How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Select packaging by length: use rigid corrugated boxes with end caps for shorter runs; for long pieces, follow Package 2109—tight, banded bundles on skids with edge protectors.
  2. Support the entire length. Place dunnage every 3–4 feet and avoid overhang beyond the pallet to prevent bowing or crush damage on 10–16 ft mouldings.
  3. Protect finishes and coated faces. Add slipsheets between profiles, wrap primed or painted pieces, and never strap directly over decorative surfaces.
  4. Document precisely on the BOL: “NMFC 38035 Moldings—boxes or PKG 2109; per Notes 38036/38037,” include piece/bundle counts, full dimensions, and note “Do Not Stack/Long Freight” when applicable.

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

Business Value

  • Correct NMFC usage with Notes 38036/38037 reduces reclass fees and surprise inspections, stabilizing your LTL rates.
  • Package 2109 or boxed protection cuts claim risk on long, fragile profiles, lowering damage costs and warranty replacements.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and streamlines scheduling, accelerating pickups during peak construction seasons.
  • Consistent packing and clear labeling improve dock throughput for millwork shops and lumberyards, trimming handling time and accessorials like over-length surcharges.
