Usually no. A 26ft box truck has ~1,700 cu ft capacity, while a 20ft container has only 1,172 cu ft. You'd likely need a 40ft container.
A 40ft High Cube container typically holds 20 or 21 Standard Pallets (40x48 inches) depending on configuration.
11 Euro Pallets (1200x800mm). The specific layout requires 7 pallets lengthwise + 4 pallets crosswise to maximize floor utilization.
Formula: (L x W x H in cm) / 5000. Result is in kg. Express carriers round up to the nearest 0.5 kg, unlike US carriers who round to the nearest lb.
139 is the standard retail divisor. 166 is the negotiated discount divisor. Moving from 139 to 166 prevents 16% of 'phantom weight' from being billed.
Standard DHL divisor is 5000 (200 kg/m3). High volume accounts >1000 pkgs/mo can negotiate a 6000 divisor, reducing billable weight by 16%.
Yes. Carriers scan the widest point. If 1 inch of pallet overhangs, you pay for that empty air vertically on the entire pallet. It's a 9.4% hidden surcharge.
Freight Class 50 covers dense items (>50 lbs/cf) like steel. Class 70 covers standard items (15-22.5 lbs/cf) like car parts. Class 50 is significantly cheaper to ship.
Standard USPS divisor is 166. However, specifically for small heavy packages (<0.5 cu ft), Cubic Pricing is used which bills by volume tier, not weight.
A 10lb package at 24x12x12 has a billable weight of 25 lbs. The 'Air Tax' is the shipping cost of the 15 lbs of phantom weight (~$22 extra).
