C'est comme ça que je le comprends
AllegroTrans Sep 17, 2020:
It simply means... what you pay for shipping your goods - text is presumably from a country using Dollars as currency but it could just as well be Euros, UK Pounds or Russian Roubles
Daryo Sep 17, 2020:
Transportation Dollar$ as in https://www.itf-oecd.org/sites/default/files/docs/dp201308f....

has NOTHING to do with this text - except using the same words.
Francois Boye Sep 17, 2020:
Transportation Dollar$ calculates approximately how much you contribute in taxes and fees to support the transportation system you use.

Meilleur rapport qualité-prix Bonjour, ne s'agit-il pas plutôt d'une allusion au rapport qualité-prix avantageux des services proposés par l'entreprise? De la même manière, on pourrait dire "... value for your investment/real estate/gambling/etc. dollar"

Not really about dollars per se
It's what the customer pays for shipping

It's just marketing talk, "transportation dollars" isn't a term in its own right
Note from asker:
Merci Beaucoup!

disagree Daryo : un contrat entre une société de transport et un agent de cette même société => where is the taxman in there?

My translation is based on the definition of 'transportation dollar', which could be part of a contract.//you did not read the said contract, did you?
disagree AllegroTrans : This is simply about the cost to the customer-not about taxes at all, and "dollars" is only being used figuratively here because it's the currency of the country which this text is from
