The National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) system is a standardized method designed to give consumers a uniform pricing structure when transporting freight. There are 18 classes that a shipped package may fall under with class 50 being the least expensive, to class 500 as the most expensive. The number assigned to an item is important to freight carriers in determining the tariffs, which in turn determine the price charged to you. Online calculators are available with instructions on how to determine freight class so that everyone can easily understand the process
There are many different types of allowable packaging systems for freight including, but not limited to, pallets, drums, reels, crates, tubes, or bundles.
You will also need to specify to a shipper if the contents of the package you are shipping need a lift gate to load it onto a truck
