Freight Close

Rate tables

The cards the engine prices with — effective-dated. When a carrier reprices, save a new version effective from that month: history keeps its own card (prior closes reconstruct unchanged) and the next close prices on the new one. The calibrated monthly index still rides on top, and printed-vs-calibrated divergence is always flagged.

Card in force

Pick a month to see (or change) the rate card the engine prices that month with. Editing never touches history: it creates a new version from your chosen month forward.

Calibration: printed card vs invoice reality

Each carrier applies a monthly rate index on top of the printed card. We calibrate it from invoices; the printed card alone is stale — in both directions.

CarrierCalibrated indexRange (6 mo)Printed card
Peak Logistics0.806×0.611.07runs +24.0% high
Heartland Freight1.121×1.001.23runs -10.8% low
Coastal Express1.170×0.791.19runs -14.5% low

Peak's printed card runs high (≈ the findings' ~20%); Heartland's and Coastal's run low recently. Calibrating from invoices catches both directions — a static card cannot.

Peak mileage table

Peak prices per billing mile. The engine uses mileage calibrated from invoice history (keyed by destination); the printed card is the fallback and a geo estimate the last resort — every fallback is flagged, never silent.

Per-origin assumption (DATA forensics). Calibrated mileage is keyed by destination only — invoice history does not separate Denver-origin from Salt Lake City-origin lanes. Non-Denver-origin shipments are priced at the destination's Denver-primary calibrated mileage and flagged (5 origin-assumption, 1 geo fallback, 1 out-of-territory) — never silently using a Denver figure for an SLC shipment.

Classification lookups
