When to consider multiweight instead of freight
Multiweight is rating logic that automatically compares the total cost of sending multiple shipments versus treating all the packages as a single shipment. Then it automatically applies the lower price. You can’t use multiweight pricing with freight, but it might be a good replacement if the cost is lower or you don’t want to palletize or set aside space to stage shipments. It’s also a good choice if your destination doesn’t have a lift-gate or dock. Find out if multiweight is right for you.
