A package must weigh at least 151 pounds. It must be palletized, stackable, forklift- friendly and shrink- wrapped or banded for stability. The uniform cargo footprint can be no larger than 16 square feet and no taller than 70 inches with a maximum weight for a standard freight package of 2,200 pounds. If you are shipping 6,751 pounds of stackable 8 foot square items with a value of $33,150, does your shipment qualify as freight? If so, how much freight packages would you need? Calculate the actual pounds for each freight package.

Package: at least 151 pounds
The cargo area at base: <16ft²
Height: <= 70"
Weight: <=2,200 pounds
Packages: 6' square
Shipping: 6,751 pounds

Unknown: package height, number of packages
Not useful: $33,150

From what we do have, 3 shipments could carry 6,600 pounds,
so it should be evenly divided into 4 shipments.
In each of these 4 shipments, the packages could be stacked 4 to a level,
but as mentioned, we don't know the height.
