Service levels
Express / Standard / Hot Shot — how each scales price and transit time, and sets the cubic factor.
Service levels scale a booking’s price and transit time, and set the cubic factor used to convert volume into chargeable weight. Manage them under Rates → Service Levels.
The built-in levels
Section titled “The built-in levels”| Level | For | Cost multiplier | Cubic factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Express | Premium, fastest | ×1.50 | 250 |
| Standard | The default | ×1.00 | 333 |
| Hot Shot | Dedicated / urgent | ×1.85 | 250 |
Cost & transit multipliers
Section titled “Cost & transit multipliers”- The cost multiplier scales the freight price — Standard is the ×1.00 baseline, Express and Hot Shot cost more.
- The transit multiplier scales the delivery lead time relative to the standard transit.
Cubic factor
Section titled “Cubic factor”Freight is charged on the greater of actual weight or cubic (volumetric) weight. The cubic factor (kg/m³) does that conversion:
cubic weight (kg) = volume (m³) × cubic factor chargeable weight = max(actual weight, cubic weight)Each level has its own factor, and the selected level’s factor (e.g. Express 250) powers
the booking form’s live chargeable-weight preview. The priced amount uses the
engine’s chain instead: the rate card’s own cubic_factor override → the tenant default in
Rate card settings.
