NMFC 124085 - Washing Machine Drain Hose | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the product is a rubber washing machine drain hose (with or without fittings) packaged in closed boxes; it maps to NMFC 124085 at fixed Class 70—no density needed.
2. Coil hoses loosely, bag the bundle, and cap or tape any metal fittings so they won’t puncture cartons; add kraft paper or simple dividers to prevent kinks and compression set.
3. Choose 32 ECT/200# cartons for small packs; move to double‑wall boxes for master cartons (e.g., 25–50 hoses) and seal with reinforced tape for stacked LTL handling.
4. For multi‑box shipments, palletize on 40×48 with no overhang, use corner boards, stretch‑wrap and two straps, and label “Washing Machine Drain Hose – Class 70, NMFC 124085” to prevent misclassification as generic rubber tubing.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies quoting and billing—no density math, fewer reclass disputes, and faster rate shopping across carriers.
• Non‑hazardous rubber goods avoid hazmat paperwork and surcharges, reducing accessorials and speeding tender and pickup windows.
• Boxed, stackable cartons raise trailer cube efficiency and reduce damage risk, lowering per‑unit freight cost on distributor or retail replenishments.
• Clear NMFC alignment (124085) minimizes inspections and W&I fees, improving audit outcomes and protecting margin on LTL lanes.
