The State & Regional tab in RateView is designed to give you a quick look at the average rates (either Broker-to-Carrier Spot or Shipper-to-Carrier Contract) from a state-to-state view or a region-to-region view.
Spot State
There are several options that can be used to adjust what is displayed in this view to your preference.
- Truck Type allows you to select Van, Reefer or Flatbed based on what you want to see in the
chart
- Fuel Surcharge allows to include the standard fuel charge with DAT, no fuel charge at all, or a
custom fuel surcharge of your choosing
- Time Frame allows you to select the time frame for the rates that display in the chart, ranging
from as little as 1 day, to as much as 1 year
In this same area, you can also choose to Fill empty cells with 1 Yr Avg. When picking a time frame like 7 days where not all lanes may have a rate, this option will ensure that the field is populated with a relevant rate.
Hovering over a rate on the chart will highlight the row and column to make it easier to read. When viewing a broker rate, the highlight will be in orange.
This chart can also be downloaded to a spreadsheet if needed. This can be useful to keep for historical purposes if you choose.
