a)The accuracy of the quote will depend on the information provided at the time of creating the Bill of Lading. This quote will be the basis for the initial invoice. All quotes are subject to change based on actual differences to weight, piece/pallet count, re-classification, shipping dimensions, commodity descriptions, address changes and all other charges that occur during transportation (re-delivery, appointment request, storage etc.). Further invoices will follow after the initial invoice to reflect any additional charges.
b) While density is the primary determinant in establishing the National Motor Freight Classification system, there are other factors such as value of the product, handling characteristics (storability on a trailer), claim susceptibility etc. The recommended NMFC class is NOT an absolute. The most effective way to determine an accurate class is to abide to the NMFC codes and their associated class for that particular commodity.
