Still have Questions?
Our freight specialists are available to help
What is freight class/NMFC?
Freight class, also known as NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification), is a categorization system used in the shipping industry to price and classify shipments within, to, or from the United States. It’s calculated based on various factors such as ease of handling, value, weight, dimensions (length, height), density, and the risk of liability. If you’re uncertain about determining your shipment’s freight class, you’re encouraged to reach out to op@uucargo.ca for guidance and support.
What is BOL?
A Bill of Lading (BOL) is the document issued by the carrier to the shipper of goods.
This document is essential for exporters to get paid and importers to get their merchandise.
Should something happen to your cargo, a BOL is required for compensation in the event of any damage, delay, or loss.
The BOL provides a tracking number to track your freight and includes international shipping details.
How is LTL pricing calculated?
LTL pricing is generally based on:
Weight and dimensions of the shipment
Distance between the origin and destination
Freight class (type of goods, value, and handling requirements)
Additional services such as liftgate, residential delivery, or insurance
UUCargo provides a quote after you enter shipment details in your account or contact customer support.
What size or weight qualifies as LTL freight?
LTL shipments are generally too large for parcel shipping but do not require a full truck.
Do you offer palletizing or shrink-wrapping services?
Palletizing and shrink-wrapping services are available in some cities and require an additional fee.
Please check your UUCargo account or contact customer support at (604) 998-1888 / info@uucargo.ca for availability and pricing.
Can I ship hazardous materials via LTL with UUCargo?
