Dimensional Weight
Airport Drayage considers package density when calculating shipping charges. The calculation considers the amount of space your freight will take up on a truck in relation to the actual weight of your package.
Airport Drayage uses the industry standard Dimensional Weight Factor of 194.
(LxWxH)/194 = Dimensional Weight
[where L = length, W= width, and H=height and where LxWxH yields an amount in cubic inches and is rounded up to the nearest pound.
