Why Dimensions And Weight Are Required To Get A Quote For LCL (Less Than Container Load)?

Less than container load rates are based on gross weight or volume of goods, whichever is greater. To calculate the volume of a shipment, each piece’s dimensions are required. If the volume weight is more than the actual gross weight, the costing is done at the volume weight. If the volume weight is lesser than the actual weight, the costing is done at the actual weight.
