LTL charges commonly vary by freight class. If the official NMFC class is unknown, estimate density first, then confirm the class before tendering the shipment." }, { "q": "Can I use linear feet instead of dimensions?", "a": "Yes. Use linear feet when a carrier, broker, or warehouse already knows the trailer floor space. Use dimensions when you need density and a planning class context." }, { "q": "Why does the result show a range?", "a": "The range reflects planning uncertainty from class, lane, account discounts, volume LTL review, and accessorial interpretation.
