The lane rate is linehaul. The invoice adds the fuel surcharge from the table and any accessorials on the price list that actually happened, documented on the POD. The rate confirmation shows the expected total before the truck is dispatched.
You commit to a weekly volume on a lane, we commit primary and backup capacity and lock the linehaul for six or twelve months. Contract lane rates run about five percent below spot on the same lane; the fuel surcharge still floats. Volume shortfalls are trued up quarterly, not weekly.
Not on one-way loads. Round trips and multi-stop runs are quoted on the whole route, loaded and empty, with stop-offs at the published rate, and the quote shows it.
Net 30 on approved credit, ACH or check. Until credit is approved, card or ACH before pickup. Card payments carry a 3% fee. Balances past 30 days accrue 1.5% a month.
Yes. The estimator on this page uses the published rates and the current fuel surcharge; the contact form takes the lane, equipment and dates and the rate confirmation comes back by email within 30 minutes in business hours.
Lane, equipment, weight, dates. The rate confirmation shows linehaul, fuel and accessorials before the truck is dispatched.
