什么是貨運等級？

What is Freight Class?

The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) defines a class as a way “to establish a commodity’s transportability.”美國國家汽車貨運交通協會 (NMFTA) 將類別定義為“建立商品可運輸性”的一種方式。

The National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) is the standard which enforces this system, grouping commodities into one of 18 classes – ranging from 50 to 500. 國家汽車貨運分類 (NMFC) 是執行該系統的標準，將商品分為 18 個類別之一 - 從 50 到 500。

The NMFC determines this class using four characteristics: Density, Stowability, Handling and Liability.NMFC 使用四個特征確定該類別：密度、可存放性、處理和責任。

Density: An item’s density is determined by its weight and dimensions. Check out our freight density calculator to determine your item’s density in pounds per cubic foot. 密度：物品的密度由其重量和尺寸決定。查看貨運密度計算器，以確定您的物品的密度（以磅/立方英尺為單位）.

The higher the density, the lower the class and ultimately, the lower the cost.
密度越高，等級越低，最終成本越低。

This may seem backward at first glance, but consider this: carriers love shipping freight that is heavy and doesn’t take up much space compared to its weight. 乍一看，這似乎有點落后，但請考慮一下：承運人喜歡運輸較重且與其重量相比占用空間不大的貨物。

This means they can fit more product on their truck, which means more cash in their wallets.這意味著他們可以在他們的卡車上裝更多的產品，這意味著他們的錢包里有更多的現金。

Stowability: Stowability means how the shipment can be arranged with other freight in the transport vehicle. 可存放性： 可存放性是指如何將貨物與運輸車輛中的其他貨物一起安排。

A good rule of thumb is to think of it as an item’s ability to be “stowed” or transported in relation to other items.一個好的經驗法則是將其視為與其他物品相關的物品“存放”或運輸的能力。

This takes into account hazardous shipments (which cannot be moved with non-hazardous shipments) or items with strange dimensions that make it difficult to load freight around them.這考慮了危險貨物（不能與非危險貨物一起移動）或尺寸奇怪的物品，這些物品難以在其周圍裝載貨物。

Handling: Handling concerns the item’s ability to be handled as the freight is loaded and unloaded from LTL terminal to LTL terminal.處理：處理涉及貨物從LTL 碼頭裝卸到 LTL 碼頭時的處理能力。

Dimensions, fragility and packaging play a role in how difficult an item is to handle.尺寸、易碎性和包裝在一件物品的搬運難度中起著重要作用。

Liability: Liability takes into account the probability of the shipment being damaged or stolen, or damaging other adjacent freight – as well as the perishability or possibility of freight theft of the item.責任：責任考慮到貨物被損壞或被盜或損壞其他相鄰貨物的可能性，以及物品的易腐性或貨物被盜的可能性。

貨運等級如何影響報價

How Freight Class Affects Quote Prices

This part is simple — the lower your class, the lower the price. An item that is a class 50 will be cheaper to ship than an item that is class 500.這部分很簡單——你的班級越低，價格就越低。50 類物品的運輸成本將比 500 類物品便宜。

Different commodities have a different combination of these four factors and this NMFC codes list divides them into 18 classes numbered from 50 to 500.不同的商品對這四個因素有不同的組合，這份 NMFC 代碼列表將它們分為 18 個類別，編號從 50 到 500。

In the table below you will see samples of goods that are usually found in each class.在下表中，您將看到通常在每個類別中找到的商品樣本。
