Abstract

See full text

A system and method for assisting a party (e.g., a freight carrier) in determining whether dimensional weight or actual weight should be used for shipping particular freight. A weighing device may be associated with a forklift, and may also include a DIM comparator in association with the forklift. The DIM comparator may have an input and a display of information, and may also include a CPU unit for storing and processing data. The DIM comparator may allow an operator to input various data through selectable menus and tables. The DIM comparator then determines a theoretical dimensional weight of the freight and compares it to the actual weight as measured by the weighing device associated with the forklift. This comparison is then displayed to the operator and a prompt is provided if a dimensional weight should be determined.
