NMFC Freight Class Changes


NMFC Freight Classification Changes

Effective July 19th, 2025

The Freight Classification Development Council (FCDC) has published freight classification changes, effective July 19th, affecting freight shipped with OAKH starting July 21st. These changes are a major overhaul of freight classes, as many commodities are moving to a full-scale density model. Please take a few moments to review the disposition dockets to see how it may affect the commodities you ship.

These updates are issued by the FCDC, not Oak Harbor Freight Lines, to maintain freight classification provisions of the NMFC. We’re navigating these changes alongside you as we all learn to adapt to the new standards. The NMFC has provided a shipper walkthrough to help you with this transition and a handy search tool to see if your specific commodity has been impacted:

Thank you for your patience and partnership as we work through these changes together. If you have specific questions concerning your products and freight classifications, please contact your OAKH Account Manager.
