Learn About Freight Class & Density | GoFreightCalc

Instantly calculate shipment density (PCF), total cubic feet (CFT), and find the correct NMFC freight class automatically.

About Us

Making freight class and density easier to understand.

We built this tool for shippers, operations teams, and growing businesses. It gives you clear answers before your shipment leaves the dock. We believe practical shipping tools should be easy to use. Our calculator turns dimensions, weight, and cubic feet into simple guidance you can trust.

Our Story

Built from everyday shipping questions.

We started with a common problem. Freight class can be highly confusing. This is especially true when you have to balance shipment density, cubic feet, pallet dimensions, and NMFC rules all at once. Instead of leaving teams to jump between complicated spreadsheets and notes, we built one clear workflow.

Our goal has stayed simple: help every shipper understand the “why” behind the number, not just the final class estimate.

To become a trusted everyday resource for shippers who want practical freight knowledge, fewer surprises, and a clearer path from quote to delivery.

What We Value

Practical principles behind every update.

These core values keep the tool focused on what matters most: clear inputs and useful outputs. We care deeply about dependable formulas that make density easier to verify. Furthermore, freight terms should not feel hidden behind jargon.Our tool aligns calculations with recognized industry standards such as the National Motor Freight Traffic Association and the US Department of Transportation.

Accuracy

We focus on dependable formulas and clear units. Our layout makes it easy to check your density and cubic feet step by step.

Clarity

Freight terms should not feel hidden behind jargon. We explain concepts in plain language wherever possible.

Practical Support

Our content is shaped around the real questions shippers ask when preparing pallets, cartons, and LTL freight.

Trust

We aim to be transparent about estimates, limitations, and the importance of confirming final class with carriers when needed.

Milestones

A steady path toward clearer freight planning.

Each milestone reflects a simple commitment: make freight class and density calculations easier for more people to use.

Launch

Freight class calculator goes live

We released a focused calculator to help users enter shipment dimensions and weight, then calculate density and estimated class in one place.

Refinement

Density and cubic feet guidance improves

We added clearer language around PCF, CFT, and measurement basics so users could better understand how the estimate is formed.

Resources

Freight education becomes a priority

Common shipping questions shaped new explanations, examples, and practical notes for teams learning LTL freight fundamentals.

Today

Supporting more shippers with simple tools

We continue improving the experience for businesses that need fast, understandable freight planning support before booking a shipment.
