To determine the shipping cost in LTL, factors such as the weight, dimensions, density, and freight class of the shipment are considered. Freight class is a standardized classification system that categorizes goods based on their characteristics, such as density, stability, handling requirements, and liability. This classification helps determine the shipping rates and any additional accessories charges that may apply.
