Load Pro-Ration example – by cube adjusted weight

This example illustrates how load costs will be pro-rated to the associated shipment legs based exclusively on each leg’s percentage of the total cube adjusted weight. In this case, load pro-ration will not consider the distance that each shipment needs to move.

Consider the load as follows:

  • Load Trailer Equipment Cube Adjustment for Pro-Ration: 14
  • Load Total Cost: 779.5

Shipment

Volume (Cu. ft)

Weight (LB)

Cube Adjusted Weight*

Dim Weight**

Allocation (%) Pro-Rated Cost
WWW 500 30000 7000 30000 41.67 (as 30000/72000*100) 324.79
XXX 3000 10000 42000 42000 58.33 (as 42000/72000*100) 454.71
      Total: 72000 100 779.5

Notes:

  • *Cube Adjusted Weight = (Volume * Cube Adjustment for Pro-Ration)
  • **Dim Weight = Max (Weight, Cube Adjusted Weight)
