1. It searches through the primary (line haul) rates you have recorded in the Rate Schedules application. It checks the trip and the profile of the resource against the conditions you have specified for each rate.

2. It determines the applicable primary pay rate for the trip when it finds a rate that matches the trip and resource.

3. If secondary (accessorial) rates have been linked to the primary rate, the system compares each linked secondary rate to the trip and resource. If the trip and resource match the criteria established for the secondary rate, the pay for that rate is applied.

4. There may be times when a particular accessorial (non-line haul) pay detail must be added because an unforeseen situation warrants it. For example, detention time often cannot be predicted; therefore, detention pay is applied on an “as needed” basis. You can manually add such situational pay to a trip manually in TMW Operations or TMW Back Office. If an accessorial line item is added manually and left with a zero dollar amount ($.00), the system will look up the applicable line item rate and replace the zero dollar figure with the appropriate pay amount.
