How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm density before quoting: weigh the boxed shipment and divide by its cubic feet to get PCF, then apply Item 170 density breaks.
  2. Coil leashes and straps, bag them to prevent tangles, and use dividers or pads around buckles and clips to avoid abrasion.
  3. Cap prongs and D-rings, wrap metal hardware, and use strong corrugated boxes with H-taping to stop punctures or carton burst.
  4. List materials on the BOL (nylon, leather, webbing) and note “in boxes” to align with the NMFC packaging requirement.

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

Business Value

  • Lower freight spend by optimizing carton size and compression to raise PCF and achieve a more favorable density class.
  • Reduce reclass and inspection fees by packing strictly in boxes and documenting density per Item 170.
  • No hazmat handling needed, enabling broader carrier options and faster tender acceptance.
  • Predictable rating for pet and child-safety gear programs, supporting accurate bids and consistent LTL cost modeling.
