NMFC 114350: Bread & Cracker Grinding Mills | Cl 85-100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select packaging to match the class: boxed or crated mills commonly rate lower than loose units. Use a heavy skid, lag-screw the base, and brace motors and housings.
2. Protect food-contact paths. Remove and bag hoppers, screens, and burr sets; cap inlets/outlets and overwrap with clean poly to prevent contamination during transit.
3. Stabilize for LTL handling. Mark center of gravity, add tip-and-shock indicators, and block the frame inside a crate. Example: 48x40 or larger pallet with 4-way entry.
4. Plan access at bakeries or plants. Note liftgate needs, limited receiving hours, and inside delivery on the BOL along with NMFC 114350 and the chosen packaging type.

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

• Target the better rate: crated or boxed mills typically achieve a lower class than loose, reducing LTL base charges without changing service speed.
• Cut risk and claims: rigid blocking, moisture protection, and food-safe covers prevent damage and contamination that lead to downtime or rework.
• Avoid reclass fees: documenting NMFC 114350 with clear packaging details on the BOL limits inspections and surprise billing.
• Streamline compliance: non-hazardous machinery widens carrier options and simplifies paperwork, accelerating quotes and pickups.
