Use this logistics calculation for a transparent shipment, inventory, warehouse, customs, packaging, carrier, or service-level estimate when the governing units and business rules are explicit.

Rate/cwt (USD/cwt)

Tariff rate in US dollars per hundredweight (cwt).

Weight (lb)

Chargeable weight in pounds.

Accessorials

Sum of accessorial fees in US dollars.

Minimum charge

Carrier minimum charge applied to the linehaul before accessorials, in US dollars.

Price an LTL shipment as rate-per-cwt times weight over 100 lb, apply the carrier minimum charge to the linehaul and add accessorial fees. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Linehaul

Linehaul charge before the minimum-charge floor, in US dollars.

Linehaul after floor

Linehaul after applying the minimum-charge floor, in US dollars.

Total charge

Total charge including accessorial fees, in US dollars.

• Carrier tariffs, customs rules, dangerous-goods requirements, hours-of-service rules, surcharges, port terms, dimensional divisors, and service definitions vary by jurisdiction, contract, date, mode, and commodity. A calculation is not a booking, classification, or compliance determination.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Verify current carrier and authority documents, retain shipment dimensions and timestamps, test boundary cases, and reconcile estimates against invoices and operational scans.

• Container Per Diem Charges Computation

  Multiply chargeable detention or demurrage days by the daily per-diem rate and apply an optional total charge cap, where a cap of zero means uncapped.

• Customs Broker Fee per Entry Lookup

  Average brokerage spend per customs entry, apply any contractual per-entry minimum, and compare against an indicative benchmark fee that should be overridden with your quoted rate.

• Travel Time Order Picker Batch

  Split a picker's batch task into travel time (distance over walking speed) and pick time (lines times seconds per line), with documented default speed and pick rate to override with measured values.
