Get ready for freight classification changes

Freight classification changes
This year, the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) will modernize its freight classification system. Commodities categorized by density (weight and volume) could see the most significant changes, as the NMFTA aims to standardize classifications and improve pricing accuracy through a broader class system. The intent of these changes will be to eliminate ambiguity between National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) and class as well as transition to a 13-tier density-to-class table.
With upcoming changes to freight classifications, review the characteristics of impacted goods. Adjust pricing strategies accordingly, particularly for programs using freight all kind (FAK) exemptions.
