This MCP server provides specialized tools for logistics professionals to calculate National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) details. Use calculate_shipping_density to find the density in pounds per cubic foot (PCF) based on weight and dimensions. Then, use get_class_from_density to map that density to its specific NMFC class (ranging from Class 50 to 500). Finally, apply evaluate_cost_impact to estimate how the freight class affects your total shipping costs using a base rate per pound.

What is the density of a 50lb box that is 12x12x12 inches?

The density for a 50lb package with dimensions 12x12x12 inches is approximately 2.89 pounds per cubic foot (PCF).

What NMFC class corresponds to a density of 30 PCF?

A density of 30 PCF falls into Class 50.

If my base rate is $2.00 per lb, what is the cost impact for Class 250?

For a weight of 100 lbs at a base rate of $2.00 per lb, the estimated total cost for Class 250 is $240.00 (applying a multiplier of 1.2).

You can use the `calculate_shipping_density` tool. Simply provide the weight in pounds and the dimensions (length, width, and height) in inches.
