How Our Nationwide Container Freight Brokers Calculate Costs
Container Freight Pricing Basics
Container freight pricing depends on container size, shipment type (FCL or LCL), weight, volume, distance and transit time. For LCL shipments, carriers use either cubic meters or weight, whichever results in a higher charge. Oversized or overweight containers may include extra fees based on dimensions or handling requirements.
As a nationwide container logistics provider, we help you compare options and avoid hidden costs with transparent, quote-based pricing.
