How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Print NMFC 175340 and Class 70 on the BOL, and note packaging as boxes or wrapped rolls for fast carrier acceptance.
- Palletize heavy cartons tightly; use edge protectors, two or more steel/poly straps, and full stretch wrap to stop shifting.
- For wrapped rolls, ship on end with core plugs and chocks; use slip sheets between layers to prevent sticking or scuffing.
- Keep out of high heat to avoid asphalt softening; line cartons or pallet tops with poly film if product surfaces feel tacky.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 70 removes density debates, cutting reclass fees and invoice surprises.
- Non-hazardous status speeds scheduling and widens carrier options without hazmat surcharges.
- Clear packaging paths—boxes or wrapped rolls—simplify SOPs and reduce handling time on the dock.
- Tighter unitization reduces damage risk, lowering claims and reship costs for waterproofing projects.
