How to read Operating Ratio
Operating Ratio (OR) tells you whether a lane is profitable at the current rate.- OR < 1.0 — the lane is profitable at the current rate
- OR > 1.0 — the lane is operating at a loss at the current rate
Historical data shows trends over time. Use it to spot lanes with rising volumes or changing rate patterns — both signals that a lane may warrant closer attention during pricing review.
