The operating question
A rate notice is useful when it answers three questions: what changed, from when, and on which lanes.
What to decide, in order
- Rate The change, per lane, with its effective date.
- Space Availability noted separately, because it moves before price.
- Action What a client should do now, if anything.
Quick reference

Where the handoff usually breaks
Rate notices that arrive after the booking are history, not information.
What good looks like
A client can price a shipment the day the notice is published.
