Shippers need to be aware of a serious safety concern with regard to the accuracy of cargo containers, as well as individual skids and crates. In most cases, weight directly affects how much freight costs. It is common for shippers to mistakenly estimate a shipment’s weight lower than it actually is. For instance, it is rather typical for shippers to estimate the size of their cargo based on the product data and omit to account for the weight of the shipping package. Usually not a problem, but if there are multiple shipments in a container, the bulk shipment may be extremely overweight, endangering the safety of vehicles, ships, and aircraft.
