What is Proportional Rate?
A proportional rate is a shipping rate that is based on the weight or volume of the shipment. The rate may be calculated using a formula that takes into account the weight or volume of the shipment, as well as the distance and mode of transportation. Proportional rates are commonly used for less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments, where the cost of transportation is shared among multiple shippers.
