Freight calculatorWhat will this load cost?

Two pin codes, what you are sending and the weight. You get an indicative cost, the delivery tier and whether the destination is direct or ODA.

Charged on actual weight or CDM, whichever is higher. Indicative band only, your branch confirms the firm rate before pickup.

How freight charges are calculated

Part load and parcel freight is priced on four things, and this freight cost calculator uses the same four. Nothing else changes the number.

The lane

Where you load and where it has to reach. A 24 hour daily service lane such as Vijayawada to Hyderabad is priced differently from a 72 hour route that moves through a transhipment point. The freight rate calculator reads the delivery tier straight off the lane.

Weight or CDM

Chargeable weight is the actual weight in kilograms or the CDM in cubic feet, whichever works out higher. Light, bulky consignments are charged on the space they take, because that is the space the lorry loses.

Nature of goods

What you are sending changes the handling. Feed and fertiliser move as dense bagged cargo. Pharma and auto components need careful loading and more protection in transit. The freight charges calculator adjusts for the commodity.

Direct or ODA

Most of our 145 locations are direct delivery pin codes. Some are ODA, which means out of delivery area, so the last leg runs on a scheduled connection instead of a daily one. ODA destinations carry a surcharge and the final leg is confirmed at booking.

What the freight cost calculator includes

A freight cost estimator can only price the movement. These are the things that sit inside the figure and the things that do not.

Included in the estimate

  • Line haul on our own closed body fleet
  • Loading and unloading at our branches
  • Standard transit handling on the lane
  • LR generation and delivery updates

Quoted separately

  • GST at the applicable rate
  • Door pickup and door delivery, where you want them
  • ODA last leg beyond the direct delivery network
  • Speed Service for loads above 3 tonnes

Freight calculator questions

How accurate is the freight estimator?

This cargo freight calculator gives an indicative band, not a quotation. The band is built from the lane, the delivery tier, the chargeable weight and the commodity. Your branch confirms the firm figure before pickup, because packaging, stackability and pickup access all move the final number.

What is CDM and when am I charged on it?

CDM is the cubic space your consignment occupies, measured in cubic feet. You are charged on whichever is higher, the actual weight in kilograms or the CDM converted to kilograms. Light and bulky goods such as furniture, empty containers or packaging material are almost always charged on CDM.

Does the estimate tell me how long delivery takes?

Yes. Alongside the freight charges calculator result you get the delivery tier for that lane: 24 hours on our daily service lanes, 48 hours where the consignment moves through one transhipment, and up to 72 hours for the rest of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Bookings placed before 4:00 PM qualify for the next 24 hour or 48 hour slot. Tiers are indicative and the final commitment is confirmed at booking.

Do you publish a fixed rate card?

Rates are set by lane and weight slab, and regular shippers on a fixed pickup schedule are priced differently from one-off consignments. Tell us your lane and how often you ship, and we give you the rate that applies to your volume.

Is the transport charges calculator the same for all four branches?

Yes. Enter any pickup pin code on our network and it prices from there, whether the consignment starts at Vijayawada, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam or Kadapa.

Does this work as a freight calculator for the whole of India?

No, and that is on purpose. A national freight calculator will price you a lane nobody actually runs to a schedule. Lucky Express serves 145 locations: 128 in Andhra Pradesh, 11 in Telangana, five delivery points in Chennai and Tumakuru in Karnataka. This freight rate calculator prices only those, from our four branches at Vijayawada, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Kadapa.

What if my pin code is not recognised?

It means the location is not on our serviceable list yet. We cover 145 locations across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Chennai and Tumakuru, and the network is still growing. Send us the lane and we will check whether we can run it.

How do I get a firm quotation?

Use the form below or call your nearest branch. Give us the two pin codes, the commodity, the typical weight and how often you ship, and we come back with the transit time, the pickup day and the transport charges for that lane.
