The upcoming overhaul of the LTL trucking classification this summer raises concerns among shippers, primarily regarding cost implications. The impact on shipping costs will vary based on shipment density, with lighter and less dense shipments facing significant price increases, while heavier shipments between 4 to 6 pounds per cubic foot and those over 8 pounds will see reductions in costs. Some shipments with a density of 6 to 8 pounds per cubic foot will remain unchanged. Shippers are advised to consult with carriers and logistics providers for specifics on how these changes will affect their operations.
