Notes

Note 131827: NOTE-Applies only on windshields (superstructures) or curtains for cloth tractor cabs (weather protectors).

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Break down the cab set KD and pack cloth, frames, and hardware by subassembly in double-wall boxes; pad sharp ends and add corner guards to stop punctures.
  2. Fold windshields/superstructures or curtains per Note 131827 and sleeve clear panels; band bundles before boxing so parts can't slide.
  3. Use internal blocking (honeycomb, foam, or molded pulp) to immobilize pieces; mark cartons DO NOT BEND along the long side.
  4. List contents and piece count on each label (1 of X) to keep the KD kit together; palletize only if carton size demands, then strap and top-cap.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 85 eliminates density debates, delivering quotes that match invoices and preventing reclass fees.
  • KD flat or folded packing shrinks cube, easing LTL minimums and trimming cost per unit.
  • Boxed kits protect cloth and glazing, lowering concealed-damage claims and keeping installs on schedule.
  • Non-hazardous commodity broadens carrier options, speeding pickups during peak farm seasons.
