How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Choose packaging by rigidity: single framed units can ship as packaged pieces with corner protection, while multi-unit sets or oversized frames should be crated to prevent twist and bow.
- Cover or cap any exposed woven wire to avoid snags on conveyors; use corrugated edge guards and stretch film so no wire ends protrude during hub transfers.
- Palletize flat with dunnage blocking to keep the frame from flexing in transit; apply at least three steel or poly bands through the frame and pallet stringers.
- Mark the BOL with NMFC 177750 and the selected subclass and note packaging type (crate or package) so carriers rate the shipment correctly within the 70–200 class range.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Accurate subclass selection within the 70–200 range prevents costly reclass charges and keeps LTL quotes aligned with carrier tariffs.
- Crating or reinforced packaging reduces frame distortion and wire damage, cutting claim risk and protecting delivery timelines for bedding and furniture builds.
- Efficient palletization improves cross-dock handling, reducing touches and potential accessorials tied to repack or rewrap at terminals.
- Clear commodity labeling (framed spring assemblies, with or without woven wire tops) speeds rate shopping and helps maintain stable freight rates across lanes.
