Modify freight pricing

In the Freight Maintenance dialog box, you can modify freight pricing used in Estimating. The freight information that you set in the Freight Maintenance dialog box can be applied to all estimates.

Click the Maintenance ribbon tab.
On the menu, select Estimating Maintenance > Freight Maintenance.
To change the costs of inbound freight and purchased items, in the Freight section of the Freight Maintenance dialog box, modify the trailer capacity, jobsite freight costs, and minimum freight charges.
To update the inbound freight costs, click Save at the bottom of Freight section.

Select or clear the Jobsite Freight $/CWT or Jobsite Freight $/KG check box according to your needs:


When the Jobsite Freight $/CWT or Jobsite Freight $/KG check box is...	It means that...
selected	Tekla EPM calculates freight as dollar per hundredweight or per kilogram. When the total shipping weight is less than the trailer capacity, the Freight Partial Truck multipliers are added to the total calculation for Freight Per CWT/KG.
cleared	Tekla EPM calculates freight as dollar per mile (the Freight Per Mile value is used). When Freight Per Mile is less than Minimum Freight Charge Per Job, the Minimum Freight Charge Per Job is used instead.

Add or update the weight range and multiplier for different load sizes

The Freight Partial Truck options are used together with the Jobsite Freight $/CWT/Freight Per CWT/KG options when the Jobsite Freight $/CWT/Jobsite Freight $/KG check box is selected.
