Freight Rate Estimator

Enter a lane, weight, and either your freight class or pallet dimensions to see a rough, illustrative cost estimate — and exactly how each factor from the book (density, class, weight breaks, distance, accessorials) shapes the number.

Illustrative estimate only — not a live carrier quote. This tool uses simplified, directional rating logic modeled on the concepts in Chapters 3–7 (density, classification, weight breaks, distance, accessorials) to teach how LTL pricing works. It is not connected to any carrier or live rate feed, and real pricing depends on your specific carrier agreements, current tariffs, fuel surcharges, and actual capacity. Always confirm against a real quote before making a shipping decision.
