Use your agreed rates on every daily ticket.

Tractor and lowboy rates FAQ
What is a typical tractor and lowboy charge-out rate?
Tractor and lowboy charge-out includes the driver. Equipment moves, not dirt haul. Permits, escorts, and overtime on a night move are usually extra lines. Open a region page for the local number, or a region plus tractor and lowboy page for a single market.
What does the tractor and lowboy line include?
This book treats the primary tractor and lowboy line as operated equipment. Operator, fuel, attachments, and mobilization are only included when the row says so. Do not assume a rental-yard weekend price is the same number.
Can I bill the central tractor and lowboy reference?
Not from this page alone. The central value is a public check, not a measured market median. SubTrack rate sheets are where your class, standby, and OT actually live.
