When determining the rate for a load, we prioritize the carrier's offered rate stored within the project for that specific carrier.
This means that even if you have a different Target Pay set for the load, the carrier's offered rate will be used when sending out a live load offer matching the project lane.
Here's how it works:
- Carrier's Offered Rate: This is the rate a carrier typically charges for similar loads. It's stored in the carrier's profile within the project.
- Target Pay: This is the desired rate you want to pay for a specific load, the same rate stored in your TMS.
Example:
If your Target Pay for a load is $5200 but you have an offered rate of $5000 for that carrier, the system will display $5000 as the rate for that carrier on the load. Other carriers without a specific offered rate will show the $5200 Target Pay in their offer email.
To update a carrier's offered rate:
1. Go to the carrier's profile within the project and click the Actions button.
2. Select Update Rate.
3. You will be asked to enter the Carrier Rate and the date when you received this rate from the carrier.
4. Click Add Rate to update.
5. You'll see a note saying "Your rate was submitted successfully," and then the updated rate will be reflected in the carrier's profile.
By managing the carriers' offered rates, you can maintain accurate rate information and improve your load pricing process.
