Surcharges

How surcharges are applied

The system only includes a surcharge that is both Confirmed and valid in:

  • The total customer freight amount.
  • Driver costs.
  • Driver salary, where it applies.

For this reason, surcharges must be confirmed before charges are calculated so that the system uses the actual amounts.

Surcharges, actual amounts and the Confirm action

Check the actual amount and the confirmation status of each surcharge before returning to the freight charge screen.

Important: Only a surcharge that is both confirmed and valid is added to the total customer freight amount, the driver costs or the driver salary. An unconfirmed surcharge is not included in the calculation.

Loading the data and calculating charges

Once all surcharges are confirmed, return to the freight charge screen and click Load data and then Calculate to update the result.

If the surcharges are not confirmed, the total freight amount may be incomplete, the result will not match reality, and the customer or driver costs may be wrong.
