Freight shipping rates are typically dependent on a variety of factors. You can start by considering the type of freight being shipped, mode of transport, weight, distance and more. For example, for LTL shipments, rates are typically dependent on freight class. For TL shipments, amount per mile is the standard. Oversized flatbed rates are based on type of equipment, mileage, and total shipment weight.
