You'd have to rate each item individually because the rate varies by NMFC which can vary from item to item. Your best bet would probably be to find the NMFC that represents the "middle ground" and rate the entire order using that NMFC. In that case, you could use some derivative of the fedex-query tag because you'd be dealing with the entire order and a fixed NMFC. The issue that you are encountering is that, in the shipping industry, LTL rating is based off a different set of input values than those for small packages (and those for truckload, as well). Hope this helps, Jeff _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
