How do I calculate LTL Density Rating?

If using the density calculation to determine the BOL Class, the following is the calculation that will be used to determine the BOL Class.  If using the part records BOL class or using FAK for the BOL Class, do not this calculation.

 

The calculation for determining BOL class by density is:

 

Density Level = (Weight / (Length X Width X Height) / 1728)).

    

Density Level                                 Freight Class

Less than 1                                      400

1 but less than 2                              300

2 but less than 4                              250

4 but less than 6                              150

6 but less than 8                              125

8 but less than 10                            100

10 but less than 12                           92.5

12 but less than 15                           85

15 but less than 22.5                        70

22.5 but less than 30                        65

Greater than 30                                 60

 

Examples:

 

1 Container

1 - 48X48X40 @ 450 pounds

(450 / ((48X48X40) / 1728)) = 8.4375

Freight Class 100

 

3 Containers

1 - 48X48X40 @ 400 pounds

1 - 40X40X40 @ 400 pounds

1 - 36X36X36 @ 400 pounds

(1200 / (((48X48X40)+(40X40X40)+(36X36X36)) / 1728)) = 10.22405

Freight Class 92.5
