Introduction
Getting your freight class wrong doesn’t just affect pricing, it leads to delays, disputes, and denied claims. At Shippulse, our Freight Classification Services are designed to help shippers accurately assign NMFC codes, avoid reclass fees, and improve carrier relationships. We review your commodity characteristics, density, handling, stowability, and liability, to determine the most optimized freight classification for each product. With a focus on compliance and accuracy, we guide you through the complex NMFC freight class review process and support you with documentation for carrier validation. The result? Fewer surprises on your invoice, fewer disputes with carriers, and more control over your transportation spend through cost-saving class adjustments.
