What is a freight rate sheet?

A freight rate sheet (or tariff) is the forwarder's table of prices: freight rates by lane and equipment, plus origin, destination, delivery and clearance charges, with currencies and validity dates.

A good rate sheet is the single source every quote is priced from, so it should be easy to update when carriers change rates.

Laneworks prices quotes directly from your rate sheet, in whatever format you keep it, and updates it when you forward a carrier's rate notice.

What a good rate sheet contains

Keeping it current

Rate sheets go stale fast. The forwarders who quote quickest have one owner for the sheet and merge carrier notices the day they arrive. Use our free rate sheet checklist, or email your sheet to try@getlaneworks.com for a free health check.
