Pricing and rates

Set up lane rates, minimums and service add-ons

HaulerBase does not set your prices. The pricing engine takes the cubic volume of the confirmed inventory plus the qualification answers, applies the lane rates, minimums, margins and priced service add-ons you configured, and returns a quote. If a quote total is wrong, the number that produced it is one you control.

Section 01

What feeds a price

  • The cubic volume of the confirmed inventory, resolved through the HaulerBase Inventory Standard.
  • The lane the move falls on, derived from the pickup and delivery addresses.
  • Access at both ends — stairs, elevator, long carry.
  • The dates requested.
  • Any priced service add-ons the customer selected.

Section 02

Rate versions

Rate tables are versioned. You edit a draft, review it, and publish it when it is right; published versions stay on the record. Because a quote records the rate version that priced it, you can always answer why a quote issued last month says what it says.

That also means a rate change does not silently rewrite quotes already in a customer’s inbox. Existing quotes keep the version they were priced against until they expire.

Section 03

Before you publish a rate change

  1. 1Price a known move against the draftTake a job you have already quoted manually and check that the draft produces a total you would have charged.
  2. 2Check the minimumSmall moves are where a rate sheet most often produces a number nobody would accept. Confirm the minimum catches them.
  3. 3Check the edges of a lanePrice the shortest and the longest move you expect on that lane, not just a typical one.
  4. 4Publish, then watch the first few quotesThe first live quotes after a rate change are the cheapest place to catch a mistake.
