How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List as “Insulated food/beverage jugs, metal or metal‑plastic jacketed — boxed” on the BOL and rate NMFC 107840, Class 150 to avoid reclass.
  2. Use sturdy cartons with corner guards; immobilize spigots, caps, and handles using foam or corrugated inserts to prevent punctures and dents.
  3. Drain and dry jugs before shipping; mark cartons “This Side Up” to protect vacuum jackets and spouts. Example: 1‑gal metal cooler with plastic jacket, boxed.
  4. Palletize snugly with no overhang, cross‑stack cartons, add a top sheet, and stretch‑wrap to stabilize and prevent strap marks on metal surfaces.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable Class 150 pricing speeds quotes and reduces costly reclass disputes.
  • Boxed packaging lowers damage risk on dent‑prone metal jackets, cutting claim costs and returns.
  • Non‑hazardous status eliminates hazmat fees and simplifies carrier selection and training.
  • Pallet‑friendly cartons improve cube and stacking efficiency, helping offset higher Class 150 rates.
