Rate Methodology: These figures come from our own pricing model, not from observed load board data. It applies a regional base rate for each equipment class, adjusted for metro size. It does not incorporate live freight volume, seasonality, or any third-party rate index, and it is not a substitute for checking a load board. Treat these as a starting point for negotiation, not a quote — actual rates vary widely by lane, broker, season, and the specifics of the load.
