      Please note these net rate tables are estimates only. Net rate tables exclude all potential surcharges except for fuel where applicable (common examples of surcharges: signature required, residential, delivery area surcharge, and more). Fuel changes on a weekly basis.

    • Surcharge rates:
      Surcharges may change based on the carrier’s discretion.
      There are a few common surcharge rates listed in the lower left corner of the rate table page. In this section you may see surcharges listed that do not apply to you; conversely there may be surcharges applied to your shipping services that are not listed here.

    The rate cards will be live in eFactory as of January 31, 2023.
    The base rates are currently in effect now. The next time they are updated is likely next January when carriers adjust their rates again. Surcharge rates may change, and our transportation team will make updates as necessary.
