How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Verify the item fits “Boards, fire control, NOI” (metal or wood plotting/aiming boards) and package only in a box or crate to align with the NMFC entry.
- Choose packaging by size and fragility: double‑wall box with rigid corner guards for small plates, or a wood crate with internal blocking for large or heavy boards.
- Protect finishes from moisture and corrosion: poly wrap with desiccant for wood, VCI paper or film for metal surfaces, then label “Do Not Stack” if the board could warp.
- Print the BOL with “NMFC 145760, Class 125, Boards—Fire Control, NOI” and list the count (e.g., 1 crate). Strap boxed units to a pallet for safer LTL handling.
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 125—no density calculations, fewer audit surprises, and faster rate benchmarking across carriers.
- Reduced damage risk when boxed or crated with proper blocking, cutting claim costs and preventing mission delays for defense or museum shipments.
- Cleaner compliance and documentation: clear NMFC line on the BOL minimizes reclass fees and supports chain‑of‑custody requirements.
- Quicker quoting and scheduling across multiple lanes; standardized packaging streamlines repeat shipments and improves freight budget control.
