Classification

The backbone of LTL.
From the National Motor Freight Classification® (NMFC)™ to packaging guidance to expert interpretations, classification ensures that less-than-truckload (LTL) freight is identified, described, and handled with consistency industry wide.

Get Started

NMFC

The NMFC keeps LTL shipping consistent, fair, and efficient.

FCDC

The Freight Classification Development Council (FCDC) is an expert body that creates, maintains, and refines the classification provisions of the NMFC.

CRC

The Classification Resource Committee (CRC) shares insights, research, and recommendations that help shape the NMFC.

Digitalization

The freight ecosystem, upgraded.
NMFTA’s Digital Standards Development Council™ (DSDC)™ is building modern, interoperable identifiers and application programming interfaces (APIs) that help for-hire and private fleet motor carriers, shippers, tech vendors, and logistics partners speak the same digital language.
