Carrier note
Use this term in context with the rate confirmation, broker communication, facility instructions, and billing paperwork. A short definition is useful, but the written load terms control the actual freight decision.
Carrier example
A broker offers $2,100 all-in for a 680-mile load. That $2,100 is the gross revenue — the full broker payment before the carrier subtracts fuel, tolls, lumper advances, factoring fees, and other trip costs.
Common mistake
Comparing loads by gross revenue without subtracting trip-specific costs — a higher gross can still produce less net return after fuel, deadhead, and out-of-pocket expenses are deducted.
Paperwork note
Gross revenue appears on the rate confirmation as the line-haul and included charges. Keep this figure alongside trip cost notes for each load comparison.
