How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 107100 and Class 50 on the BOL; include piece count and approximate lengths (e.g., 24 rods, 25 ft each) to avoid reclass delays.
  2. Bundle rods tightly with steel banding in 6–12 piece packs, set on 4x4 dunnage or cradle pallets, and use wedges/chocks to prevent rolling in dry vans.
  3. Protect threaded ends and couplings with caps; add rubber or cardboard separators between bars to prevent scuffing and abrasion.
  4. For extra-long or heavy bundles, request a flatbed with pipe stakes or a Conestoga; use corner protectors under straps for secure, claim-free transit.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
