Affiliate Disclosure

FreightFigures is a free logistics tools site built and maintained by the team at Cate Freight, a licensed Customs Bonded 3PL operating at the Port of Charleston, South Carolina.

How We Make Money

FreightFigures is free to use. To keep it that way, some articles on this site contain affiliate links -- links to third-party products or services. If you click one of these links and make a purchase or sign up for a service, FreightFigures may receive a commission from the vendor. This comes at no additional cost to you.

What This Means for Our Reviews

Our tools, calculators, and data are not affected by affiliate relationships. Rate tables, tariff schedules, freight class lookups, and all calculation logic are maintained independently. Affiliate commissions do not influence our tool methodology or our editorial positions.

When we recommend a software platform or service in an article, we do so because we believe it provides genuine value to shippers and logistics professionals -- not because of commission rates.

Current Affiliate Relationships

We may currently participate in affiliate or referral programs with freight technology vendors including shipping software platforms and transportation management systems. Articles that include affiliate links are noted with a disclosure at the top of the article.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We are committed to transparency with our readers.
