The calculator starts from your projected carrier linehaul per mile and applies mode, urgency, and lane demand multipliers. It adds fuel percentage, accessorials, and insurance to get broker cost basis, then applies target gross margin to produce a customer-facing quote.
adjusted linehaul = miles × carrier rate × mode × urgency × lane factor
fuel = adjusted linehaul × fuel surcharge %
cost basis = linehaul + fuel + accessorials + insurance
customer quote = cost basis + (cost basis × target margin %)
