How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List “Blue Print parts, NOI” with NMFC 115080 and Class 100 on the BOL to avoid reclassification; include box or crate counts and dimensions for carrier planning.
- Use sturdy boxes for smaller SKUs (filters, sensors) with void fill and corner protection; reserve wood crating for heavy castings like hubs or knuckles to prevent puncture damage.
- Bundle multiple small cartons into a master box or on a single pallet and shrink-wrap tightly; band crates to pallets so forklift handling doesn’t split pieces.
- Bag grease-coated or machined surfaces, add part numbers and packing lists on the exterior, and photograph packed goods before tendering for faster claim resolution if needed.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable rating: Fixed Class 100 removes density disputes, simplifying quotes for distributors moving mixed Blue Print SKUs.
- Lower claim risk: Boxed or crated requirement aligns with carrier handling, reducing damage on metal components and cutting replacement costs.
- Faster operations: Clear NOI mapping (115080) speeds TMS entry and shortens rate shopping for LTL and cross-dock moves.
- Better cost control: Consolidating cartons and properly crating heavy items reduces handling fees and accessorials tied to loose freight.
