How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Calculate density from actual weight and cube to determine the class within 50–400 per Item 170; keep crates tight to avoid extra cube.
- Use sturdy boxes or wood crates, reinstall washer shipping bolts, drain hoses, cap gas lines on dryers, and secure doors and control panels.
- Palletize upright with 4-way entry, corner protectors, and banding; mark orientation and protect glass lids or stacked units from side impact.
- Reference Note Item 124201 if shipping pedestals or stacked washer-dryer combos, and list NMFC 124200 as non-hazmat on paperwork.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Right-sizing packaging improves density and can push loads into a lower class, reducing LTL rates for single units or multi-appliance skids.
- Accurate NMFC usage minimizes reclass/rebill risk, keeping margins predictable for appliance dealers, refurbishers, and property managers.
- Crating and proper bracing lower damage and claim costs on drums, bearings, and control boards—common loss points for laundry machines.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and speeds tendering, helping meet delivery windows for installations and turnarounds.
