The National Motor Freight Traffic Association publishes the National Motor Freight Classification® (NMFC®), a standard that provides a comparison of commodities moving in commerce.
The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) allocates a specific number to every commodity that could be shipped. The freight class on the bill of lading is determined based on the NMFC commodity number. It’s always a good idea to include the NMFC number on the bill of lading to avoid the carrier from reclassification your shipment to a higher freight class.
The National Motor Freight Traffic Association is a nonprofit membership organization headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia. Its members are motor carriers operating in interstate, intrastate and foreign commerce. Rapid Express Freight is proud to be a NMFTA member.
