A Contracted Lane, also known as a Contracted Rate, is a fixed rate agreement for transporting a specific number of loads from Point A to Point B over a set period, typically up to a year. This locked-in rate between a shipper and a carrier remains constant regardless of market fluctuations, offering predictability and ease in business planning.
Alvys now supports the application of load-level Contracted Rates, making your financial calculations more accurate and hassle-free. When users create a load, if the load's details, like the first pickup and last delivery stops, match a Customer Contract Lane, the system automatically applies the Contract Rates to your financial computations, including Linehaul, Fuel Surcharge, and Accessorials.
You can find and apply these Contract Rates directly from the Customer Profile under the section "Contracted Lanes & Fuel Surcharges". This feature is designed to make your workflow smoother and more efficient.
Alvys caters to various needs by supporting multiple types of Contract Rates:
