What moves the rate
The linehaul scales with the 33 miles. Fuel rides on top as a percentage, a chassis bills by the day, and terminal wait time past the free window bills by the hour. The fees that hurt, storage, per diem, demurrage, come from missed days, and dispatch's whole job is not missing them. Every fee explained, in the cost guide
