NMFC Description Class
190190.00 Freight, NOI, including Tractors (Driving Trucks for Freight Vehicles or Fire Apparatus) 150

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. State NMFC 190190 and Class 150 on the BOL, and list the VIN plus whether the tractor or driving truck is running, winch-load, or inoperable.
  2. Prep the unit: reduce fuel to about a quarter tank, disconnect batteries per carrier policy, cap lines, cover exhaust stacks, and remove loose accessories or tools.
  3. Plan securement like a vehicle: four-point tie-down with properly rated chains/straps, wheel chocks, and frame blocking if skidded or partially crated.
  4. Match equipment to the unit: step-deck with ramps or RGN for tall or inoperable tractors; if moving via LTL, confirm roll-on capability and provide exact dims and weight to avoid reweigh or cubic issues.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable rating with fixed Class 150 eliminates density disputes and costly reclass fees.
  • Single NOI code covers truck tractors and fire apparatus driving trucks, speeding up quoting and tendering.
  • Non-hazardous status reduces documentation and lowers the chance of hazmat-related surcharges or delays.
  • Proper vehicle-style securement and prep minimize damage claims and accessorials (clean-ups, extra handling), improving total landed cost.
