Create a truckload tariff – suggested workflow

The following is a suggested workflow for creating a Truckload tariff. Note that not all required fields are mentioned.

This example does not include set-up requirements for Fuel Surcharges. See Fuel Surcharges – Initial Set-Up for all set-up requirements for Fuel Surcharges.

Create Range Code for Standard Truckload Tariffs (if necessary). This step is only required prior to creating the first truckload tariff.

Range ID for Standard TL Tariff

Range ID	Description
TL	Standard TL Range

Range for Range ID of TL

Range To	Charge Type
99999.9999	Per-Unit Rate

Create Master Service for Truckload (if necessary). This step is only required prior to creating the first TL tariff.

Service ID	Description	Transit Mode
TL	Truckload	Truckload

Create Master Conditions (if necessary). This step is only required prior to creating the first truckload tariff.

Charge ID	Description	Unit Type	Condition	Equipment Specific Charge
DIST	Total Distance	Total Distance	Yes	Yes
STOP	Additional Stops	Stops	Yes	No

Create Truckload Carrier. This step is only required prior to creating the first tariff for this carrier.
Create Required Zones. This step is only required if the zones used by this tariff have not yet been established. In this example, the truckload tariff will use zones corresponding to selected cities in the state of Florida, USA.

Example:

Zone ID	Country Code	City
TAMPA	USA	Tampa
ORLANDO	USA	Orlando
MIAMI	USA	Miami
WPB	USA	West Palm Beach
OCALA	USA	Ocala
JAX	USA	Jacksonville
etc.

Create Truckload Tariff

Create Tariff Header

Tariff Attribute	Carrier ID	Unit of Measure	Currency
Carrier Specific Tariff	[SCAC as per Step 4]	Imperial	USD

Create Service for Tariff

Service ID	Allow Stops	Scheduling Method
TL	Yes	Distance Engine

Create Equipment Types for Tariff Service

Service ID	Equipment Type ID	Equipment Type Description
TL	48	48’ Trailer
TL	53	53’ Trailer
TL	53R	53’ Refrigerated Trailer

Note: The default equipment type (*DFT) should be removed for this tariff service combination after creating these equipment types.

Define Restrictions for Tariff Service Equipment Types. Restrictions define the operational minimums and maximums for freight being picked up or delivered.

Service ID	Equipment Type ID	Maximum Weight
TL	48	45000.0000
TL	53	50000.0000
TL	53R	50000.0000

Create Conditions for Tariff Service

Charge ID	Range ID
DIST	TL
STOP	TL

Create Lanes for Tariff Service

Status	Active
Service ID	TL
Origin Zone	[for example, TAMPA]
Destination Zone	[for example, ORLANDO]
Rate Code Control	Create Using Specified Value
Rate Code	[for example, 001]

Create lanes for all valid combinations of origin and destination zones.

Note: Lanes can be copied from another Tariff Service combination using the Duplicate Tariff Elements operation.

Create Rates for Tariff Service Condition DIST. For example:

Rate Setup for Distance Condition

Service ID	TL
Charge ID	DIST
Equipment Type	48
Rate Code Control	Use Existing
Rate Code	[for example, 001]
Minimum Charge	100.00

Rate Range for Distance Condition

Range From	Range To	Charge Type	Rate
0	999999.9999	Per-Unit Rate	1.45

Create rates for all valid combinations of Equipment Type and Rate Code.

Create Rate for Tariff Service Condition STOP. For example:

Rate Setup for Additional Stop Condition

Service ID	TL
Charge ID	STOP
Rate Code Control	Create Using Specified Value
Rate Code	*

Rate Range for Additional Stop Condition

Range From	Range To	Charge Type	Rate
0	999999.9999	Per-Unit Rate	50.00

Stop charge is not based on equipment.

Rates created for Rate Code of asterisk ("*") will apply to all lanes.
