NMFC 154930 - Frac Propping Pellets in Bags | Class 55

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State 'alumina/glass proppant pellets, in bags—NMFC 154930, Class 55' on the BOL to prevent reclass and speed tender acceptance.
2. Palletize bagged product on 48x40 heat-treated pallets; keep bags flush with the deck, add top caps, corner boards, and stretch wrap.
3. For heavier moves, use super sacks on pallets or cradled in a van; block and brace to prevent shift, and avoid stacking beyond bag specs.
4. Keep loads dry from yard to dock; use slip sheets or moisture barriers when staging outdoors or shipping from well sites.

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

• Fixed Class 55 rating improves LTL cost per ton and simplifies forecasting.
• Non-hazardous designation eliminates hazmat surcharges and broadens carrier availability on oilfield lanes.
• Bagged-packaging expectation reduces damage claims from burst bags and minimizes reclass risk.
• Clear NMFC reference (154930) on paperwork accelerates quoting and helps lock in consistent rates.
