Our Freight Density Calculator helps you determine your freight rate. When shipping LTL freight, you must know how to handle shipment-density conversions to properly describe your goods on the bill of lading. Enter only the dimensions to obtain the cubic feet calculation. For density, enter the dimensions plus the weight.

Example: if the skid weighs 500 pounds with dimensions of 42 inches x 48 inches x 48 inches:
- Multiply 42" x 48" x 48" = 96,768 cubic inches
- Divide 96,768 by 1,728 = 56 cubic feet
- Divide 500 pounds by 56 cubic feet = 8.9 pounds per cubic feet (PCF), i.e., the shipment density.
