NMFC 68028 - Wire Fencing in Rolls | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Provide a clear spec line: material (steel), coating (galvanized or PVC), gauge/mesh, roll width and outer diameter, roll count, and weight per roll. Example: “4 ft x 330 ft galvanized field fence, 12.5 ga, OD 20 in, 6 rolls, 95 lb each.”
2. Stabilize each roll with 3–4 steel or poly bands, add edge guards over sharp wire ends, and stretch-wrap to prevent spring-out. For multiple rolls, strap to a sturdy 4-way pallet or cradle to stop rolling.
3. Load with the roll axis horizontal, chock the cores, and interlayer with dunnage if double-stacking. Keep total pallet height within common LTL limits (aim under 84 in) to avoid oversize handling fees.
4. On paperwork, describe as “Wire fencing in rolls, coated or uncoated — Non-hazardous, Class N/A.” Include photos when possible and request rating under the fencing group for faster, accurate quotes.

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

• Reduced damage claims by controlling roll movement and guarding sharp edges, cutting repack costs and delivery delays.
• Fewer reclasses and accessorials by supplying exact roll dimensions, weights, and coating details when the class is not specified.
• Better cube efficiency by palletizing multiple rolls for stackable, forklift-friendly handling, lowering per-CWT freight rates.
• Quicker carrier responses thanks to a clear NMFC reference (68028) and non-hazardous status, improving quote speed and service selection.
