How to quote hazmat tanker loads

By the gallon........usually. Fuel surcharges are ok , but fuel is dirt cheap now. No shipper gonna want to pay one now.

 

Roughly, very roughly, charge by the mile on longer loads and flat rate for the local hauling. If you're hauling to construction sites or off road, charge by the hour.
If you're getting into the tanker business you should have a good idea of your customer base, their locations, and the time involved for each load. If you have a lot of travel time to reach the loading point, figure that into the rate also.
If you're doing any off-road work charge by the hour

 

High as hell.

You talking actual tanker loads?

 

Include demurrage. (Detention). First two hours free than after the 1/2 hour start charging. I had a lot of demurrage going to chemical plants.

 

In the tank world them 1st 2 aren’t normally free.

 

It was for who I was leased on to.

 

I did a air products load and you had to give 6 hours at the receiver.......

Needless to say I didn’t do many of them........
