The Best Buy feature evaluates fuel purchase options based on factors such as existing fuel contract daily allowances, fuel cost, freight rates, distance, and available volume at the terminal.

The Best Buy engine runs automatically at a frequency designated in Best Buy Configuration and can be viewed or manually managed in the Dispatch Schedule Builder (DSB). 

BB Tag

When Best Buy is run for a load in the DSB Workbench, the load will include a color-coded “BB” tag. You may hover over the tag for details.
