Freight Classification
Get the Class Right. Protect Your Rate.
LTL pricing depends on NMFC freight class — a classification system from 50 to 500 based on four factors: density, stowability, handling, and liability. The class you ship under directly determines your base rate.
Misclassification is the leading cause of surprise invoices in LTL. Carriers reweigh and inspect freight at terminals. If they determine a different class applies, the bill changes — after the shipment has already moved.
B&P classifies freight correctly upfront using density calculations and NMFC codes. The rate we quote reflects the rate you pay — no surprises at invoice time.

LTL Freight FAQ
Questions Shippers Ask About LTL.
Q. What is LTL freight shipping?
LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping is for freight that doesn't fill an entire trailer — typically 1 to 6 pallets or 150 to 15,000 pounds. Multiple shippers' freight shares the same truck, so you only pay for the space you use.
Q. How is LTL freight priced?
LTL pricing is based on freight class (NMFC), weight, dimensions, origin and destination, and any accessorials like liftgate or residential delivery. Getting the freight class right is critical to an accurate rate.
Q. What is a freight class and why does it matter?
Freight class is an NMFC classification from 50 to 500 based on density, stowability, handling, and liability. It directly determines your LTL rate. Misclassification is the leading cause of unexpected reclassification fees on LTL invoices.
Q. What are LTL accessorials?
Accessorials are additional services beyond standard dock-to-dock pickup and delivery — liftgate, residential delivery, inside delivery, limited access, and appointment scheduling. B&P quotes all applicable accessorials upfront to avoid surprise charges.
Q. What is the difference between LTL and partial truckload?
LTL freight shares a trailer with other shipments and is handled at terminals along the way. Partial truckload (PTL) keeps your freight on one truck for larger shipments (typically 6 to 18 pallets), reducing handling and often lowering cost per pound.
Q. Does B&P Logistics ship LTL nationwide?
Yes. B&P Logistics coordinates LTL freight across the United States and Canada from our Las Vegas base, with carrier relationships covering every major lane.
Q. How long does LTL freight take to deliver?
LTL transit times typically range from 1 to 7 business days depending on distance and lane. Freight moves through regional terminals for consolidation, so LTL takes longer than direct truckload. Expedited and guaranteed LTL options are available for time-sensitive shipments.
Q. How can I avoid surprise LTL charges?
Most surprise LTL charges come from incorrect freight class, inaccurate weights or dimensions, or unquoted accessorials like liftgate or residential delivery. B&P classifies freight correctly upfront, calculates density accurately, and quotes every accessorial before pickup so the rate you're quoted is the rate you pay.
