What Is Dimensional Weight?
Dimensional weight (dim weight) is the amount of space, or the volume, that a parcel or pallet occupies in relation to its actual weight. Because most carriers rely on dimensions to determine shipping rates, it is critical for logistics personnel to accurately determine dim weight. Using dim weight to plan truck loading also ensures carriers are optimizing truckload potential.
