Three WAYS TO SAVE by knowing your nmfc numbers

 

NMFC updates happen every quarter and are crucial for all shippers to be aware of, as it directly impacts your freight spend and your pricing. Stay up to date on the latest NMFC changes and you'll save in more ways than one!

1. save money

 

Make sure you are aware of any changes in the class of your freight prior to it being sent out. Rate quotes are offered based on the accuracy of the information provided, so if your freight is shipped under the wrong class, it will likely be re-weighed and the class will be adjusted, thus changing the price that you were originally quoted. 

2. SAVE TIME

Stay up to date on NMFC changes so you can proactively change the NMFC number in your TMS or on any other pre-populated shipping documents. By being aware of the changes ahead of time, there will be no extra time spent reweighing your pallets, calling carriers to find out why your costs increased or editing documents.

3. SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE

Nobody likes doing extra work. By knowing your freight information ahead of time, your freight is more likely to arrive on time.
