Amid a period of supply chain disruption, the recent change to the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) to a density-pricing structure for Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipments is the most significant LTL change of the past 40 years. In this presentation of the IHA Webinar Series, Dave Bush and Ian Woie of freight and logistics service provider J.B. Hunt Transport will examine why carriers made the change and how it will impact home and housewares suppliers and retailers.
Bush and Woie will share examples of products impacted by the change and how companies can prevent increased shipping costs by learning how to calculate shipment density, documenting weights and measurements of outbound shipments on the bill of lading before they are picked up, and cataloging dimensions and weights of each product as it is packaged.
