Understanding LTL Freight Class
Freight class is an industry-standard pricing structure defined by the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC). It is calculated based on four primary factors: density, stowability, handling, and liability.
Tip: Proper classification is vital. Incorrectly classed freight leads to inspection fees and billing adjustments. Sky Vision helps you get it right the first time.
Classes range from 50 to 500. Lower classes typically represent dense, durable freight (like steel or bricks), while higher classes represent light, fragile, or bulky items (like ping-pong balls or fine electronics).
| Class | Weight per Cubic Ft. | Typical Cargo |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | Over 50 lbs | Steel Bolts, Heavy Parts |
| 100 | 9 - 10.5 lbs | Car Covers, Boat Parts |
| 250 | 3 - 4 lbs | Bamboo Furniture, Flat TVs |
| 500 | Less than 1 lb | Bags of Ping Pong Balls |
