How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm eligibility with Note 147182: ship the camp or tourist trailer as a boxed or crated kit; exclude loose accessories or any fuel cylinders.
- Choose robust crates or double-wall boxes with internal blocking and bracing; secure couplers, frames, and panels to prevent racking during LTL handling.
- Provide forklift-ready access (4-way pallet or skid under the crate), keep center of gravity low, and use edge protection on corners and drawbars.
- Print NMFC 147180 and Class 150 on the BOL; include exact piece count, dimensions, and weight for quoting even though the class is fixed.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing: fixed Class 150 avoids density reclass charges and keeps quotes consistent across carriers.
- Lower claim risk: boxed/crated requirement reduces abrasion on frames, jacks, and fittings, cutting OS&D and repair costs.
- Faster carrier acceptance: non-hazardous status and standard packaging streamline tendering and terminal handling.
- Broader network options: crated kits fit standard LTL lanes, often cheaper and quicker than specialized flatbed moves.
