How this estimate works

FreightKit keeps the working visible so you can sense-check the answer before using it in a decision.

Density = total gross weight ÷ total outside volume

This tool calculates physical density only. It does not assign an NMFC freight class or replace a carrier's classification rules.

This calculator is a planning aid, not a carrier quotation, engineering assessment, or professional advice. Verify critical figures against current supplier and carrier documentation.
