How do I calculate my shipment's density/How do I know if the cube rule will apply?
Shipment density is one of the factors that determine how freight charges are calculated and whether Midland Courier's cube rule is applied. Shipments weighing less than 15 lbs. per cubic foot are charged on the basis of 1 cubic foot = 15 lbs.
1. Measure the height, width and depth of the shipment in inches. Measure to the farthest points including skids or other packaging. Make sure to measure each piece of a multiple piece shipment.
2. Multiply the 3 measurements (height x width x depth). This gives you the number of cubic inches. Again, do this for each piece of a piece shipment and total.
3. Divide this by 1,728 which is the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot. The result is the total cubic feet.
4. Multiply the total cubic feet of the shipment by 15. This gives you the cubic weight of the shipment.
5. The shipment will be rated at either actual weight or cubic weight whichever is greater.
For more information or questions on application of the cube rule, please contact the Answer Centre.
