Freight Density Calculator

Freight density is one factor used to calculate freight class (the system created by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) to standardize LTL freight pricing). Freight density is based on the shipment's overall dimensions and weight. Freight density can range from 50 to 1. A shipment with a lower density typically has a higher freight classification. You can use the tool below to determine your freight density and estimate your freight class.


Note: This is an estimate only. If you need help determining the actual freight class for your shipment, use our Find Your Freight Class form or call a PartnerShip freight representative at 800-599.2902 for assistance.
