🚀 Freight Weight–Based Rate Sheets

What’s New

You can now select Freight Weight as a variable when setting up rate sheets and define pricing based on weight ranges.

For example:

• 0–500 lbs → $0.10 per lb
• 501–1,000 lbs → $0.30 per lb

The system will automatically apply the correct rate based on the total weight of the load.

1. Set Up a Rate Sheet

Go to:
Accounting → Customer Rate Sheets

• Create or open a rate sheet
• Click Add New Item
• Select:
  • Account Item: Hauling Fee
  • Mode: By Variable
  • Variable: Freight Weight
  • Rates Application: Rule-based Rates

Then define your weight ranges and rates.

2. Build Your Load

• Create a load under Dispatch
• Add your commodities and weight
• The system will total the freight weight

3. Apply the Rate Sheet

After entering weight:

• Go to Step 3: Load Charge
• Select your Customer Rate Sheet

The system will:

• read the total weight
• match it to the correct range
• calculate the charge automatically

⚠️ Important
