Manage freight rates and logistics costs in one place
Freight is one of the largest variable costs in a scrap operation. ReSpark centralizes freight rate management so every rate is stored, every carrier is tracked, and every logistics cost flows into your financial reporting automatically.

What ReSpark changes about freight rates
The old way creates work. ReSpark replaces it.
Every rate stored. Every cost visible.
Lanes by carrier, origin, destination, and movement type — with cost, chargeback, and fuel surcharge rates per lane.
- Configure lanes by carrier, origin, destination, and movement type.
- Associated cost, chargeback, and fuel surcharge rates per lane.
Transport rate rules tied to lanes eliminate manual entry; freight payables accrue when dispatch tickets are created.
- Transport rate rules tied to freight lanes eliminate manual entry on tickets.
- Freight payables accrue when dispatch tickets are created.
Freight costs and chargebacks broken out at the customer-location level, with carrier-specific rates per customer.
- Separate freight costs and chargebacks at the customer location level.
- Carrier-specific rates by customer for precise cost allocation.
Match freight invoices against shipment data, with carrier-assignment exception reporting for reconciliation gaps.
- Match freight invoices against shipment data.
- Carrier assignment exception reporting for reconciliation gaps.
Cost per ton, per lane, per carrier — plus freight cost vs. chargeback analysis for cost-recovery decisions.
- Cost per ton, per lane, per carrier for data-driven decisions.
- Freight cost vs. chargeback analysis identifies cost recovery opportunities.
Multi-material tickets split freight proportionally by weight ratio for accurate per-material margin analysis.
- Freight on multi-material tickets split proportionally by weight ratio.
- Accurate per-material costing for margin analysis.
Frequently asked questions.
Can I compare freight costs across shipping modes?
Yes. ReSpark stores rates across all modes and calculates cost-per-ton so you can compare options for a given lane and make routing decisions based on real cost data.
Do freight costs flow into financial reporting automatically?
Yes. Freight rates in ReSpark connect to financial reporting so delivered cost and margin calculations always reflect actual logistics costs without manual reconciliation.
Can I track rate history by carrier?
Yes. Rate history is preserved for every carrier and lane so you can see how costs have changed over time and reference previous agreements when renegotiating.
How are freight rates set up?
By lane — carrier, origin, destination, and movement type — each carrying its own cost, chargeback, and fuel surcharge rates.
How is freight split on a multi-material load?
Proportionally by weight ratio, so each material carries its true share of the freight and per-material margin analysis stays accurate.
