How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- On your BOL, state “Forms/Molds—Fuel or Oil Tank—Packaged, NMFC 75920, Class 150” to prevent reclass and ensure correct rating.
- Use rigid wooden crates or custom skids with foam-in-place, edge guards, and surface film to protect precision mold faces from gouges and contamination.
- Block and brace the mold to avoid point loads; add no‑stack cones and shock indicators for long or thin forms that can warp under pressure.
- When quoting, provide exact outer crate dimensions, total weight, and note Non‑Haz; watch for carrier length fees if any side exceeds 96 inches.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable Class 150 billing reduces reclass fees and disputes, streamlining cash flow for toolmakers and tank OEMs.
- Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and limited-carrier networks, widening options and lowering total landed cost.
- Proper packaged classification supports faster claims resolution and fewer damages, keeping production schedules on track.
- Optimized crating and bracing minimize cubic penalties and accessorials like re-delivery or liftgate, protecting margins on LTL moves.
