What would a smaller box save you?
Compare your current box with a smaller one: billable weight, transportation savings and the fuel saved on top, across a year of shipments.

How this is calculated
Billable weight per box = max(DIM, actual). Savings = billable pounds saved × rate × volume, plus fuel on the difference.
Rates shown as defaults come from carrier publications or each carrier’s published table applied to the EIA price; see the methodology. Estimates and examples are labeled. Results are illustrative and do not represent any carrier’s reported financial results.
Questions
How much can right-sizing boxes save?
When DIM weight drives billing, a few inches can cut billable weight by a third, and fuel falls with it.
