Reviewing the Stop Charges tab

Truckload carriers commonly assess stop charges when moving multi-stop shipments, shipments with multiple pick up or drop off locations.

This page is optional. You must set the Transit Unit format to Distance per Hour or Distance per Day for rate contracts that support multi stop shipments.

This table shows the tab elements, or fields, and their descriptions:

Tab element Description
Multi-tiered (required) Select Yes to indicate a different charge amount for each stop. Select No if the same rate applies for all stops.
Charge Type (required) Specify the format for the stop charge. Valid types include:
  • Flat Charge per load
  • Cost/Weight
  • Cost/Hour
  • Cost/Distance
  • % of Freight Charge
Rate This field applies when you select a charge type from the list. Insert the rate that is associated with the charge type selected. If you select Flat Rate for the Charge Type value, you must specify a Rate value.
Min Indicates the minimum charge that is associated with the charge type selected. If you select No Charge or Flat Rate for the Charge Type value, the Min field value is not applicable. If you select a Charge Type value other than No Charge or Flat Rate, you must specify a minimum charge.
Stops 1 - 8 Specify a stop off charge for each stop. The number of stop charges cannot exceed the value in the Max Num of Stops field on the Basics tab. If the Multi-tiered selection is set to Yes, you must specify a stop off charge for all eight stops.
Effective Date This is the date the surcharge goes into effect. Note that if you do not specify an Effective Date and an Expiration Date on the Stop Charges tab, the effective and expiration dates you specified on the Basics tab are used.
Expiration Date This is the last date the surcharge is in effect. The surcharge becomes invalid at the end of this date. Note that if you do not specify an Effective Date and an Expiration Date on the Stop Charges tab, the effective and expiration dates you specified on the Basics tab are used.
