The Program


Schedules

7LFreight provides its users with the most up to date schedules of both Airlines as well as Linehaul providers. 7LFreight's database contains over 2 million records of schedules worldwide. This gives you the most accurate information just a click away.

Air Schedules

Through a strategic alliance with Innovata-LLC you are able to see every flight schedule in the world with 7LFreight. The data is updated on a weekly basis which gives you the most accurate scheduling information available on the market. As Airline schedules change on a regular basis having the correct information the first time will allow you move on to the next project instead of wasting precious time looking for accurate information.

The Air Schedules have been implemented within the Complete Air Rates Module as well in a powerful stand-alone module. This allows you to either choose the schedule and then get your rates, or get your rates and then choose the schedule; you make the choice as to which option is easiest for you.

Ground Schedules

Not sure what carriers service any given airport? By utilizing 7LFreight's transit time module you're able to see simultaneously all of the carriers who have direct service to and from the airport codes of your choice.

For those hard to service airport codes 7LFreight has built two tools to help you find other options into that airport code.

Nearby Airports

The first option is to check nearby airport codes. 7LFreight will show on a map the original airport code and the closest airport codes considered. You then still have all the tools for the transit times (best transit time, latest cut and earliest recovery).

Ground Connections

The second option is to check connections; 7LFreight checks the schedules of all our Linehaul Carriers and builds a route utilizing 2 or more Linehaul Carriers to get your freight to its destination.

Ground Rates

Ground Rates are split into 3 main areas: Local Cartage, Linehaul Rates and Complete Rates. Each area is described in greater detail below. Be sure to take a look at the screen shots listed below as well as use the tools to the left to see how each of these areas work.

Local Cartage

Local Cartage rates are the most widely used tool within the system. Whether you use the standalone module, or use it combined with the Complete Ground and Air rates you will have access to over 700+ Cartage Agents rates and service points. The 7LFreight cartage network covers over 90% of all zip codes in the United States, and agents are continually being added to give you even more options.

As with all of 7LFreight's modules, its incredibly simple to use. All you do is type in the zip code that the freight is picking up from, or delivering to and enter the weight and hit 'Rates'. If you want to you can also enter the dimensions of the freight and 7LFreight will calculate the various dim factors. It is recommend that you enter dimensions as some carriers charge a 250 dim factor, some a 194, some charge off actual weight, and other charge off their custom dim factor. 7LFreight uses the right dim factor every time.

ScreenshotsScreenshots

Along with the service points and rates we also load the accessorials of the Cartage Agents. With 7LFreight just select the accessorials you want to apply and then click 'apply' all of the rates will be adjusted to include the accessorial.

You are also able to get real time traffic status in the major metro areas, by using this information you will be able to give your customer an accurate time frame of when they expect to see the cartage agent, or how much time it is going to take you to get to the airport.

Linehaul Rates

Enter your origin and destination and click get rates and 7LFreight will return your contract rates with your Linehaul carriers. It also displays their transit schedules to the right - Giving you all of the relevant information that you need all on one screen!

ScreenshotsScreenshots

Do you always remember which ground carriers charge you off a 194 dim factor vs. a 250 dim factor or if your company has negotiated a 300 dim factor on all outbound freight from DFW? With 7LFreight just enter the pieces and dimensions and it will return the correct chargeable weight for you.

ScreenshotsScreenshots

7LFreight always checks nearby airport codes to see if there is possibly a cheaper option. Please observe in the first example (Screenshot1) , 7LFreight found a ground option that is nearly $60 cheaper! On the second example (Screenshot2) 7LFreight found a ground option that is $84.55 cheaper. Our intuitive program shows you options that might have otherwise been overlooked.

Complete Rates

While combining the Linehaul rates and Cartage Agent rates this package calculates your pick up, Linehaul and delivery costs and returns various GP margins under the 7L Quote Tool. These quotes are fast and accurate, providing you with your best tariff rates. You are able to get Door to Airport, Airport to Door, and Door to Door rates within this area.

Air Rates

Within the 7LFreight system, Air Freight Rates are split into 3 main sections. Airport to Airport, Door to Door and International Air. The rates are calculated using the carriers specific rules, for example calculating tax of the freight and fuel or fuel off actual weight while the freight is charged on dimensional weight. 7LFreight Air Rates support every airline.

Airport to Airport Rates

From counter service to guaranteed, ULD or SCR rates, every rate is calculated and displayed between the two airport code parings of your choice. 7LFreight will also look at alternate airport codes within a 75 mile radius as potential alternate drop points. This comes in handy when you are having difficulty finding a routing between the two primary airport codes.

With over 100 loading charts built into the system, when you enter dimensions of the freight you will be able to view which aircraft that freight can fit on. This will help you drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to route air freight, you will no longer have to search your loading charts.

Screenshots Screenshots

7LFreight will also take into account any potential oversize fees that could be applied. If your freight triggers the carriers oversize rules the rate will be automatically calculated into the subtotal. This will eliminate the potential costly issue of the operator not properly applying an oversize fee.

Another feature that is contained within the Air Freight Rates is the 7L Analyzer. When Friday to Monday, Next Day, or 2nd day Linehaul service is found, a tip will be displayed. This will help you avoid flying the freight when there is a reliable surface option available.

ScreenshotsScreenshots

Door to Door Rates

While combining the Airline rates and Cartage Agent rates this package will calculate the pick up, Airline and delivery costs and returns various GP margins under the 7L Quote Tool. These quotes are fast and accurate, providing you with your best tariff rates.

Currently, the International Air Module is Door to Airport, or Airport to Door, where the door portion is the domestic inland trucking.

If the local market is an international gateway this module will calculate the pick up and international air freight cost.
