How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Declare NMFC 160110 at Class 50 on the BOL, noting piece and bundle counts plus the longest length to avoid overlength surprises.
  2. Band uniform-length arms with two straps and edge protectors; place on 4x4 dunnage or a pallet to create safe forklift entry points.
  3. Keep ends flush with no overhang; stabilize slender stacks using blocking and stretch wrap for LTL terminal transfers.
  4. 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.
