Shipping & Logistics

Shipping and logistics calculators help shippers and carriers estimate how freight is priced. The freight class calculator estimates an LTL class from shipment density, the dimensional weight calculator shows when a parcel will be billed by its size instead of its actual weight, and the trucking cost per mile calculator spreads fixed and variable costs over the miles driven.

Use them together to quote a load, compare carriers or check an invoice. A light but bulky box can cost more than a small heavy one once dimensional weight applies, and a carrier's rate per mile needs to cover fuel, maintenance, insurance and pay.

The results are estimates. Carriers set their own divisors, class rules and surcharges, so confirm with your carrier's current tariff. For a step-by-step method, read how to calculate trucking cost per mile.
