Classification Details

NMFC Description Class

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Print NMFC 178130 and Class 70 on the BOL, and describe it plainly as 'roadway sub-soil stabilizing agent, liquid, boxed' to avoid reclass delays.
  2. Pack HDPE or compatible inner containers inside lined, leak-resistant boxes; add absorbent pads or bags and seal seams to contain any seepage during cross-dock transfers.
  3. Keep cartons upright on a pallet with corner protection; avoid overstacking, and mark 'This Side Up' and 'Liquid' so handlers maintain orientation.
  4. Separate from alkalis and reactive cargo when possible, and for jobsite deliveries request liftgate or appointment service to match construction site access limits.

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

Business Value

  • Class 70 assignment provides predictable LTL pricing and reduces density disputes, helping you avoid costly reclass and inspection fees.
  • Non-hazardous listing eliminates hazmat surcharges and specialized paperwork, shortening tender time and improving carrier acceptance.
  • Boxed packaging improves stackability versus drums, often lowering handling costs and optimizing trailer cube for better freight rates.
  • Clear NMFC mapping speeds quotes and booking, supporting tight roadwork schedules and minimizing downtime for crews awaiting materials.
