Equipment Rates

The dates displayed in the Rate Start Date and Rate End Date text boxes will default to the start and end dates of the agreement selected. The equipment rate’s start and end dates must fall within the selected agreement’s start and end dates. The equipment type can only be assigned to one of the rate options. However, the idle rate may be used with any rate option. The equipment rate structure consists of several options. Refer to Understand Equipment Rate Options for more information.
