- TONU
- TONU stands for truck ordered not used: a fee paid when a carrier is dispatched to a load that is then cancelled.
The driver has already burned hours and fuel getting to the pickup, so a cancellation is a real cost even though nothing moved.
TONU amounts are negotiated per load and are not automatic; they depend on what was agreed with the broker.
A TONU load still needs a record, because it affects driver pay and utilisation even though it produced no freight revenue.
A TONU is agreed rather than automatic. The amount is whatever the broker will pay for the truck having been committed, and it is normally settled at the moment the load falls through.
Recording when the truck was dispatched, and where it was when the cancellation came, is what makes the claim straightforward.
