Freight & LTL Calculators
LTL and groupage planning depends on density, occupied cube and floor space. These calculators turn shipment dimensions into the measurements used to sense-check classifications and space-based quotes.
4 calculators available
Freight Class
Estimate density-based NMFC freight class using the current 13-sub density structure and your handling-unit dimensions and weight.
LTL Density
Calculate LTL shipment density in lb/ft³ and kg/m³, total cube and a density-based freight-class estimate.
Loading Meter
Calculate loading meters (LDM) from cargo footprint, quantity, trailer width and stacking factor for European road-freight planning.
Cubic Feet
Calculate cubic feet, cubic meters, shipment cube, density and optional freight-class estimate from dimensions, quantity and weight.

How to Calculate Freight Class from Density
A practical guide to LTL density, the current NMFC density scale and why actual freight class can differ from a density estimate.

Current NMFTA 13-sub density bands from freight class 400 through class 50 for quick LTL planning reference.
Why these tools are grouped together
Calculate freight class, LTL density, loading meters and shipment cube for road and less-than-truckload freight. FreightToolset links adjacent decisions so you can move from cube to density, density to class, or carton dimensions to pallet and container planning without jumping across unrelated sites.
