For most LTL/FTL carrier's it is imperative to accurately determine the National Motor Freight Classification of the items being shipped to avoid costly adjustments. Carriers use the NMFC freight classification as a common standard when setting shipping rates.

More information about LTL class and NMFC Codes can be found at: http://www.nmfta.org/Pages/welcome.aspx.

The Commodity Setup feature helps create and manage your important and frequesntly used NMFC codes for easy reference when routing shipments.
