Big changes are coming to LTL shipping in July 2025. The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) is introducing a new classification system designed to “simplify” and “improve” pricing accuracy. But while these updates may streamline how carriers rate shipments, they could also lead to higher costs for LTL shippers who aren’t prepared.
What’s Changing?
Under the new system, density will play an even bigger role in determining LTL freight rates. This means:
? Higher-density shipments may see cost reductions
? Lower-density shipments could face rate hikes
? Proper packaging and classification will be more important than ever
How Shippers Can Prepare
To avoid unexpected cost increases, businesses should:
? Evaluate their freight classifications under the new system
? Optimize packaging to improve shipment density
? Invest in training and technology to ensure compliance and cost efficiency
Take Action Now!
The July 2025 deadline may seem far off, but early preparation is key to avoiding increased LTL costs. ICC Logistics can help businesses analyze their shipping data, adjust classifications, and develop cost-saving strategies before the changes take effect.?
