How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the commodity as “Feed Water, in packages – NMFC 128360, Class 85” on the BOL to avoid density audits or reclass.
  2. Use leakproof containers (HDPE jugs or carboys) inside sturdy cartons; line cartons with poly and palletize, shrink-wrapped, with This Side Up labels.
  3. Protect against freeze risk on winter routes; request heated service and mark Do Not Freeze so containers don’t split and leak.
  4. Do not co-load with corrosive chemicals; keep treated water separate from additives and provide a product spec sheet if requested.

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