Which calculator is missing?
The tools on this site do not come from a keyword list. They come from specific mistakes people make when buying freight. If you have one, tell us.
What is genuinely useful to know
The useful question is not "what topic interests you" but what do you work out now by hand or in a spreadsheet. That is where the gap is. The three most-used tools here started exactly that way:
- "I quoted on weight and got billed double" → the billable weight calculator, with the loading metre for non-stackable freight.
- "I do not know whether I need one container or two" → pallets per container, which points out that almost everything runs out of weight before it runs out of room.
- "I have an odd piece, some crates and some pallets and I cannot tell if it fits" → the mixed load tool, which checks door height separately from internal height.
None of those three would occur to somebody staring at a search engine. All three came from a person describing a problem they had had.

What happens to what you write
This page works differently from the calculators, and it is worth saying so plainly. The calculators do their arithmetic inside your browser and send nothing anywhere. A form, by definition, does send what you write: that is the only way it can arrive.
Right now the button sends nothing by itself: it opens your own mail program with the text already written, and you decide whether to send it. Nothing leaves your computer until you press send in your own email.
What gets a reply and what does not
- A calculation you do by hand. Read first, every time.
- An error in a calculator. Straight to the top of the queue: include the figures you entered, what came out and what you expected.
- An out-of-date figure. A link to the source is enough.
- Sponsored post offers or link exchanges. Not answered.
This site is maintained alongside a full-time job, so replies take days rather than hours. If your suggestion turns into a calculator, you will hear about it.
