NMFC 170140 - Glass fiber matting w/ asphalt | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and book under NMFC 170140 at Class 100; list the item as felted glass fiber matting with asphalt binder in packages for quick carrier acceptance.
2. Palletize packages tightly with stretch wrap and edge protectors; add slip sheets so the asphalt binder doesn’t mark pallet boards or adjacent freight.
3. Protect from heat and moisture—avoid hot trailers and direct sunlight; in summer lanes, request early pickups to reduce softening and sticking risk.
4. Label “Do Not Double-Stack” for fragile mat edges; use a top deck or cap board if stacking is unavoidable to prevent compression and delamination.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies rating, cutting reclass disputes and unexpected adjustments on non-density shipments.
• Non-hazardous designation removes hazmat fees and paperwork, accelerating tendering and dock processing.
• Packaging guidance reduces claims from edge crush and asphalt transfer, keeping project timelines and budgets intact.
• Clear NMFC identification streamlines audits and boosts carrier confidence, often yielding steadier LTL rates over time.
