Introduction of the New System
The National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. (NMFTA) has announced a major overhaul of its freight classification system, scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. This shift from the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) to a more streamlined, density-based classification system is a significant change for the logistics and freight industry.
The Benefits of Early Adoption
Cargo Spectre, a leader in automated dimensioning systems, is proactively assisting carriers in transitioning to the new system ahead of the 2025 deadline. The change is not only about regulatory compliance but is aimed at creating a fairer, more accurate freight pricing system that benefits both carriers and shippers. Cargo Spectre’s advanced dimensioning solutions are already providing carriers with tools to optimize their operations.
“Early adoption of the density-based classification system enables carriers to fine-tune their operations in advance, leading to optimized space utilization, precise pricing, and reduced disputes with shippers,” said Jason Joachim, CEO of Cargo Spectre.
Advantages of Dimensioning Systems
Cargo Spectre’s dimensioning technology is a key player in the upcoming density-based system. Their systems offer precise measurements of cargo dimensions, essential for calculating freight class under the new classification. This allows carriers to optimize space utilization, improve operational efficiency, and eliminate billing disputes with shippers.
