A Freight Class Calculator is an online or manual tool that helps you find the correct freight class for your shipment. Freight class is a number used in LTL shipping to decide shipping cost. These classes range from 50 to 500. Lower classes cost less, while higher classes cost more. The calculator uses basic shipment details like weight, length, width, height, and sometimes the type of product. From this information, it calculates density. Density is one of the most important factors in freight class. Higher density items usually fall into lower freight classes and cost less to ship.
