How freight class and weight both bill
Less-than-truckload rates use a freight class and the shipment weight together, not weight alone.
When the purchase is complete, return to the original window. It will refresh.
From the opening
On a less-than-truckload move, the carrier prices the shipment from a freight class and from how much it weighs. Class reflects how the freight uses the trailer, and weight scales that class rate up to the size of this particular bill. The opening covers class describes how freight behaves, weight scales the class rate, and reclass and reweigh both rebill.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
