Find a trustworthy carrier with a proven track record and a customer service team that you can depend on for timely reporting and communication.

Classifying Freight

LTL motor freight rates are based on the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) standard, differing from the way other freight transportation costs are calculated.

All commodities fall into 1 of 18 classes between a low of 50 to a high of 500.

NMFC classes are based on four transportation characteristics:

Density
Stowability
Handling
Liability

Classifying LTL freight incorrectly can be costly. If you are unsure how to classify your freight our experienced specialists are standing by to provide you with any assistance you might need.
