Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
134085.00 Markers, road pavement, ceramic, with or without glass or plastic reflectors, in boxes 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use sturdy double‑wall boxes with internal dividers to prevent ceramic chipping; orient glass or plastic reflector faces away from the box walls.
  2. Add foam liners or molded trays so individual markers can’t move more than 1/4 inch; seal with reinforced tape and label “Ceramic – Handle With Care.”
  3. Palletize multiple boxes on a 48×40 pallet with no overhang; add corner boards and a top sheet, then stretch‑wrap and strap to stabilize through cross‑dock transfers.
  4. Book under NMFC 134085 at Class 70; no density calculation is required, but include total weight and pallet dimensions to secure accurate LTL rates.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable Class 70 rating streamlines quoting and contract negotiations across lanes and carriers.
  • Non-hazardous designation reduces compliance overhead and speeds tendering, pickups, and deliveries.
  • Boxed packaging matches the NMFC description, minimizing reclass risk and avoiding unexpected chargebacks.
  • Damage control for brittle ceramics—via dividers and strapping—cuts claims and protects road project timelines.
