How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use Class 50 for NMFC 32500 concrete or cement posts—no density calculation is required for this listing.
- Bundle posts tightly with steel or heavy poly strapping over corner boards; cap ends to prevent chipping and strap the bundle to a solid pallet or skids.
- Call out exact length on the BOL; note any pieces over 96 in to avoid surprise overlength or linear‑foot surcharges.
- For LTL, secure bundles to pallets with multiple straps and edge protection; for flatbed, block and brace with 4x4 dunnage and protect contact points to prevent cracking.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 50 simplifies quoting and reduces rating disputes, accelerating spot bids and tenders.
- Eliminates density reweighs and reclass fees, lowering unexpected accessorial charges.
- Proper bundling and palletization reduce handling time and damage risk, improving claim ratios.
- Predictable costs help fence suppliers, utilities, and DOT contractors price projects accurately and win more bids.
