How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Arrange refrigerated LTL service set 28–34°F and confirm a food‑grade trailer with recent washout documentation.
  2. Use leak‑resistant, poly‑lined boxes or sturdy food‑grade crates; seal seams, add absorbent pads, and mark Keep Refrigerated and Perishable.
  3. Palletize on 48x40 pallets; interlock stacks, avoid overhang, add corner boards, and wrap snugly while preserving airflow for cooling.
  4. 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.
