Understanding Weight Breaks in Shipping: When to Move Up Classes

This tutorial explores the intricacies of shipping weights and class rates, focusing on the decision to move up a class. We examine a shipment of 130 boxes weighing 75 pounds each, originating in Columbus, Ohio, and destined for Columbiaville, Michigan. With a total cost of $1,335.75 and a released value of $0.80 per pound, we analyze whether it's more cost-effective to ship at 9,750 lbs or to move up to 10,000 lbs. We will apply algebraic calculations to determine the weight break-even point (WBE) and help you make informed shipping decisions.
