## Attention LTL Shippers,

The National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) has been updated with changes impacting LTL shippers. Changes are classified under Supplement 4 and will go into effect on December 29, 2018.

You can review the entire updated NMFC [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/19iyM4lvaAY_ATpnLntzrRo6-GZbrubdI/view?usp=sharing), but for your convenience, we've listed the changes that are likeliest to affect most LTL shippers below:

## Subject 1: Boot Group - Item 28160. Changing to a two-tier density break.

- Sub 1: Less than 6 PCF= Class 200
- Sub 2: 6 PCF or greater= Class 125

## Subject 2: Machinery - Item 123550. Changing to a three-tier density break.

- Sub 1: Less than 6 PCF= Class 250
- Sub 2: 6 PCF but less than 10 PCF= Class 150
- Sub 3: 10 PCF or greater= Class 92.5

## Subject 8: Electrical Equipment - Item 61900= Cancelled. Item 61910 created to include exhaust and ventilating fans with a two-tier density break.

- Sub 1: Less than 6 PCF= Class 200
- Sub 2: 6 PCF or greater= Class 110

The [misclassification of freight](http://evanstrans.com/classify-freight-cant-afford-get-wrong/) is one of the most common ways shippers waste money on transportation. Understand NMFC to minimize loss.<http://evanstrans.com/ezquote/>
