National Motor Freight Classification goes online
The National Motor Freight Traffic Association Inc. (NMFTA) (www.nmfta.org) has released ClassIT, an online version of the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC). The NMFC is used to classify all the commodities shipped and handled by motor freight carriers in North America.
The NMFC facilitates comparisons of the transportability of commodities moving in intrastate, interstate and foreign commerce. Commodities are assigned one of 18 classes — from a low of 50 to a high of 500 — based on four transportation characteristics: density, stowability, handling and liability.
