This page shows all the details of the order you just filled out on the last page, with the addition of the charges.

Please note this rate is subject to change and will not be final until invoiced.

The Base Amount is your freight charges based on weight and area of Service.

The Waiting Time, Second Delivery and Extra Surcharges are all extra charges that will be applied before invoicing. These charges will only be applied if applicable.

The Insurance Surcharge will rate at this time if you had selected Extra Insurance and entered your Declared Value in the previous page. If you did both of these and the charge here is $0.00 then the weight of your freight already covers your declared value.

Fuel Surcharge is the based on the Base Amount and our current fuel surcharge (which is re-evaluated weekly and posted at www.arguscarriers.com).

If you do not get a rate ensure you have selected the correct service, your weight is entered, and that your postal codes are correct. Click Back to make any corrections to the order details.

If you are satisfied with the details you have entered and the charges, click Complete & Schedule to complete the order. This will bring you to the Waybill page where you can print your waybill.

This page is your printable waybill. You can print as many waybills as you like. Until the waybill has been invoiced you can always come back and reprint the waybill from Order Tracking.

You most print one waybill for the driver at the time of pickup.

Tip: You could always print a secondary copy(s) to use as a label.

If this page is printing on two pages visit Waybill Page Setup to fix this.

This page is used to create a Shipping Manifest that can be used to transfer liability. When a driver picks up a shipment you need a copy of his signature confirming that he picked the freight up and in good condition. The waybill that you printed for each shipment will leave with our driver, so you will not get a copy of their signature on the waybill for your records. That is why we have a shipping manifest that you can print for our driver to sign and leave for your records.

To print a manifest select the Pick Up Date and Ready Time, that is a later time than your latest ready time shipment. Then click Show Manifest. The manifest will have all shipments that were ready before the selected date and time.

If an order doesn't show on the manifest the Ready Time's are most likely set as a later time or the shipment was already picked up. You can always go back to correct that order's Ready Time and re-run the manifest.
