How to Calculate Freight Accessorial Charges

  1. Enter the shipment count and units on the same freight plan.
  2. Separate base freight from fixed accessorial charges and the amount charged per shipment.
  3. Review total surcharge, per-unit impact and uplift against the base freight amount.

Example

Twelve shipments with $900 fixed and $75 each create $1,800 accessorials, $0.75 per unit and 25% uplift on $7,200 base freight.
