How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Bundle panels by height and width, band tightly with edge protectors, and place on a sturdy skid (e.g., 48×96 for 8 ft forms) to meet the bundles/skids requirement.
  2. List panel count, bundle count, and any pins/wedges shipped separately on the BOL; keep small hardware in a boxed, banded container on the same skid.
  3. Use 3 or more dunnage runners to create forklift clearance and keep fork entries available from two sides to reduce handling risk and speed loading.
  4. Protect exposed corners and faces with corrugated pads or wood caps to prevent aluminum abrasion; stretch-wrap to control loose ties or strongbacks.

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

Business Value

  • Item-specific NMFC simplifies quoting—no density calculation needed—reducing reclass disputes and accelerating LTL rate approvals.
  • Packaging as bundles or skids helps qualify for the lower end of the 70–92.5 class range, cutting per-hundredweight costs.
  • Standard skid footprints improve carrier acceptance, minimize handling charges, and lower damage claim risk for high-value form sets.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat fees, improving lane coverage for contractors and rental yards.
