How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm the correct class within 92.5–100 from the two available listings and show NMFC Article 154590 on the BOL.
  2. Protect canopy fabric and lines: ship pre‑packed in deployment bags or neatly folded, then place in a double‑wall box with light void fill to avoid crushing.
  3. Pad metal buckles and 3‑rings so they cannot abrade the carton; tape seams securely so lines do not snag during handling.
  4. Mark cartons “Do Not Crush” and avoid tight banding; excessive compression creases nylon and raises the chance of a damage claim.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable mid‑range classes (92.5–100) help forecast LTL spend and reduce unexpected reclass fees.
  • Non‑hazardous status simplifies booking and avoids hazmat surcharges or carrier restrictions.
  • Box‑friendly packaging improves dock flow, which can lower special‑handling charges and transit delays.
  • Citing NMFC 154590 on paperwork strengthens claim defensibility and speeds broker/carrier tendering.
