Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
190260.00 Coal, Concrete, Earthen, Ore or Stone Hauling or Dumping (low speed vehicles not suitable for general highway transportation), wheeled or crawler type, with open bodies 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm the equipment is an off-road, low-speed dumper with an open body (not a highway dump truck) to avoid misclassification and rebill.
  2. Specify wheeled or crawler type and whether it can roll under its own power; include overall dimensions and weight for the correct flatbed, step-deck, or RGN selection.
  3. Prepare the unit: empty all aggregate or concrete residue, secure the dump bed and tailgate, pin or lock hydraulics, and disconnect the battery for transit.
  4. Plan securement: identify rated tie-down points, request drive-on/winch service if needed, and protect exposed cylinders or controls from road debris.

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