Overview
Freight Rates allow for the customization of truck-specific rates on a Dispatch Order. They also allow for mixing and matching of pay units (e.g., load, ton, hour) between the hauler pay rate and the customer charge rate on a given order. For example:
Hover over the Truck Types dropdown to view hauler and customer rates on a Dispatch Order.
Freight Rates work in a hierarchy as there are many different areas where customized rates can be created. From Lowest to Highest Importance:
- Imported Rates from Oracle/Apex
- Sales Order Product Rates
- Destination Rates
- Fleet Hourly Override Rates
Sales Order Product Rates
Freight Rates can be customized at the Sales Order Product level. If customized rates are present, all DO’s will inherit these rates. Hover over the $ on the Sales Order tab to view these freight rates by truck type.
To modify the freight rates on a Sales Order, select Edit Sales Order Item on the menu. Then select the truck types you wish to override and click “Save Changes”.
NOTE: Custom Sales Order Product rates will be overwritten if new rates are then imported again from Apex.
Destination Override
Destinations can also have custom freight rates. To modify the freight rates on a destination, either edit an existing destination or create a new destination. Then select the Customize Trucks and Rates for this location check box, add the rates for each truck type, and save the rates.
NOTE: Custom Destination rates are not impacted if new rates are imported again from Apex
Once a hauler accepts an assignment, and the assignment is in a Scheduled status, the rates on the assignment will not reflect any additional rate changes to the Sales Order, destination, or changes made via integration. Assignments in a requested status, or assignments created after additional rate changes are made to the SOI, destination, or via the integration will reflect the new rates.
Fleet Hourly Override
Some haulers may have specific contracts to haul on an hourly rate. These rates are managed on the FLEET screen. To set the hourly rate for a specific hauler:
- Find the hauler for whom you would like to set the hourly rate and select Hourly Rate from the shortcut menu.
- Select the truck type(s) from the dropdown list, enter the appropriate rate for each truck type, and click SAVE RATE.
- Hover over the $ icon to view the hourly rates that you created for the selected hauler.
