Challenge 2. Transportation Pricing

Explain how pricing for transportation services is developed by carriers in the five modes of transportation. Be specific to include what factors go into the creation of transportation rates and include at least one example of a pricing calculations (these are to be original examples, created entirely by yourself).

Complete responses here will discuss the factors that a transportation provider needs to consider and then descriptions of the standard forms of pricing that how pricing is created in each mode including different volume of cargo presented to a carrier (if applicable). The only sources to be used for this discussion are those found in your textbook, the course site, the course modules, and course discussion boards.
