Frequently Asked Questions
What is freight class?
Freight class is a standardized classification system (NMFC) used by LTL carriers to determine pricing. Classes range from 50 to 500, with lower classes typically being less expensive to ship.
How is freight class determined?
Freight class is based on density (weight per cubic foot), stowability, handling requirements, and liability. Density is the primary factor for most commodities.
What happens if I use the wrong freight class?
Carriers may re-weigh and re-classify shipments. Using an incorrect class can result in additional fees or billing adjustments. Accurate classification upfront avoids surprises.
