Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
184415.00 Drivers, fence or sign post, tubular steel 65

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Band single drivers to a small skid or cartonize with double‑wall and foam blocks; cap both tube ends to prevent punctures.
  2. For multiple units, nest upright on a pallet with edge protectors, add anti-roll chocks, then steel- or poly-band in two directions.
  3. Mark the center of gravity and total weight—post drivers are top‑heavy and can tip if not blocked.
  4. Print the BOL with NMFC 184415, Class 65, and piece count; label each handling unit for quicker cross‑dock moves.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 65 delivers predictable LTL quotes for post driver shipments of varying sizes.
  • Non-hazardous tool classification speeds carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat fees or paperwork.
  • Correct NMFC on the BOL reduces reclass bills and inspection delays, protecting margins on tight project timelines.
  • Bundling drivers on a single pallet lowers handling unit counts, cutting risk of loss and minimizing accessorials.
