Your carrier rate for this lane. Required unless a rate provider is configured.
Carriers publish this weekly; enter the current figure for your lane.
Road or great-circle miles between origin and destination. For a USPS zone this is the distance between the origin and destination ZIP Code centroids.
The tariff rate per 100 lb for this freight class and lane, from your carrier or broker.
LTL tariffs are usually quoted as a base rate less a negotiated discount.
The absolute minimum charge in your tariff. Air waybills call this rate class M.
LTL tariffs step down at 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 lb and so on. Enter the next break to test whether shipping "as if" heavier is cheaper.
Vehicle transport is quoted per mile; carriers quote a lower rate per mile on longer routes.

Worked out from UPS Rate and Service Guide, dimensional weight calculation and 10 other sources.
No rate was supplied and no rate provider is configured, so only the weights and freight class are calculated. Carrier retail rates are proprietary and change frequently: enter your own rate for this lane, or connect a rate provider.

How this is worked out

4 steps
  1. Dimensional weight = 2160 / 139 = 15.54, rounded up to 16 lb.
  2. Billable weight is the greater of the billed scale weight (8) and dimensional (16): 16 lb.
  3. Length plus girth = 18 + 2 x (12 + 10) = 62.
  4. Density 6.4 lb per cubic foot puts this in NMFC class 150.
