Episode 52 of Banyan Technology's Tire Tracks® podcast features Keith Peterson, Director of Operations at the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) , and Teresa Waldron, Director of Client Experience at Banyan Technology, as they break down one of the most significant updates in freight: the upcoming NMFC classification changes going into effect July 19.

Learn how the shift toward density-based freight classes will impact Shippers and 3PLs, and why now is the time to revisit packaging, shipment profiles, and product catalogs. Keith and Teresa discuss how palletization, improved dimensions and technology solutions will play a critical role in adjusting to the new standards. 

If you're managing LTL shipping, this episode is a must-listen for understanding how to prepare for the NMFC classification overhaul.
