Freight All Kinds (FAK) is a pricing agreement that allows different NMFC freight classes and SKUs to be billed under a single freight rate. Forsla applies this FAK-based pricing model to simplify the shipping and invoicing process for varied SKUs. By grouping items of multiple classifications under one FAK structure, we help businesses eliminate classification guesswork and maintain consistency in LTL billing.

FAK agreements negotiated by Forsla reduce the administrative burden on shippers by removing the need to manage separate rates for each type of cargo. These agreements provide predictable FAK freight rates with LTL carriers, streamline the entire LTL process, and ensure that shippers get the best possible rates. FAK also simplifies claims management and improves carrier relationships by promoting consistency in classification.

We also offer load-to-ride freight pricing models for PTL to minimize handling and optimize value.

Forsla specializes in combining several NMFC codes into a unified FAK structure. We audit your product catalog, identify freight classification overlaps, and manage NMFC mapping to build accurate shipment profiles. By using a transportation management system and aligning shipments with actual cargo movement, we ensure that each shipment — even those containing mixed freight pallets — qualifies for a simplified, consistent FAK rate.

Yes. Forsla’s FAK programs group multiple NMFC-classified commodities into a negotiated FAK rate, helping clients avoid reclassification penalties and reduce cost per hundred weight. Since the NMFTA assigns higher freight classes to more difficult-to-move products, our FAK solutions allow for more favorable average rates even with higher-class shipments. This results in substantial freight savings and better margin control across your logistics operations.

FAK shipping terms are ideal for e-commerce businesses, industrial distributors, manufacturers, and multi-category retailers who need to efficiently transport multiple products under different classifications. Businesses that regularly ship mixed freight pallets — especially those involving several NMFC codes — benefit from reduced shipping costs, simpler freight management, and a more scalable freight carrier strategy. Forsla’s FAK solutions integrate seamlessly with your transportation management system to improve the entire LTL process.

FAK freight rates allow for the consolidation of freight classes under a single pricing tier, enabling shippers to manage rate expectations and budget with more accuracy. This model supports shipment bundling, reduces disputes, simplifies the invoicing process, and aligns contracts with real shipping behaviors. As a result, FAK enhances operational efficiency and supports long-term logistics planning.

Freight All Kinds (FAK) focuses on grouping multiple freight classes under a single rate for LTL or FTL shipments. Freight All-In, on the other hand, refers to an all-inclusive rate that typically covers freight, fuel, accessorials, and handling. While related, Forsla treats these as distinct strategies — and can help businesses design both models where needed. For FAK, the focus is on averaged freight classification and NMFC simplification; for All-In, it’s on bundling full cost components like ocean freight into a single rate.
