#### Same dock error. Two very different bills.

# The LTL reclass fee problem

### Who actually pays, and why

A research report on LTL reclassification fees: who absorbs them, why the density rules made them more expensive, and what reduces the exposure today.

**What's inside:**

### How the 2025 density reform changed where reclass fees start.

### Why large shippers rarely pay them and mid-market shippers pay in full.

### The regulatory gap: why no agency reviews a reclassification.

### Six verticals, six different ways the exposure shows up.

### Why reclass fees and denied claims share one root cause.
