The freight class lookup alone is worth it. I used to have to pull up the NMFC chart every time. Now it's right there. My quoting time dropped by half.

Accessorials were always an afterthought. Now they're built in. We stopped leaving money on residential deliveries and liftgate jobs almost immediately.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between LTL and FTL quoting?+

LTL (less-than-truckload) is for shipments that don't fill an entire trailer — you share space with other shippers and pay for your portion. FTL (full truckload) means you're booking an entire trailer. LTL pricing is based on weight, freight class, and accessorials. FTL is typically priced per mile or as a flat rate.

What are accessorial charges in freight?+

Accessorials are additional service fees beyond the base line-haul rate. Common accessorials include residential delivery, liftgate service, inside delivery, limited access pickup/delivery, notify before delivery, and fuel surcharges. They're often overlooked in quotes and can add 15-25% to the base rate.

How does freight class affect my quote?+

Freight class (18 classes from 50 to 500) is determined by density, stowability, handling, and liability. Higher class means higher rates — Class 500 (low-density items like ping pong balls) costs dramatically more to ship than Class 50 (dense commodities like steel). Using the wrong class on a shipment results in reclassification charges.

Can I use this tool to quote customers as a broker or 3PL?+

Yes. The tool is designed for carriers and brokers quoting outbound shipments to customers. You enter your cost inputs and apply your margin to produce a customer-facing quote. The contact capture section lets you save quote details and customer information together.
