How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Reference NMFC 91890 and Class 60 on the BOL and shipment labels to prevent density checks or reclass fees.
  2. Pack boards flat in boxes or crates; if bundling, use fiberboard edge protectors at least 0.100 inch thick and apply straps snugly without crushing edges.
  3. Palletize with full-length skids or solid-deck pallets to support the sheet length; avoid overhang and add corner/edge guards and moisture barriers.
  4. For long pieces (10–12 ft), pre-advise the carrier and choose terminals equipped for over-length handling to minimize accessorials and damage risk.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable LTL pricing at fixed Class 60, eliminating density calculations and speeding up quotes.
  • Lower claim rates by following edge protection and rigid packing guidance, reducing total landed cost.
  • Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and simplifies tendering for faster turns.
  • Efficient bundling and full-length pallets improve cube use and handling speed, cutting extra fees.
