Freight Class. If you are a shipper it would be very wise to know and understand this process. This is the single most important factor when determining LTL rates. It is also the single largest issue when a shipper is hit for overages on a shipment. Incorrect freight classes will get you into a lot of trouble.

Good advice, Mike. Just like with HTS codes don’t assume – verify.
