Frequently Asked Questions
Freight density is the weight of a shipment relative to its volume, typically expressed in lbs/ft³ or kg/m³. It helps carriers classify freight for pricing.
Density = Weight / (Length × Width × Height). For imperial units, convert cubic inches to cubic feet by dividing by 1728. For metric, convert cm³ to m³ by dividing by 1,000,000.
Carriers use density to determine freight class, which affects shipping rates. Higher density often means lower cost per pound.
