Question: Weight Range ( pounds ) Rate per CWT ( hundred pounds ) You have 5 LTL shipments, shipping from the following locations with the following

Weight Range (pounds) Rate per CWT (hundred pounds)
You have 5 LTL shipments, shipping from the following locations with the following
weights all shipping to 800 Algoma Blvd, Oshkosh, WI 54901. All shipments meet the
minimum so that is not an issue. The negotiated LTL discount =75%, fuel surcharge =
30.2%, LTL Single Shipment Charge = $35.00(applies to weights less than 500 pounds
only). Nominal (base) LTL freight rates use the CWT rates on the previous page.
Truckload freight rate = $1.37/mile and the fuel surcharge = $0.71/mile from Boston
(only Boston rate), MA. Given: $100 for 1st stop, $125 for 2nd stop, $200 per each
additional stop. We will assume that cube is not an issue and that the TL weight limit is
46,100 pounds of freight. (hint they are in the correct order of pickup)
1.2900 pounds shipping from 2 Neptune Rd, East Boston, MA 02128
2.4200 pounds 1301 N Meridian Rd, Youngstown, OH 44509
3.3200 pounds 1035 Woodland Ave, Columbus, OH 43219
4.5200 pounds 1101 Harding Ct, Indianapolis, IN 46217
5.2000 pounds 4924 S Austin Ave, Chicago, IL 60638
What is the cost savings if we consolidate all 5 shipments in one truckload? (hint:
compare cheapest cost for all individual shipments to one milk run, for full credit show
all your work, use google maps for distance)
