An all commodity rate (ACR) is a freight rate charged for the transportation of any type of commodity within a specific trade lane. It is a standardized rate that applies uniformly to various goods, regardless of their nature or characteristics. The ACR simplifies pricing and allows for flexibility in shipping different types of cargo without the need for individual rate negotiations. It provides a streamlined approach to freight pricing, promoting efficiency and ease of doing business in the supply chain. The ACR is commonly used in the transportation industry to provide a consistent and transparent pricing structure for shippers and carriers alike.
