Form template questions
Is this freight quote request form template free to copy?
Yes. The HTML on this page is free to copy and adapt. Core Forms is required only if you want its WordPress submission handling, inbox, actions, analytics, and other plugin features.
Can I change or remove fields?
Yes. The form is plain HTML. Remove any field you cannot justify, rename fields before collecting data, and keep every label associated with its control.
Does the template save submissions in WordPress?
Core Forms can save successful submissions in its WordPress inbox. Storage is a per-form setting, so you can disable it for forms whose data should not be retained.
Can the form send a confirmation email?
Yes. Add an autoresponder action, map its recipient to the submitted email field, and state what the person should expect next.
How should I test it?
Use realistic valid data, missing required data, a malformed email address, keyboard-only navigation, and a narrow mobile viewport. Also verify every configured action and redirect.
The template is free. The plumbing is the product.
