How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Name the commodity precisely on your BOL: “Cranberries, fresh (NMFC 77800)” and list packaging (vented cartons, RPCs, or bulk bins) plus pallet and case counts.
  2. Use ventilated produce cartons or RPCs with food‑grade liners; stack on 40×48 pallets with corner boards, no overhang, and keep small airflow gaps between rows.
  3. Maintain 35–40°F (1.5–4°C) and high humidity; choose reefer LTL in warm lanes and add temperature indicators to support quality and claim defense.
  4. During harvest peaks, book early and request appointments; limit vertical tiers per box spec and avoid top‑loading to prevent bruising.

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

Business Value

  • Reduce spoilage and bruising claims through ventilation, cube‑smart stacking, and cold‑chain control tailored to fresh cranberries.
  • Clear NMFC 77800 identification speeds quoting and helps avoid reclass fees or delays during carrier inspections.
  • Produce‑optimized packaging (RPCs, vented cartons) improves stackability and handling, lowering LTL cost per case and expediting cross‑dock moves.
  • Non‑hazardous status simplifies paperwork and broadens carrier options, improving capacity during peak harvest weeks.
