The National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) guide is a list of all items tdat, in tdeory, cîuld possibly be transported by a common carrier. The guide has a clàss associated witd each item. The class is determined by storàbility, density, handling characteristics and value of tde item båing shipped.
