NMFC 114994: Vehicle Overhead Blowers/Driers, Class 250

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List on the BOL: Blowers or Driers, vehicle, overhead, in crates or on skids - NMFC 114994, Class 250, non-hazardous.
2. On skids, lag-bolt the base and add braces; on crates, block motors and impellers, add moisture barrier, and mark center of gravity and Do Not Tip.
3. Remove detachable nozzles, guards, and brackets; bag hardware and secure in a parts box, then label pieces as 1 of 2, 2 of 2.
4. Share exact dimensions and weight to avoid extra fees; keep lengths under 96 in when possible, request liftgate or appointment for sites without docks.

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

• Fixed Class 250 rating speeds quotes and prevents reclass charges since density does not change the class.
• Right-size packaging: skids can cut packing costs and weight, while full crates reduce risk and potential claim payouts on motors and housings.
• Clear labeling and bracing lower damage rates, protecting uptime for car wash operators, body shops, and dealer service bays.
• Non-hazardous machinery moves on standard LTL networks, expanding carrier options and avoiding hazmat fees and paperwork.
