2. Description of Service

FreeFreightClassCalculator.com is a free online resource providing:

• A freight class calculator based on NMFC density guidelines
• A shipping class calculator
• A density class calculator
• A weight class calculator
• A price per pound calculator
• A unit converter for freight measurements
• Educational content about freight classification, LTL shipping, and logistics

All calculator tools operate entirely within your web browser (client-side). No shipment data, dimensions, or weight information you enter into any calculator is transmitted to or stored on our servers.

The Site is provided free of charge. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time without notice.

3. Use of Calculator Tools

Our freight class calculator tools are provided for general estimating and educational purposes. You may use these tools to:

• Estimate freight class for LTL shipments based on density
• Calculate the density of shipments in pounds per cubic foot
• Convert units of measurement relevant to freight (inches, feet, pounds, kilograms)
• Estimate price per pound for freight cost analysis

You agree to use the tools in good faith and only for lawful purposes related to freight, logistics, shipping planning, or education.

4. Accuracy Disclaimer

The freight class estimates produced by our calculators are based on publicly available NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) density guidelines. However:

• Actual freight class assignments are made by carriers based on their own inspection and may differ from estimates
• NMFC classifications may change and our tools may not always reflect the most current version
• Freight class can be influenced by factors beyond density, including commodity type, packaging, handling characteristics, liability, and stowability
• Some commodities have fixed freight class assignments regardless of density

We make no warranty, express or implied, that the results from our calculators are accurate, complete, or suitable for any specific shipping transaction. Always verify freight class with your carrier or a licensed freight broker before booking a shipment. We are not responsible for any reclassification fees, incorrect charges, or shipping disputes arising from reliance on our calculator results.
