Freight Class Calculator

A Freight Class calculator is an online or software-based tool used to determine the freight class of a shipment. Freight class is a number assigned to goods based on how easy or difficult they are to ship. This system is mainly used in LTL shipping, where multiple shipments from different shippers share the same truck. The Freight Class calculator takes key details such as shipment weight, length, width, height, and sometimes the type of product. Using this data, it calculates the density of the shipment. Density plays a very important role because it shows how much space your shipment takes compared to its weight. Higher density usually means a lower freight class and lower shipping cost.
