Question

Minimum Charges for Contract Sections and Lanes

Answer

Minimum Charges for Contract Sections and Lanes

You can set up minimum charges for your contract sectionsand lanes.

When Sterling TMS calculatesthe charges for a shipment it compares the following values and usesthe highest amount:

  • The linehaul charge computed for the shipment if the contractlane uses a per-unit rating method (such as Full Route Distance).
  • The minimum charge specified for the contract lane.
  • The minimum charge specified for the contract section. This chargeis only used if you do not specify a minimum charge for the contractlane.
Sterling TMS usesthe following rules to implement minimum charges:
  • Sterling TMS usesthe minimum charge you define for a contract section as the defaultvalue for the minimum charge for each rating lane in that section.
  • If the contract lane uses a flat rate Sterling TMS always usesthis rate even it is less than the minimum charge specified for thecontract section.
  • If you enter a minimum charge of $0.0 for a rating lane SterlingTMS uses the minimum charge you defined for the contract section thatcontains this lane. If you enter a minimum charge that is more than$0.0 Sterling TMS usesthis minimum charge even if the minimum charge for the contract sectionis higher.
