To simplify the classification of LTL freight, the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) is updating this process with a more efficient, streamlined approach. The go-live date is July 19, 2025. The new standardized process will be based on density (weight per cubic foot), handling, stow-ability, and liability. The density-based system simplifies commodity listings, and introduces unique identifiers for freight with special handling needs (for example, fragile or hazardous materials), aiming to improve accuracy and reduce confusion in freight classification for shippers and carriers alike. The list of commodities will be condensed and modernized making it easier to identify the correct classification for a shipment. Shippers will need to accurately measure the dimensions and weight of their freight to ensure proper classification based on density. There may be changes to freight rates for certain commodities.
