How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Choose packaging by build: box benchtop units with dense foam, crate floor models with blocking and a moisture barrier over food-contact parts.
- List NMFC 114530, Class 100 on the BOL with exact piece count and packaging type (box or crate); request liftgate or inside delivery if the bakery lacks a dock.
- Palletize with 4‑way entry; through‑bolt bases to the skid, immobilize arms and crimp heads, and remove loose guards or hoppers to pack separately.
- Provide realistic examples for quoting: a benchtop unit in a 24x20x18 box vs a floor model in a 48x40x60 crate; include weight and accessorials to avoid re-bills.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 simplifies LTL quotes and helps prevent density disputes and costly reclass fees.
- Defined box or crate packaging lowers transit damage risk, protecting precision crimp heads and minimizing production downtime.
- Non-hazardous status expands carrier availability and accelerates tendering during peak bakery seasons.
- Accurate NMFC line item streamlines billing, cuts admin time, and improves audit trail for multi-location bakeries.
