Freight & dimensions

Freight Class Calculator

Enter your pallet dimensions and weight to estimate the freight class.

How freight class works

LTL carriers use the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) density rule to assign a class from 50 (cheapest, dense) to 400 (most expensive, light and bulky). Density is your shipment's weight divided by its cubic volume: lower density means a higher class and a higher rate. Most palletized DTC freight lands between class 70 and 175.
