Calculate XPO Logistics freight density, check Item 390 Capacity Load rules, and determine accurate LTL freight classes.
Did this calculation save you time?
Student ProjectHi! I'm a student developer building Calculat in my spare time. I was tired of searching for basic math tools and having to click through 10 spammy popups, loan ads, and cookie trackers.
I keep this website 100% free, private, and ad-free. If this helped you with your homework, project, or finances today, bookmarking this page or telling a friend helps me keep building more free tools!
The XPO Density Calculator evaluates LTL freight shipments moving across the XPO Logistics network. It determines exact PCF density and audits shipments against XPO Item 390 Capacity Load and linear foot rules to ensure accurate upfront freight quotes.
\text{PCF} = \frac{\text{Weight (lbs)}}{\text{Cubic Feet}} \quad ; \quad \text{Item 390 Trigger: } \text{Linear Feet} \ge 14 \text{ or Volume} \ge 750 \text{ cu ft}XPO applies special capacity rates when a single shipment consumes significant trailer capacity relative to its total billable weight.
Scenario: Shipping 8 standard pallets (48x40x52 inches) weighing 650 lbs each with XPO Logistics.
Volume per pallet: (48 × 40 × 52) / 1728 = 57.78 cu ft.
Total Volume: 8 × 57.78 = 462.2 cu ft (< 750 cu ft limit).
Total Weight: 8 × 650 = 5,200 lbs.
Density: 5,200 / 462.2 = 11.25 PCF (NMFC Class 100).
XPO Item 390 is the Capacity Load rule governing shipments that occupy a substantial portion of a trailer (typically 750+ cubic feet or 14+ linear feet) with low density, establishing a minimum billing charge.
XPO measures non-rectangular or cylindrical items based on the extreme outer dimensions of the imaginary rectangular prism that completely encloses the item.
Standard LTL freight typically limits single pallet weight to 2,500 to 4,000 lbs depending on forklift capacity at local delivery terminals; heavier items require specialized rigging.
Measure from pallet edge to pallet edge (including overhanging boxes), weigh the shipment on certified scales after shrink-wrapping, and declare the exact density and NMFC item on the bill of lading.
Calculate freight density in pounds per cubic foot (PCF), total cubic feet, and standard NMFC freight class (Class 50 to 500).
Calculate Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight density, trailer linear feet utilization, and stackable height allocations.
Calculate freight density, cubic dimensions, and freight class alignment according to BlueGrace Logistics guidelines.
