NMFC 134890 - Venison Carcasses or Parts | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Book refrigerated LTL service and set temps: 28–34°F for fresh, 0°F or below for frozen. Note the setpoint on the BOL and request continuous run.
2. Contain drip and odor: use food‑grade liners, absorbent pads, and leak‑proof wrap. Palletize securely so carcass parts do not overhang or rub other freight.
3. Label clearly: “Venison Carcasses or Parts — NMFC 134890, Class 100,” plus “Keep Refrigerated” and “This Side Up.” Add do‑not‑stack cones for protection.
4. Plan appointments at cold docks and include accessorials (reefer service, appointment delivery, limited access if applicable). Record actual gross weight, including ice and packaging.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting and budgeting, delivering predictable LTL costs without density disputes.
• Accurate NMFC usage reduces reclass and reweigh fees, cutting administrative back‑and‑forth and claim exposure.
• Clear temperature and packaging standards improve carrier acceptance and on‑time performance across the cold chain.
• Leak‑proof containment minimizes contamination risk and cleanup charges, lowering OS&D claims and spoilage losses.
