Linehaul and fuel

Linehaul covers the truck and driver for the route. Distance and delivery restrictions affect the rate. Fuel surcharge is indexed to the DOE diesel average and changes weekly.

Chassis

Pool chassis are billed by the day from outgate to return. A split adds a trip to collect or return chassis at a separate facility. A flip is a lift between chassis.

Waiting time and dry runs

Waiting beyond the quoted free window at a terminal or receiver may be billed. A dry run is a dispatched trip that cannot be completed, for example because of a hold or unavailable container.

Storage charges

Demurrage applies when a container remains at the terminal past free time. Per diem or detention applies outside the terminal past the line’s free days. Yard storage is a separate charge; a pre-pull does not stop line detention or chassis charges.

Special equipment

Overweight, reefer, and hazmat moves may require additional equipment or compliance charges.

Before approving a quote

Check included charges, free waiting time, daily equipment rates, storage, and specialty fees. Verify availability and holds before dispatch, and confirm delivery and empty-return appointments.
