    Hi, I am working on a quote for van freight. I am more experienced with FB Freight and have really never quoted round trips.

    On a round trip with mileage one-way less than 100 miles, do you just double your flat rate? Do you quote a per mile rate or typically a flat rate? Also, in some cases the drivers will need to pallet jack the freight to the rear to be off-loaded with a fork truck, should there be a charge for that?

    Also, is it recommended to charge a fuel charge that will fluctuate monthly?

    I would much appreciate some feedback on this. Thank you in advance    .

    Of course not! Truckers will be happy to provide that service free of charge just for the opportunity to do business with you. :lol:

    Seriously, how can that even be a question? Don't you like to get paid for the things that make your job more difficult and time-consuming? SMH

    Hey man, if y'all wanna give me free labor, boy do I have some deals for you!

    OP. Do yourself a favor: do some research. Fire up google, and search for "accessorial charges". This has been your free hint for the day.

    One too many free hints. As always in these threads I hope the OP dies in a grease fire.

    Do yourself a favor and go search somewhere else. Most of the losers on here are just here to put you down.

    He's asking for free information about something really tangible and specific. On this forum that's a pretty big faux pas. Yeah I used that word in a sentence shoot me.
