In logistics and freight management, staying ahead of regulation changes is not just beneficial—it’s essential for efficiency, accuracy, and profit margins. As the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) gears up to implement significant NMFC changes, moving towards a density-based classification for all carriers, 3PLs, and manufacturers by the first quarter of 2025, many in the industry are left wondering how to navigate these updates seamlessly and cost-effectively.
Fortunately, Cargo Spectre is here to partner with businesses of all sizes to make density measurements fast, accurate, and affordable.
