Why are some carrier details hidden?

Carrier phone, email, and other direct contact details stay hidden during bidding so the comparison and booking workflow stays inside the platform until the deposit step is complete.

Carrier details are hidden during the bidding stage on purpose. The platform is designed to keep comparison, messaging, and booking decisions inside the Transport-Wise workflow until the job moves forward properly.

1Why details are protected during bidding

Before a bid is accepted, the job is still in comparison mode. Hiding direct contact details stops the booking process from jumping outside the platform too early and keeps the bid process fairer and easier to track.

2What you can still do before details unlock

You can still compare bids, review carrier information shown in the job context, and message carriers inside the platform. That gives you a proper decision path without needing direct phone numbers or email addresses first.

3When details are released

The relevant contact details are released after you accept a bid and the deposit payment succeeds. That is the point where the booking moves from bidding into the live awarded workflow.

In short: hidden first for controlled bidding, unlocked later for the confirmed booking.
