What does Rate per tonne mean in logistics?
Short answer
A freight rate charged on the weight carried, usually per metric tonne for a given lane.
Standard for Indian bulk and heavy cargo such as steel, cement, coal, fertiliser and grain. A minimum guaranteed weight per truck protects the carrier when loads are light. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
