TForce Freight and freight class
UPS LTL is handled by TForce Freight. Density determines the class on most general commodities, but the published NMFC item takes precedence where one applies.
TForce Freight — confirm the official NMFC item for your commodity before booking.

Frequently asked questions
Does UPS use the standard freight class scale?
Yes. TForce Freight rates density-based commodities on the same 18-step NMFC class scale shown here. The difference between carriers is service and pricing, not the density maths.
How do I find my UPS freight class?
Enter the shipment's weight and outer dimensions to get its density, then read the class. For commodities with a fixed NMFC item, confirm the official class with TForce Freight.
