For Guam, rate your shipment from the point of origin to Commerce, CA 90040 using the applicable TForce Freight LTL rate.
- From Gateway Service Center to Island Service Center (Ocean Charges) – Pricing from the Pico Rivera, CA or Commerce, CA gateway to the island service center is based on cubic feet. Shipments with a density equal to or exceeding 45 lbs. per cubic foot will be rated on the basis of 1 cubic foot per 45 lbs. Please refer to UPGF 105 tariff for applicable charges.
- From Island Service Center to Final Destination (Island Delivery Charges) – Pricing for delivery upon arrival at the island destination is also based on cubic feet. Please refer to UPGF 105 tariff for applicable charges.
Calculating Cubic Feet
Freight will be measured on arrival in Pico Rivera, CA, as Ocean (Pico Rivera to island gateway service center) and Island Delivery (island gateway service center to final destination) charges are based on cubic feet measurements (length in inches × width in inches × height in inches divided by 1,728 = cubic feet).
Note: A weight factor may be applied to very dense freight on the ocean and island delivery segments. To ensure an accurate rate quote, freight should be calculated both by weight and cubic feet.
* Limited services available on the islands of Molokai and Lanai.
