estimate_barge_rate
shallowcom.freightfa.mcp/freightfa · Verify this server
Estimate an inland waterway barge freight rate for a bulk commodity, origin, destination, distance, and weight, from USDA's weekly downbound grain barge rates. Only priced when both ends are Mississippi/Illinois/Ohio River ports, the lane runs downriver, and the shipment is at least one barge-load (~1,500 short tons, 3,000,000 lb); otherwise returns available: false with the reason. Priced on river miles. Returns a directional benchmark for planning. Each call counts as one estimate toward the account's monthly FreightFA allowance.
