FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is billable weight calculated?
Carriers compare the "Actual Weight" (scale weight) to the "Dimensional Weight" (volume). The higher of the two becomes the Billable Weight. This ensures carriers are paid for lightweight but bulky packages that take up space in the truck.
What is the dimensional divisor?
The divisor is a number set by carriers to convert volume into weight. A common standard is 139 for daily rates, while 166 is sometimes used for retail rates. A lower divisor (139) results in a higher billable weight.
Does this estimate include fuel surcharges?
Yes, if you enter a percentage in the "Fuel surcharge percent" field under Advanced Settings. Fuel surcharges fluctuate weekly based on national fuel prices.
Why is the quote directional?
Shipping rates are highly complex and depend on exact zones, negotiated contract discounts, and daily surcharges. This tool provides a baseline planning number but cannot replace a live carrier quote.
