How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List “Poles, wooden, NOI — NMFC 113060, Class 50” on the BOL to prevent reclass and speed dock handling.
- Capture the longest piece length and note it for the carrier; book appropriate equipment (dry van for standard lengths, flatbed for extended runs).
- Unitize by uniform length with wood dunnage and two or more bands per bundle; tag each bundle with count and length for quick checks.
- Load from the side using wide forks or from above with a spreader bar; add edge protectors and block the round stock to prevent rolling.
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 LTL rating, helping control costs versus variable density items.
- Accurate NMFC 113060 on paperwork reduces reclass fees, disputes, and billing delays.
- Standardized bundles and declared lengths cut accessorials for overlength and special handling, and reduce dock time.
- Mode flexibility: combine LTL for small bundles or consolidate to truckload for projects to lower cost per pole.
