Freight Class
The National Motor Freight Classification is the number or category that carriers use to identify contents being shipped and their
corresponding rate. The Bill of Lading must accurately describe the contents of the shipment and what materials the contents are
composed of by displaying the NMFC number. An incorrect class may slow delivery or cause an increase in the rate of your shipment.
Please be sure to enter the ACTUAL freight classification of the commodity(s) being shipped.
Detailed information regarding freight classifications can be found in the National Motor Freight Classification publication, otherwise
known as the NMFC. This publication can be obtained by contacting the American Trucking Association at 1-800-ATA-LINE.
