Pounds
Per Cubic Foot Calculator
Freight rates are
based on a number of factors including, PCF (Pounds Per Cubic Foot).
A low PCF will result in a higher class rating and a higher cost per
pound for shipping.
As an example, a
shipment that works out to 1.31 pound per cubic foot and weights 100
pounds (Class 300) will be much more expensive to ship than an item that
has the same weight but equates to 9.67 pounds per cubic foot
(Class100). The reason for this is the space it occupies.
For this reason,
shippers are encouraged to make sure their weights and dimensions are
accurate in order to avoid billing adjustments based on PCF and class
changes.
