About FreightClass

Freight density, pallet layouts, and parcel weight comparisons with visible formulas and dated sources.

What the tools do

FreightClass helps prepare and check LTL shipment measurements. Packaged dimensions and gross weight produce a density estimate using a dated classification scale.

You can work with several pallet groups, switch between metric and customary input units, and see how close your result is to the next density boundary. No account is required.

Scope

FreightClass is not a carrier, broker, or licensed NMFC item lookup service. We do not claim an affiliation with NMFTA. All source organizations and product names are mentioned only to identify the relevant reference material.

How the content is maintained

Guides use worked examples and source links rather than shipping-price promises. The density scale is dated, and our methodology explains the boundaries and assumptions. We welcome specific, source-supported corrections through the contact page.

Start with your shipment

Use the freight class calculator, check the density chart, or work through how to measure a pallet. Confirm the actual item provisions before shipping.
