NMFC 113160 - Roof Arches or Trusses, wood | Class N/A

Note 113162: NOTE-Arches or trusses subject to water damage must be wrapped in waterproof paper or plastic film.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference the NMFC note under item 113162 to confirm the exact class and any packaging rules before tendering wood roof trusses or arches.
2. Unitize trusses in straight, banded bundles on dunnage with blocking at panel points; add edge guards so metal plates and chord ends are protected.
3. Measure overall length, height of the arch, and any overhang; include the tallest bow when providing dimensions to avoid unexpected length or cubic fees.
4. Select equipment based on geometry: flatbed with tarps for long spans or framed arches; LTL only if bundles fit within trailer height and can be forklift handled.

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

• Correct NMFC alignment reduces reclass fees and dispute time, keeping construction schedules on track.
• Bundled, braced packaging cuts handling damage to connector plates and lowers claims costs.
• Right-size carrier choice (flatbed vs LTL) minimizes length surcharges, excessive cube charges, and accessorials at jobsite delivery.
• Clear dimensions and notes up front speed quoting and dispatch, improving rate accuracy for bid proposals.
