Multi-carrier LTL comparison — returns 30+ carrier rates ranked by price (slow, ~15s). Call IMMEDIATELY AFTER ltl_quote with the same parameters; this fills in the 'finding other carrier rates…' section the fast quote card was showing. Useful when the user wants to compare carriers or pick a specific one. Do not declare a winner or recommend a specific carrier; just present the ranked list.
