How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Quote using NMFC 112960 and Class 50; no density needed. Provide piece count and maximum length so carriers can plan equipment.
- Band pilings into stable bundles with hardwood dunnage and two or more steel straps at each bearing point to prevent rolling.
- Choose flatbed or stretch trailers for long lengths; deploy chocks, cribbing, and spreader bars or slings to protect ends and reduce bowing.
- Mark bundles with count, length range, and diameter notes, and add clear Do Not Stack tags for safe yard handling and delivery.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 50 delivers predictable pricing and minimizes reclass or dispute risk.
- No density calculations shortens quoting time and avoids reweigh-related delays.
- Unitized bundles speed loading, reduce detention, and cut handling damage on jobsites and marinas.
- Accurate NMFC mapping helps carriers pre-plan long-load gear, reducing surprise overlength fees and failed pickups.
