Corridor benchmark bands for a 40-ft equivalent, with our margin shown as a separate line rather than folded into the price. Margin falls as your plan tier rises.
How your price is calculated
We buy at the operator's net rate and resell with a stated margin. On Starter that margin is 20%, clamped to a floor of $75 and a ceiling of $1,200 — absolute amounts, because a percentage does not cover the work on a short haul and loses the deal on a block train. A $1,000 net rate becomes $1,250. Higher tiers carry a lower margin, so upgrading earns a genuinely better effective rate.
The margin changes the price, never the ranking. The cheapest service is still shown as the cheapest service. See the full plan ladder.
Where a price is a firm supplier quote we show your rate only — the underlying operator rate is commercially confidential. Where it is our own corridor benchmark, we show that too, which is why most rows below break it out.
