How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Arrange refrigerated LTL service set 28–34°F and confirm a food‑grade trailer with recent washout documentation.
- Use leak‑resistant, poly‑lined boxes or sturdy food‑grade crates; seal seams, add absorbent pads, and mark Keep Refrigerated and Perishable.
- Palletize on 48x40 pallets; interlock stacks, avoid overhang, add corner boards, and wrap snugly while preserving airflow for cooling.
- On the BOL list NMFC 134820 Class 100, note piece counts by package type and requested temperature, and segregate from high‑odor or chemical freight.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
