Glossary

What is a rate card?

A rate card fixes prices for known lanes and brackets so recurring business quotes instantly. Spot requests fall outside it — that is where lane history and judgment take over.

In freight operations

In practice most SMB desks run a hybrid: rate cards for contracted clients, history-grounded spot quotes for everything else.

Automation should respect that split — drafting from the card where one applies, and from lane history where it does not.
