2. Step 6. Check list for rate components.
a. Loading/ Unloading scope
b. Transit Insurance
c. Transshipments/ co loading allowed or not.
d. Road tax/ check post expenses (with receipts only be reimbursed at actual)
Step7. Rate for TRAILERS (standard 45 ft length 3 axel)
a. Low bed Trailer: Rs. 171 per KM (if distance is more than 600 KM )
b. Semi Low Bed Trailer: Rs. 103 Per KM (if distance is more than 600 KM)
Case Study Scenario (all data are appx)
transport weight & dimensions:-
Machine 1: LT105 < <<< Weight 50 MT<<<<< LBH 15.3X2.8X3.4 Mtr
Machine2: LT1100 <<<< Weight 33 MT <<<< LBH 15.1X2.8X3.4 Mtr
Consignor : Metso, Bawal, HR
Consignee : Thriveni, Keonjhar, OR
Distance : 1485 (as per google map)
So, now our budgeted price should be:-
Machine 1: LT105 (for Low bed Trailer)
= Distance X Rate
 1485 X 171 = INR 253935 (excluding service tax)
Machine2: LT1100 (for semi low bed trailer)
=Distance X Rate
 1485X103 = INR 152955 (excluding service tax)
# Note: Transit insurance in buyer/ seller’s scope
# Delay/ Retention charges extra @ 3000/- & 2000/- per day for low bed & semi low bed
respectively. (after 1+1 day for loading & unloading)
# Expenses made at check posts or entry tax in transit to be paid at actual on submission of doc.
