LTL Freight Class Calculator for Amazon FBA

Estimate freight class from pallet count, dimensions, and total weight before you quote LTL/FTL freight.

FBA LTL/FTL Freight Class

LTL freight classification is determined by the entire shipment, not individual pallets. While the characteristics of each handling unit within a shipment are considered, the overall shipment's density, handling requirements, and other factors determine the final freight class.
Enter pallet count, dims, and weight to see density and the likely class.

Density-based estimate you can sanity check fast

Use this calculator to find a more accurate freight class for Amazon FBA partnered LTL quotes, instead of overpaying when Amazon auto-selects the highest-cost class.

  • Density-first logic

  • Clear guidance

    Shows total cubic feet, density, and the class range your shipment likely falls into.

  • Built for FBA shippers

    Save cost on each shipment by providing an accurate freight class to Amazon
