Setting up your Carrier Rates/Tariffs

Build your carrier rate/tariff tables in Rose Rocket to auto-rate orders, manifests and quotes

Building your carrier's rate/tariff tables in Rose Rocket saves you time by auto-rating orders, manifests and quotes, so you no longer have to manually reference and look up rates on an Excel sheet (or anywhere else where rates are stored).

More importantly, this will show you all carriers with which you have a pre-negotiated rate, so you can choose the most cost-effective partner. 

See below for our step-by-step guide on how to set up your carrier rates/tariffs. 

1. Go to the Ratings Module on the left and select the Tariffs Board.

2. Select "Create Tariff" on the top right. 

3. Fill out the Tariff details.

4. Select the Fuel Surcharge that will be added to this Tariff. Please see this Help Article on setting up your Fuel Surcharges.

5. Next, we need to set up the Tariff dimensions. 

*Currently, our rating engine supports full truck load flat rates. Coming soon you will be able to built less than truck load rates as well.*

6. Enter your full truck load dimensions. For example 0-44,000 lbs is accepted as our full truckload. This means if you put in an order, no matter what, the rate will hit as long as it's within 0-44,000 lbs. 

7. Now, set up your Lanes. This will determine from where to where does the tariff apply. 

8. Select create lane. Name the lane anything you'd like, and then input the origin and destination. 

9. Then input minimum cost, maximum cost, minimum time and maximum time if applicable. 

10. Lastly, put in the rate for that lane. 

To apply the tariff to a specific carrier, follow the steps below:

1. Click on "Partners".

2. Click on the Partner you want to apply a tariff onto.

3. On the right-hand data panel - scroll down to Tariffs.

4. Click on the empty space and select the tariff you want to apply to that carrier. 

5. Click on "Save".

To apply a Carrier rate/tariff to a Manifest, or to see all applicable Carrier rates on a Manifest, select the Rate button in the Add Partner Costs widget. 

To select a Carrier rate/tariff when building a quote or to see all applicable tariffs for a particular lane, select the Find partner rates widget in any given quote.
