Freight Cost CalculatorEstimate an LTL freight bill: work out density and freight class from the pallet size and weight, then apply your own rate per hundredweight, fuel surcharge and fees.Fuel Surcharge CalculatorA trucking fuel surcharge per mile and per load from the diesel price, your base peg and mpg.Pallet CalculatorBoxes per pallet: boxes per layer (TI), layers (HI), total boxes and loaded weight against your limit.Trucking Cost Per Mile CalculatorWhat each mile costs your truck, fixed plus running costs, and the rate per mile you need to hit a profit target.
Shipping and freight formulas
| What it measures | Formula | Calculator |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensional weight | Length × width × height (inches) ÷ carrier divisor | Dimensional Weight → |
| Billable weight | The greater of actual weight and dimensional weight, rounded up to the next whole pound | Dimensional Weight → |
| Freight density | Total weight (lb) ÷ (L × W × H in inches × units ÷ 1,728); the NMFC density scale turns it into a class | Freight Class → |
| Fuel surcharge per mile | (Current diesel price − base peg) ÷ truck mpg; none when diesel is at or below the peg | Fuel Surcharge → |
| Trucking cost per mile | Monthly fixed costs ÷ monthly miles + variable cost per mile; rate needed = cost per mile + target profit per mile | Trucking Cost Per Mile → |
| Boxes per pallet | Boxes per layer (TI) × layers (HI), where HI = max load height ÷ box height, capped by the weight limit | Pallet → |
