# Transportation Calculator

> Transportation Calculator helps individuals and commercial shippers understand what affects the cost of moving a small, medium or large package or shipment — size and weight, distance, speed, packaging and insurance — across small parcels, freight and LTL, full truckload, furniture and large items, vehicle shipping, international, same-day courier and white-glove delivery, then connects you with an independent shipping provider. Educational only; we never quote rates.

Transportation Calculator is an independent directory. People describe what they are looking for; the platform matches them with independent shipping providers. Content is educational only — not professional advice. Part of the R0cketShip network.
