LTL Freight Calculator
Less-than-truckload cost from class, weight and distance.
Per 100 lb, from your carrier tariff for the class and lane.
Estimated LTL cost

$44.39 per hundredweight all in
Accessorials are over a quarter of the bill. Delivering to a commercial address with a dock removes most of them.
How the LTL Freight Calculator works
LTL moves pallets that do not fill a trailer, sharing space with other shippers. Base rates depend on class, weight and lane, and accessorials — liftgate, residential, appointment, inside delivery — routinely add more than sellers expect to a quoted rate.
Not financial advice. Marketplace fees change, and they vary by country, plan and seller status. Every rate here is an editable default, not a quoted price — check the platform's current fee schedule before you price a product against it. This is not tax or business advice.
Frequently asked questions
When should I use LTL instead of parcel?
Generally above about 150 lb, or for anything palletised. Below that parcel is usually cheaper and faster. Between roughly 100 and 300 lb it is worth quoting both, since the crossover depends on class and lane.
What are accessorial charges?
Services beyond dock-to-dock: liftgate where there is no loading dock, residential delivery, delivery appointments, inside delivery, and limited-access locations. Each adds a fixed fee, and together they can exceed the base rate on a small shipment.
How is LTL priced?
A base rate per hundredweight determined by class and lane, adjusted by weight break — heavier shipments pay a lower rate per pound — plus fuel surcharge and accessorials. Discounts off the published tariff are negotiated and can be substantial.
How do I reduce LTL cost?
Improve density to lower the class, consolidate shipments to reach a better weight break, ship to commercial addresses with docks where possible, and use a freight broker if your volume is too low to negotiate directly.
