About FreightPlanHQ

Core Purpose

Shipping freight requires navigating complex mathematical relationships across dimensions, density, packaging, and carrier equipment constraints. A shipper dispatching goods must understand how loose cartons pack into master boxes, how boxes layer onto pallets, what density bracket the pallet triggers under LTL tariffs, and how many pallets fill a shipping container or dry van.

FreightPlanHQ was built to provide rigorous, client-executed calculation tools that model these steps sequentially. The platform helps ecommerce operators, exporters, importers, warehouse teams, and shipping coordinators determine exact physical parameters before requesting a formal freight quote.

What This Platform Is Not

To maintain absolute neutrality and factual accuracy, FreightPlanHQ explicitly defines its boundaries:

• Not a freight broker or freight forwarder: We do not arrange transportation, book cargo, or sell space.
• Not an official NMFC tariff authority: We provide mathematical density calculations based on the standard 13-sub density table; we do not provide proprietary commodity code lookups.
• Not a carrier rate quotation engine: We model physical dimensions and volumetric weights; commercial freight rates and fuel surcharges must be obtained from carriers.
• Not a TMS (Transportation Management System): We do not store dispatch records, print bills of lading, or interface with carrier EDI/APIs.
