Example: The shipper applies an uplift to the calculated freight because the shipper wants to make a profit on the freight. Rather than pass on their full rate discount benefit to the customer, the shipper chooses to uplift the freight by a percentage. The customer still gets cheaper freight because of the shipper freight deal with the carrier.

Example: The shipper has negotiated rates with multiple carriers. Each carrier uses a base set of freight rates. The carriers then provide different discounts on the base set of rates, depending on where the carrier is delivering the goods. The shipper can configure one Charge Table with the base set of rates and then configure separate discounts for each service. Each service-based discount represents the percentage discount applicable to the base rate.
