Choose the shipping decision

Start with the calculator that matches the shipment type, then keep freight/ramp outputs as planning estimates.

Vehicle shipping

Compare vehicle transport ranges from mileage, open/enclosed transport, running status, and urgency.

Freight and LCL

Estimate dimensional freight and chargeable measure before requesting a shipper quote.

Compare the calculator inputs with your measurements, then read the formula, example, assumptions, and limits before using the estimate.

Pallet and warehouse

Plan carton stacking, pallet utilization, storage days, handling fees, and order-pick assumptions.

Ramp and loading geometry

Check ramp angle and loading length before moving equipment or vehicles.

Compare the calculator inputs with your measurements, then read the formula, example, assumptions, and limits before using the estimate.

Methodology notes

  • Each calculator states its formula or method, shows an example, and lists assumptions that can change the result.
  • Specialized planning calculators remain accessible, while broad recommendations emphasize the clearest calculators.
  • Safety-sensitive tools show conservative warnings and assumptions.
