NMFC 190100 - Motor Vehicles Note 190124 | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference Note item 190124 on your BOL and quote, and document vehicle type, condition, and whether it is drivable or non-running with photos.
2. Choose the right handling: roll-on with wheel chocks and four-point tie-downs, or crate/ skid the vehicle with blocking and bracing to immobilize axles.
3. Prepare the unit per carrier policy: drain fuel to compliant levels, cap lines, disconnect and secure the battery, and fold/remove mirrors and racks to reduce width.
4. Measure and declare overall dimensions and weight including add-ons (roof racks, winches) and confirm the final class with the carrier per Note 190124 to avoid reclass.

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

• Using the note-based rule prevents misclassification, reducing reclass fees and surprise invoice adjustments.
• Selecting roll-on vs crated handling based on the vehicle’s condition minimizes damage risk and claim costs.
• Clear documentation (photos, VIN, condition, drivable status) tightens rate accuracy and speeds carrier approvals.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines compliance, allowing faster tendering and fewer accessorial delays.
