Worked out from UPS Rate and Service Guide, dimensional weight calculation and 10 other sources.
The zone is derived from the published distance bands in DMM 608.9.4.2. USPS prices from its own Official National Zone Chart, which is a purchasable dataset (DMM 608.9.3); check a borderline lane against the zone chart for your origin ZIP Code.
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

5 steps
  1. 725 miles between the ZIP Code centroids falls in USPS zone 5 (DMM 608.9.4.2).
  2. Dimensional weight = 2160 / 139 = 15.54, rounded up to 16 lb.
  3. Billable weight is the greater of the billed scale weight (8) and dimensional (16): 16 lb.
  4. Length plus girth = 18 + 2 x (12 + 10) = 62.
  5. Density 6.4 lb per cubic foot puts this in NMFC class 150.
