How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use NMFC 134760 on the BOL for packaged rabbit meat and set Class 77.5; no density calculation is required.
- Pack to prevent leaks: seal inner bags, use sturdy outer packages, and apply absorbent liners where appropriate to protect other freight.
- Palletize securely with tight stretch wrap and corner boards; keep footprint to standard 48x40 and label food product to avoid odor or taint issues.
- If shipping chilled or frozen, request temperature-controlled service and avoid long dwell times; aim for midweek pickups to reduce weekend layovers.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing from a fixed Class 77.5 reduces reclass disputes and surprise charges.
- Faster quoting and booking since there’s one clear NMFC code and no density breakpoints.
- Lower claims risk through leak-resistant packaging and proper palletization, preserving product value.
- Better carrier acceptance within the Meats group, enabling access to lanes suited for perishable foodstuffs.
