How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm your product matches the NOI: glazed windows as sash only or sash with frames, with or without screens or necessary hardware. Note tempered or laminated glass on paperwork.
- Package upright on an A-frame crate or braced pallet. Add corner guards, foam, and corrugated interleave, then strap and stretch-wrap. Use tilt and shock indicators plus Do Not Stack cones.
- Measure exterior frame size and thickness after crating. Avoid pallet overhang and record total weight and piece count, including any boxed screens or bagged hardware.
- Plan delivery needs: request liftgate, residential or jobsite delivery, and appointment if required. Mark Keep Upright and No Top Load to guide terminal handling.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Accurate NOI use minimizes reclass fees and unexpected inspections, keeping LTL costs predictable.
- Impact-resistant packing (A-frames, bracing, indicators) reduces glass breakage and claim exposure.
- Right-sized crates and upright loading lower cubic penalties and oversize charges on fragile freight.
- Clear counts and accessorial planning cut delays, redelivery fees, and jobsite downtime.
