Rates
Starting numbers for new truck builds, the Book a Truck rate estimate and carrier pay. The dispatcher can still adjust a single load on the build screen. Loads already built keep the prices they were saved with.
Line haul rate per mile
Truck MPG (used for the fuel surcharge)
Diesel base (one per equipment — the build screen uses the one for the truck you pick)

1 gallon = 1 shipping unit (a 3-gallon plant counts as 3). Entered manually since backhaul quantities usually aren't on the order record yet.
Return Ship: miles to the last delivery are paid at the normal rate per mile; return miles are paid at the dead head rate. Trip miles adds the two together.
Opens your route in a new tab — read the total mileage there and enter it above.
Line haul — 0 mi × $$0.00
Rate per mile auto-fills based on equipment — adjust anytime. Dead head miles below are already subtracted here so they aren't paid twice.
Unload fee — 0 delivery stop(s) × $$0.00
PENDER is charged one flat rate for the whole truck — no per-stop fee.
Round trip — the pickup and return legs aren't charged as stops, only real delivery stops. The last 175 mi back pay dead head instead of full rate.
Fuel surcharge — 0 mi × $0.73/mi $0.00
Dead head — % × mi × $/mi$0.00
Fuel rate computed from national average price — update manually, no live feed. Sprinter Vans run on gas, so they use the gas price below; everything else uses diesel. MPG auto-fills by equipment.
