LTL Freight Shipping Tips: Classifying Freight

Damage and loss claims in the world of LTL shipping can be a real headache and very time-consuming to logistics managers and coordinators alike.

There are several ways you can reduce the risks of both inbound and outbound shipping and help keep freight claims to a minimum. Here are some highlights to help reduce the possibility of dealing with a claim.

Ensure your product is packaged correctly and carefully palletized and shrink-wrapped.
Ensure all labels contain shipper and consignee contact details and the product description.
Find a trustworthy carrier with a proven track record and a customer service team that you can depend on for timely reporting and communication.

Freight Classification

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

All commodities fall into 1 of 18 classes between a low of 50 and 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 will be standing by to provide you with any assistance.
