Where can you configure the fuel surcharge in AscendTMS?

• A. In the shipment notes.
• B. In the customer contact profile.
• C. In the system-wide tax module.
• D. In rate cards or via a fuel index for variable surcharges.

Answer: (D)

Fuel surcharges are configured in pricing, specifically in rate cards or through a fuel index. Rate cards define pricing for lanes or services and can include a fuel surcharge, either as a fixed amount or tied to a fuel index. The fuel index keeps the surcharge in step with fuel price changes, so quotes and bookings automatically reflect current costs. The other places mentioned aren’t for pricing: shipment notes are for documentation, the customer contact profile stores contact details, and the system-wide tax module handles taxes, not fuel-based pricing.
