NMFC freight class 85 - standard rates.

  • Your shipment has a density of 12.50 lb/ft3, which places it in NMFC class 85.
  • Class 85 typically carries rates about 15% lower than class 100, the LTL benchmark.
  • Total volume: 40.000 ft3 at 500.0 lb total weight.

Next stepThis result uses the density method. Some NMFC item codes are classed by commodity type regardless of density. Confirm the final class with your carrier or broker, especially for regulated, hazardous, or high-value goods.
