How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Declare NMFC 160110 at Class 50 on the BOL, noting piece and bundle counts plus the longest length to avoid overlength surprises.
- Band uniform-length arms with two straps and edge protectors; place on 4x4 dunnage or a pallet to create safe forklift entry points.
- Keep ends flush with no overhang; stabilize slender stacks using blocking and stretch wrap for LTL terminal transfers.
- Mark bundle specs (e.g., 3x4x8 ft Douglas fir) so utility yards and field crews can stage and deploy materials quickly.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 50 rating removes density steps, speeding quotes and reducing reclass risk and billing disputes.
- Bundled, forklift-friendly units cut handling time and accessorials while lowering damage exposure for long, narrow pieces.
- Accurate length notation helps avoid overlength fees and capacity refusals, protecting project timelines and budgets.
- Non-hazardous wood commodity broadens carrier options and simplifies paperwork for rural and jobsite deliveries.
