0upvotes

Build a freight rate that covers the cost of actually running the load — the per-mile economics, the deadhead and detention nobody prices, and the accessorials that decide whether the lane is profitable. Use when asked to quote a freight rate, price a lane, work out cost per mile, decide whether to accept a load, or explain why a lane is losing money. Produces the fully-loaded cost per mile, the lane economics including empty miles, the accessorial schedule, the break-even and target rate, and the accept-or-decline recommendation.

# Freight Rate Quote

Lanes lose money on the miles nobody billed for. The rate looks fine on the loaded leg, then deadhead, detention, and a reload that took two days turn a profitable quote into a loss. This builds the rate from a real cost per mile, prices the empty and waiting time honestly, and produces a number that either covers the load or tells you to decline it.

## What This Skill Produces

- **Fully-loaded cost per mile** — fixed and variable, including the costs usually left out
- **Lane economics** — loaded and empty miles, transit time, and the realistic reload position at destination
- **The accessorial schedule** — detention, layover, extra stops, and the terms that make them collectable
- **Break-even and target rate** — the floor, the target, and the margin between them
- **The accept-or-decline call** — with the reasoning, including when a below-target rate is still correct
- **The sensitivity view** — what happens to the margin if fuel, detention, or the reload assumption moves
