Every lane has a price.
The system should know it.
Zone pairs, lanes, mileage bands, pallet counts, service levels and surcharges. Set the rules once and every quote prices itself — with a separate card for the customers who negotiated their own.
From rate card to invoice
Set the rules once, and stop pricing by hand
Rate cards
Price by zone pair, lane, mileage band or pallet
Build the grid you actually quote from: pallet count against mileage band, with a flat or per-pallet price between two zones for the pairs that need their own number. Lane rates come in from an imported rate sheet. A lane rate beats a zone rate, and a zone rate beats the grid.
- Pallet count by mileage band price grid
- Zone-pair overrides, plus lane rates from imported sheets
- Pallet discounts, mileage surcharges, fuel and rush add-ons
Service levels
Each service level carries its own price rules
Name the shipment types you actually sell — each one holds its own markup, its minimum price per mileage band, and rates per hour, pound or cubic foot in bands. Fragile, hazardous, refrigerated and overweight add fixed amounts on top.
- Markup and minimum price per mileage band
- Rates per hour, pound or cubic foot
- Fragile, hazardous, refrigerated, overweight
Contract pricing
The customer who negotiated a deal gets that deal
Give an account its own rate card, its own shipment types and its own charge list, while everyone else stays on the company default. When the contract ends, revert that customer to the default in one action.
- A separate rate card per customer
- Per-customer shipment types and charges
- Revert to the company default in one step
Accessorials & waiting time
The extras end up on the invoice, not in someone's head
Keep a charge catalogue with per-unit rates, and put percent-based surcharges and included-unit allowances on the rate cards that need them. Waiting time recorded at the stop becomes a billable charge on the invoice, above the free allowance you set.

What keeps the numbers honest
Built from your own invoices
Fill the grid from what you already billed, review every number, then save it. Scope it to one customer.
The odd lane says why
A cross-border order your rate cards cannot price is flagged on the order with the named reason — no matching card, a band with no rate, a card outside its validity dates.
Test before it prices a load
Enter miles, hours, tolls and an item, and see the cost lines the service level produces before you save it.
