UPS freight calculator

I have managed to get a UPS Shipping calculator working in PHP. I now found out that the standard shipping from UPS is capped at 150lbs. For anything over 150lbs, I need to ship via freight.

Has anyone ever coded a Freight Calculator with UPS? The calculator I wrote for anything under 150lbs does not require a UPS account. I was hoping to do the same for the freight calculator, however, I am unable to find any information on how to accomplish this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Why wouldn't you just get a UPS API account and request up-to-date rates directly from UPS?

I can't speak for Jon, but I wrote something like this for a job interview prescreen question once. I don't think I would have gotten the interview if I had made UPS do all the work...More seriously (to Jon), why can't you just use your existing code and plug in different rates?

I've got a solution for this on Magento - it will allow products over 150lb to be split up according to a maximum weight. For more info contact me at www.webshopapps.com

I ended up adding multiple quotes together - So a shipment that was between 150 lbs - 300 lbs would be split into two packages, and the two rate quotes would be added together to form the total rate cost.
