How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- State the full description on the BOL: “Mold Developer (Liquid Corn Solubles), in drums – NMFC 137670 – Class 65” to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
- Palletize drums upright with bungs at 12 o’clock; typically four 55-gallon drums per 48x40 pallet, band tightly and stretch wrap with corner boards for stability.
- Check drum lids, rings, and gaskets for tightness; add absorbent pads or a spill tray liner when required by the carrier, especially on longer lanes.
- Avoid temperature extremes that can thicken or ferment contents; request Protect From Freeze in winter and note any temperature guidance for food or fermentation facilities.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 65 delivers predictable LTL rating and helps avoid density disputes, reducing surprise reclass charges.
- Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat fees and complex paperwork, expanding carrier options and lowering handling costs.
- Drum packaging loads efficiently (3–4 per pallet) and ships securely, cutting claim risk and improving delivery reliability for processors and ag suppliers.
- Accurate NMFC and item wording speeds quoting and TMS automation, shortening tender-to-pickup time on recurring lanes.
