The tool converts crate dimensions to dimensional weight, then selects the higher of actual and DIM as billable weight. It applies zone and service multipliers to a base per-pound rate and adds crate, handling, and declared-value-based insurance cost to produce a realistic all-in estimate.
DIM weight = ceil(L × W × H ÷ divisor)
billable weight = max(ceil(actual), DIM weight)
base freight = billable × rate/lb × zone factor × service factor
total = base freight + crate fee + handling fee + insurance estimate
