When the quote is per pallet, fewer pallets times the same rate is a lower linehaul. A fee charged once on both plans does not change.
Price the old pallet count and the new pallet count at the same rate and fuel. The difference is the planning savings.
The weight may stay the same while the handling-unit count drops. Price the bill the way the carrier bills it.
When the pallet count times your LTL rate passes the truckload quote for that lane. Compare both with the rates you have.
A pallet past the standard footprint can be billed as nonstandard. Keep cartons inside 48 by 40 when that is the booked size.
Handling units, product weight, and the quoted rate. The calculator supplies the units. The quote supplies the money.
Add them as accessorial rows. They sit on top of linehaul and fuel.
The planned unit count was not lower than the baseline, or the baseline was left blank.
Show cartons per pallet before and after, the two pallet counts, and both totals at the same rate.
Only if the quote depends on space or on handling units. A flat truckload rate may not move when you remove one pallet.
Units, rate, and fuel percent. Accessorials and a baseline count are optional.
One pallet the carrier counts. A short last pallet is still a handling unit if it ships.
