NMFC 68045 - Wood Fence Pickets | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Bundle pickets tightly with steel or poly strapping and add edge protectors; cap or wrap pointed tips to prevent punctures into nearby freight.
2. Palletize bundled packages with dunnage and no overhang; flag lengths 6 ft or longer to avoid unexpected excess length fees.
3. Print the BOL with “NMFC 68045, Class 50 – Wood Fence Pickets (Packages)” and include piece count and total weight for quick cross-dock handling.
4. Use breathable covers or kraft wrap to limit rain exposure and warping; avoid trapping moisture around green lumber with full shrink wrap.

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

• Predictable, low-cost pricing thanks to a fixed Class 50 for dense wood pickets.
• Reduced reclass risks when the BOL cites NMFC 68045 and package form clearly.
• Faster quoting and routing with a single, non-hazmat classification across carriers.
• Lower damage and OS&D rates when bundles are secured and palletized for stable stacking.
