Price with the Lane Rate Board
Management / owner — the money view is role-gatedThree numbers on every lane — what you earned, what the market pays (source and date shown), and your break-even computed from your own fuel, driver pay, and overhead. Decisions on math, not memory.
Each lane shows earned · market · break-even with a verdict, and the paybook below shows where your booked rates landed against the market.
The steps
- Open Loads & Rates ▸ Lane Rates — every lane shows its three lines and an honest verdict: healthy, below market, or below break-even.
- Check the break-even basis in the header: fuel $/mi + driver pay $/mi + overhead $/mi, computed from your own last-30-days data — it tightens automatically as more loads run.
- Set a rate agreement once per customer (per-mile, flat, or per-unit, fuel surcharge and minimums included) and every matching load arrives already priced — including loads the customer submits through their own link.
- Scroll to Booked vs market — the paybook: where every booked load landed against the benchmark current when it moved, by customer and by lane.
- On the dispatch board this same intelligence shows as grades, so dispatchers work the economics without seeing dollars.
- When a truck delivers, open backhaul suggestions — every known lane leaving that drop, what each pays, and the quote floor a paying return leg unlocks.
Gotchas
Good to know: Market lines need a benchmark source synced under Integrations — no benchmark, no fake number; the row says no benchmark yet.
Good to know: The quote floor is the differentiator: a paying backhaul lowers what the round trip needs, so you can hold a customer at a rate competitors can't touch — on math you can prove.
