Definition

A differential rate, also known as a variable rate, is a pricing mechanism in transportation or freight services where different rates are applied based on specific factors or conditions. These factors may include distance, volume, weight, time of year, service level, or other variables. Differential rates allow for more flexible pricing structures that align with the unique requirements and characteristics of different shipments or customers within the supply chain.
