If you need to add a Custom Rates table, you can do it on the Carrier level.
NOTE: To enable the Custom Rates menu you will have to reach techShip support with the request prior to setup.
WARNING: When defining weight ranges, do NOT define gaps. Make sure you cover a FULL RANGE. An example, a gap would be having 8 to 9, and 9.01 to 10, where the gap is between 9 and 9.01. In that case, define 8 to 9, and 9 to 10. If you have gaps in your setup, this will cause issues.
NOTE: Make sure to review the FAQ at the end of the article to know how to use some of the fields or how these work.

These are frequently asked questions regarding markups, wildcards and ZIP usage:
Are markups applied to custom rates?
Yes, custom rates will indeed incorporate mark-ups as long as they are specified within the utilized billing account, as detailed in How does the Markup feature work and how is it applied? [Guide]
2. Can the ZIP Codes be populated as three-digit ones with a wildcard (750*)?
Yes, entering zip codes in the format of three digits followed by a wildcard (e.g., 750*) works properly
3. Can I leave City and State blank if I just want to lookup by three-digit ZIP Code (750*)?
Yes, you can leave the City and State fields blank if your objective is to perform a lookup solely based on a three-digit ZIP Code (e.g., 750*)
