NMFC 112960 – Wooden Piling | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote using NMFC 112960 and Class 50; no density needed. Provide piece count and maximum length so carriers can plan equipment.
2. Band pilings into stable bundles with hardwood dunnage and two or more steel straps at each bearing point to prevent rolling.
3. Choose flatbed or stretch trailers for long lengths; deploy chocks, cribbing, and spreader bars or slings to protect ends and reduce bowing.
4. 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.

• 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.
