 +BLT. haulers try to finish contracts within ~8 hours of accepting; packages to and from Jita may take a little longer. This isn't always possible, however, depending on circumstances. If a contract is taking longer than expected, try reaching out first.

 +<alert type="warning">Due to issues with our route to Jita, packages going TO Jita from K7D are currently limited to under 180,000m3 and 5 billion isk. The route FROM Jita to K7D is unchanged. Higher collateral can still be placed in packages under 13,000m3 (just reverse the route, //only// for small packages).</alert>

-**DO NOT INCLUDE ASSEMBLED CONTAINERS OR SHIPS IN YOUR CONTRACTS**.  Thanks to CCP, doing so requires our haulers to fly their contracting character to both endpoints to manually trade the courier contract to their hauler, something that at the very least takes a lot of time, and in some cases may be impossible.+</panel></col>

-Because this is such a painand because people do it way more often than they should given the big red letters on the [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]], and because we frequently end up having to spend time arguing with people about this, we are now charging a 50,000,000 ISK penalty for wasting everyones time.  The BRAVE Freight contractor will fail the contract, which will deposit the collateral into your account.  They will then item exchange contract the courier contract contents back to you for the collateral + 50m ISK. You MUST accept this contract if you'd like to continue using the BRAVE Freight service.   +=== Contact === 
 +For general questionsask in #hauling on Slack.
  
-Once you've accepted the item exchange contract, you can re-create your courier contract WITHOUT the assembled containers or ships.+For questions or concerns about a specific contract, contact Arian Felou on Slack (unless you know the Slack info for the person who accepted your contract).
  
-=== Collateralizing Contracts ===+=== Formula ===
  
-Correctly collateralizing your contracts protects the contents from being stolen and lets the hauler know how much risk they are taking on in accepting the contract.  If a contract is not delivered, you will receive the collateral as compensation for your items.+The below formula reflects how the hauling fee can be calculated in Google Sheets or Excel:
  
-Collateral MUST be set to at least the Jita Sell [[http://evepraisal.com|Evepraisal]] value of the contentsand it's suggested that you add 5-10% on top of that value to account for changes in value  +''Reward = RATE * Volume + min(Collateral * 0.00753000000000 * 0.0075) + (ceiling(Collateral/3000000000)-1) * if(Volume > 130005000000010000000)''
-You MUST include an [[http://evepraisal.com|Evepraisal]] link for the items in your courier contract description.  For items that aren't correctly valued by [[http://evepraisal.com|Evepraisal]]such as extremely rare items or researched BPO/BPCyou should do research in public contracts to try to correctly value them. +
-</well>+
  
-</col> +In this formula, RATE is the rate for the route, which depends on distanceThe volume cost is added to the collateral cost up to 3 billion isk.
-<col md="6"> +
-==== Fees ==== +
-Use the [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]] to calculate the correct reward. +
-<well> +
-=== Formula === +
-BRAVE Freight uses the below formula to calculate the hauling fee.  This formula attempts to capture the haulers costs/risk and reward them appropriately while remaining affordable for the average line member and providing a timely service.  If you are a regular high collateral importer, you should consider getting your own jump freighter and [[https://joinus.bravecollective.com/brave_freight|joining us]].+
  
-(Light Years for route shown in [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]] * 11,000,000) + (5,000,000 ISK per jump) + (15,000,000 for each non-hub endpoint)+=== Collateral ===
  
-Two modifiers are then calculated, Volume and Collateraland the above fee is multiplied by whichever modifier is higher+Make sure that your collateral accurately reflects the value of your cargo. In addition to protecting you from losses and theftthis helps JF pilots estimate how much risk they are taking. BPC value needs to be found separately, //if// the BPCs have value.
  
-=== Volume Modifier ===+Collateral over 3 billion isk is charged as either 10 million or 50 million isk for each additional 3 billion after the first - e.g. 1x for 3-6b, 2x for 6-9b, etc. Package volumes that are small enough to fit into a Blockade Runner use the lower fee of 10 million per additional 3b. This is to compensate Jump Freighter pilots for the extra risk of hauling large, high-value cargo, and to encourage putting your most expensive belongings into smaller packages that allow more flexibility in hauling.
  
-If both endpoints of the contract are hub systems, the volume modifier is calculated by dividing the contract volume by the Maximum Volume for a contract (320,000 m3).  For non-hub endpoints, the modifier is 1.  This potentially reduces the cost for shipping partial jump freighter loads between hub systems.+</col><col md="1"></col><col md="5">
  
-=== Collateral Modifier ===+==== Service Area ====
  
-The collateral modifier is calculated by dividing the contract collateral by the Recommended Maximum Collateral for a contract (6,000,000,000 ISK).  This potentially reduces the cost for shipping partial jump freighter loads between hub systems If the contract collateral is higher than the Recommended Maximum Collateral, it increase the fee linearly to account for the additional collateral risk to the hauler.+The [[http://freight.bravecollective.com/|BRAVE Freight Calculator]] lists the available systems as defined below (so far!). Any Brave or Imperium citadel in a system is valid<fc #ffff00>No neutral citadels</fc> except for the PushX mailbox in Keberz.

-Our Maximum Volume is chosen based on the lowest common denominator of available volume in the jump freighters our pilots fly.  This ensures any of our pilots can haul any contract.  **DO NOT GO ABOVE THE MAX VOLUME UNLESS YOU'VE SPOKEN WITH THE HAULER THAT WILL BE HAULING YOUR CONTRACT PRIOR TO CREATING IT**.+<fc #87ceeb>P-ZMZV - Dracarys Prime</fc> - Dracarys-owned Keepstar
  
-Our Recommended Max Collateral is not a hard limit!  BRAVE Freight haulers are expected to keep the Recommended Max Collateral ISK liquid, ensuring any of our pilots can haul any contract.  You can put higher collateral on the contract, but it will cost you more, as per the above formula, and fewer pilots will be able to haul it, so it may take longer.+=== Delve ===
