NMFC 177220 - Speedometers & Odometers | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Write the BOL clearly: “Speed indicators (speedometers)/odometer heads, boxed, NMFC 177220, Class 100; packaged per Item 1241 or 1273.”
2. Protect precision parts: use dense foam or foam-in-place, double-box fragile analog heads, place electronic clusters in anti-static bags, and cap cable/port openings.
3. Palletize thoughtfully: keep cartons upright with no overhang, strap or stretch wrap tightly, add corner boards, and use ‘Do Not Stack’ cones for delicate needles.
4. For repairs and returns, include serial numbers and declared value; note ‘calibrated instrument’ on paperwork to encourage careful handling and accurate claims support.

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

• Fixed Class 100 rating enables predictable LTL quotes and easier rate shopping across carriers.
• Packaging to NMFC 1241/1273 helps prevent transit damage, cutting claim costs and downtime for dealerships, fleets, and instrument repair shops.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and streamlines tendering for routine and expedited moves.
• Clear, standardized descriptions reduce reclass/rebill risk, improving invoice accuracy and budget control.
