After we released our robust Truckload Workflow, we stayed hard at work adding new features and expanding current ones, such as Contracted Rates.
This feature allows you to upload contracted truckload rates manually or via a spreadsheet so you can compare them directly with your spot quote bids. From there, you can Award and book accordingly.
Adding Contracted Rates
- Full Access users will click their name in the upper right-hand corner of any Freightview screen to access the Settings. From here, select Contracted Rates about halfway down on the left:
- Select + Add contracted rates to upload pricing using the CSV spreadsheet or individual lane/contract.
- When creating/uploading your rates, you can select from four types of contracted rates: Postal code to postal code, Postal code to Range, Postal code to state, and State to state.
- Another option to select is the Minimum rate; this will be applied if the rate type is per mile and the total doesn't meet the minimum.
- We also offer an example.csv of the format needed to complete the uploaded rates option.
Additional Points
- A rate will only return if the pickup date falls within the contract's date range.
- When “Fuel incl.” is set to “Yes,” the fuel price will be assumed in the total.
- These contracts will not apply to Multi-stop shipments.
- You can search your contracted rates across all carriers at once and sort the contracts by invalid/expired.
- You can search by Contract #, Origin, or Destination.
- Preview your contracted rates file and/or make edits before completing the upload.
