How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 133130 and Class 70 on the BOL to prevent density questions and reclassification during audits.
  2. Palletize or crate wheels; run bands through the bore, add blocking and edge protectors, and cover faces to prevent marring.
  3. Keep the center of gravity low by laying wheels flat on dunnage; chock to stop rolling and use anti-slip mats under bands.
  4. Tell the carrier these are iron/steel machinery components and confirm forklift tine clearance for larger diameters.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 simplifies quoting and avoids reweigh/reclass fees tied to density, reducing surprise costs.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier acceptance and removes hazmat surcharges for cleaner rate structures.
  • Simple classification lets you choose economical skids or crates without affecting freight class, lowering packaging spend.
  • Predictable rating supports consolidation with other machinery freight, improving trailer utilization and per-unit costs.
