How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Choose packaging: heavy-duty boxes with interleaving sheets to prevent surfaces from sticking, or sturdy crates for long molding runs.
- Palletize boxes or crates flat with no overhang; add corner boards, a top cap, and 2–4 straps plus stretch wrap for compression resistance.
- Label clearly: Keep Flat and No Double Stack if bowing is a risk; avoid high-heat exposure that can soften asphalt composition in transit.
- Reference NMFC Note 182604 for boxed specs and blocking, and list counts on the BOL as asphalt composition tile/molding, NMFC 182510, Class 60.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable Class 60 rating helps control LTL costs versus bulkier surfacing goods.
- Box or crate packaging reduces special handling charges and fits both retail cartons and contractor-length trims.
- Correct packing minimizes stick-together, scuffing, and edge chips, cutting claims and replacement expenses.
- Fixed class streamlines quoting and audits with fewer reclass disputes and faster tenders.
