Context: a consultation needs to be reproducible
ANTT maintains a page dedicated to the minimum floor policy, with access to the calculator, guidelines, and legislation. Before discussing the result, organize the information used in the consultation. If two people use different assumptions, comparing only the final number may hide the source of the divergence.
The TRRC does not publish its own tariff table here nor decide the classification of an operation. The selection of parameters should follow the instructions of the official service, with technical clarification when there is doubt. The contribution of this guide is to make the consultation traceable among those who hire, those who execute, and those who verify.
In practice: create a consultation record
Record the date, the address of the consulted service, and the fields actually filled out. Attach the identification of the operation, the route considered, and the characteristics of the vehicle and cargo that justified the selection of parameters. Preserve the result along with these assumptions; a capture with only the total is insufficient to explain how it was obtained.
When there is a change in the operation, conduct a new analysis with the responsible party and keep the two versions separately. Do not silently overwrite the previous record. A folder per operation, with file names indicating the date, already allows basic organization without hiring another system.
TRRC Analysis: three numbers with different functions
The reference obtained from the official service, the internal cost estimate, and the price presented in a proposal do not represent the same thing. The first depends on the consultation and applicable classification; the second depends on the company's assumptions; the third needs to be read with the proposed commercial scope. This guide does not state that one replaces or validates the others.
Hypothetical example: two quotes use different routes. Before concluding that one company is more efficient, compare the routes and included services. To investigate only the fuel portion, use the diesel guide. The fuel simulator does not calculate the minimum floor.
Why the subject deserves monitoring
In a statement from 16/09/2026, ANTT reported the start of procedures related to the repeated non-compliance with the policy. The news describes an administrative action, not the individual situation of any transporter. Application to a case depends on the corresponding official acts. Avoid using a news summary as an opinion on a provider.
Impact for transporter, shipper, and autonomous
The transporter can explain which assumptions were used. The shipper can compare proposals with equivalent scope. The autonomous can keep a record of the consultation and bring specific questions to the competent channel. In all cases, record the question that remained unanswered before concluding the hiring.
