Fuel, Zones, and Tariffs
Overview
These three topics are linked throughout your Rose Rocket process. Fuel information, zones, and tariffs are central elements for shipping and receiving goods. Use the information throughout these objects to further track and share data about your logistics.
- Fuel information - View pricing for fuel and set price range behavior
- Fuel index tables
- Fuel tables
- Fuel table breakpoints
- Zones - Establish pricing based on specific locations
- Tariffs - Overview of logistics in process of rating and quoting
- Tariff lanes
- Tariff dimensions
- Tariff conversions
These modules work together for a comprehensive overview of the costs and revenue associated with transporting goods from one location to another. Altogether, these functions provide an effective strategy for entering costs and revenue on loads. They are connected to objects on a customer and partner level then evaluate the parameters of any respective orders, quotes, and manifests.
API configuration
When using the API to make requests, see the pages below for the process. These guides walk through the requirements and setup to access the Rose Rocket API with your application.

Fuel index group
This object is the historical record of the price of fuel as set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Information about the fuel prices cannot be changed and are based in five regions.
NOTE: Canadian customers are bound to regulatory pricing based in the United States of America.

Fuel Table Breakpoint
This object is for establishing pricing ranges on the fuel index. Use the price to and price from fields to set specific rates. Each range of pricing must be exclusive of one another.
NOTE: The values for
priceFrom
andpriceTo

Zone
Zones are for establishing location pricing based on the travel. Set up various locations with the help of the Google API and addresses. Zones are a collection of these addresses for pricing reference.
The Rose Rocket API uses the Google Maps API information to collect addresses. Postal codes and zip codes are also supported.

Tariff
Tariffs contain all of the information from the other objects. This object functions to set up pricing for each lane. Lanes are logistics configurations for origin, destination, cost, transit, and rates.
When rating an order or inputting information, tariffs can be set as a different time. This provides flexibility for preparing tariffs in advance with specific pricing to use.

Tariff Dimension
The tariff dimension object confirms specific dimensions for logistics reference. These units are supported in Rose Rocket. Use the same dimensions as the related order. Each range for the dimension must be exclusive of one another.
NOTE: The values for ranges must not overlap. Any overlapping values cause errors with the request. For example, ranges for 1-1000 cannot have another pricing at 1000-2000. The other range must be 1001 or greater and cannot fall within the range of values.
