Revenue Types Explained
Flat Rate
A flat rate is a pricing model where a fixed amount is charged for a service, regardless of factors such as distance, weight, or fuel costs. The total revenue remains the same unless manually adjusted.
Line Haul + Fuel Surcharge
This revenue type separates transportation costs into two components:
Line Haul – the base transportation charge
Fuel Surcharge – an additional charge that accounts for fuel-related expenses
This pricing structure provides greater flexibility and helps reflect changes in transportation costs.

Percentage-Based Fuel Surcharge
The fuel surcharge is calculated as an agreed percentage of the line haul charge. This allows fuel costs to scale proportionally with the transportation rate.
