Assume the role of a firm trying to negotiate a lower transportation classification for a new product. The rating organization has proposed a classification based on similar products in the class rate system. You think the classification will result in rates that will be too high. Prepare a set of arguments designed to convince the rating board to give you a lower classification. In other words, identify the characteristics of your product and/or shipment that would make it easier and/or cheaper to transport when compared to the “average shipment” of similar products.
