Freight Class Calculator

What is Freight Class?

Freight class is a standardized system used in the shipping industry to categorize different types of freight based on specific characteristics.

Established by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA), this system helps carriers determine pricing, liability, and how freight should be handled during transit.

There are 18 freight classes, ranging from Class 50 (least expensive) to Class 500 (most expensive).

Understanding and correctly identifying your freight class is essential. It affects your shipping costs and can prevent delays, reclassifications, and unexpected charges.

What Determines Freight Class?

📦 Density

🚛 Stowability

The weight-to-volume ratio of the shipment. Higher density generally means a lower freight class and lower shipping costs.

🚛 Stowability

How easily the freight can be loaded and transported with other shipments. Freight that is hazardous, irregularly shaped, or restricted by regulations may have a higher class.

🛠 Handling

⚠️ Liability

If an item requires special handling, such as fragile or hazardous materials, it may be classified at a higher freight class.

⚠️ Liability

The risk of damage, theft, or insurance claims associated with the shipment. High-value or perishable items may fall into a higher class.
