Changes in LTL freight classification: Important dates to remember.

The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) is seeking feedback from LTL shippers, carriers, and third-party logistics providers on proposed National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) changes scheduled for release this summer. A public feedback period will open on Thursday, ending February 25, with a meeting planned for March 3. The new classification system aims to simplify processes by shifting to a single density-based scale, which is expected to improve pricing accuracy and incentivize better packaging, potentially lowering rates for shippers with heavy, dense freight.
