How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 34725 and Class 65 on the BOL, describing “portable wooden dance floor sections in boxes with metal trim” to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
- Palletize boxes flat with no overhang; add corner/edge protectors around the metal trim rails, band securely, and wrap with stretch film plus a moisture top-sheet.
- Plan accessorials for venues: liftgate pickup/delivery, appointment, and limited-access for hotels or convention centers; e.g., a 12-panel kit may ship as three 48x40 pallets.
- Record accurate pallet dims and weight even though density doesn’t set the class; label carton count and section sizes for easier cross-dock handling and OS&D control.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Class 65 provides predictable, competitive LTL pricing versus higher-class wood fixtures.
- Clear NMFC mapping reduces reclass fees and disputes, streamlining billing and audits.
- Nonhazardous status speeds tendering and uses standard lanes without extra paperwork.
- Protected, boxed panels lower damage rates on metal trim and cut claims and replacements.
