Calculating Time Basis of Rates

It is the general practice in the industry to base rates upon one shift of 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week, or 176 hours per month of a 30-day consecutive period.

Freight Charges

The freight rates in the schedule are typically Free on Board from the lessor’s warehouse or shipping point.

Rental Period

On local rentals the equipment rental period most often starts when equipment leaves the lessor’s warehouse and stops when it is returned to the warehouse.
