A freight charge is the amount you pay to ship something. It is generally determined by the weight of the item and the distance that it is being shipped.


There are a few other factors to get a freight rate. You will need to know the freight class (http://freight88.com/NMFC-Codes-Freight_class.html)

You will also need to know the product value and if there are accessorial charges.

Some freight classes are item specific and others are based on it's pounds per cubic footage (Density).

You also can get different tariffs from carriers which determine their rate based on a particular /weight/lane/density.

There is no clear simple answer since there are many variables to the potential "freight charge". If you need an instant rate, there is a page we offer that will give you a real quote based on 20+ national freight carriers rates. The page will give you the option of selecting all needed criteria to get an accurate freight cost instantly: http://freight88.com/

If you are shipping a full load you need to know the current national average (at www.fairtran.com)
