How to Calculate Freight Density

Freight density is one of the primary factors used by Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) carriers to determine shipping rates. To calculate density manually, follow these steps:

  1. Measure the Length, Width, and Height of your shipment in inches (include pallets or packaging).
  2. Multiply Length × Width × Height to get the total cubic inches.
  3. Divide the total cubic inches by 1,728 to convert it to cubic feet.
  4. Divide the weight of the shipment by the total cubic feet.

The resulting number is your Pounds per Cubic Foot (PCF), which correlates to your NMFC freight class.

Density-Based Freight Class Table

Density (lbs per cubic foot) Freight Class
Over 50 Class 50
30 to 50 Class 55
22.5 to 30 Class 65
15 to 22.5 Class 70
10.5 to 12 Class 92.5
8 to 9 Class 110
Less than 1 Class 500

Real-World Example

Imagine you are shipping a standard pallet that weighs 450 lbs. The dimensions are 48″L x 40″W x 48″H.

  • Volume: 48 × 40 × 48 = 92,160 cubic inches.
  • Cubic Feet: 92,160 ÷ 1,728 = 53.33 cubic feet.
  • Density: 450 ÷ 53.33 = 8.44 lbs per cubic foot.
  • Estimated Class: Based on the density of 8.44, this would fall into Class 110.
