Viewing freight charges

Use the Freight Charges tab to view buy and sell rates as calculated by the rating and routing process. You can enter or edit buy and sell rates if they do not exist or if they require a change. After you enter or update information, click Update to save the information.

The buy rate represents the cost that the payer of freight is charged by carriers. When a shipment is grouped with other shipments on a carrier route, the buy rate is a prorated value based on a total buy rate for the route. The sell rate represents the price that the payer of freight charges customers. The sell rate is based on a percentage or flat charge increase to the buy rate or calculated by using a specific sell rate routing guide.
