How Freight Class Codes Affect On The Quote Prices
As I mentioned before as low the freight class codes are the lower the shipping price is. The freight class codes are notated in the BL (Bill of Lading) to make sure that the transported items are correctly classified. In the Bill of Lading, each item that is shipped has NMFC code (freight class codes) and those items are gathered in the NMFC database.

The thing is that every piece/item no matter how big or small it is, it needs to contain Freight Class Codes. Depending on those codes the consumer will be charged. When I am at the classification I must mention that the goods are divided into two categories:
- Goods/Items that are classed on their density and
- Goods/Items that are not based on their density

For example, the goods that are density based, they don’t have one permanent class and the freight density will determine the class of the freight. If the freight is machinery that the class will be determined by the amount of freight and the density will vary on the total weight, the number of pallets or on the dimensions.
