Note 1 Subject to a minimum fuel adjustment charge of $2.00 per shipment when the DOE Diesel Fuel Price Index is at least 115 cents per gallon.
Note 2 The term “line haul charges” referred to herein applies to all charges other than accessorial charges.
Note 3 All shipments will be subject to a fuel surcharge based on a weekly fuel price report. The report shall be the Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Average Diesel Fuel Price, after 4:00 PM on Monday of each week. Said report may be received direct from the DOE by calling (202) 586-6966 each Monday afternoon. If Monday falls on a Holiday, the index for the next business day that is not a Holiday will be used to determine the applicable fuel surcharges. The DOE website is www.eia.gov. The surcharge for each week (Monday through Sunday) will be based on Monday’s DOE price of the previous week.
Note 4 For each one cent ($ .01) increase over
500 cents in the DOE Diesel Fuel Price, the fuel surcharge will increase by an additional 0.1% on LTL, Volume or Truckload shipments. For each one cent ($ .01) decrease below 200 cents in the DOE Diesel Fuel Price, the fuel surcharge will decrease by 0.1% on LTL, Volume or Truckload shipments. When the DOE Diesel Fuel Price falls below 115 cents, the fuel surcharge will not apply.
Note 5 Urgent shipments (as defined in Item 822) moving “out-of-network” shall be subject to fuel surcharge in accordance with the amounts charged to Carrier by its agent, partner carrier, other mode of transportation, or sub-contractor, unless the fuel surcharge has been previously negotiated on Urgent “out-of-network” shipments between the parties in tariffs, contracts, or other agreed upon pricing provisions.

CARRIER LIABILITY
NOTES
Note 1 Additional liability coverage above the maximum Carrier liability limits shown herein is available in accordance with Item 166-1 (not applicable with Section 8).
Note 2 In no case shall Carrier’s liability for new items exceed $100,000.00 per shipment unless Excess Declared Value Coverage is requested and the additional charges are paid.
Note 3 Shipments of commodities or articles that have an invoice value exceeding the maximum liability limits outlined above will be considered shipments of "extraordinary value," and will not be accepted except under the conditions and charges as provided in Item 166-1 "Excess Declared Value Coverage." Moreover, if inadvertently accepted, such shipments will be considered released at a value not to exceed the maximum liability limitations provided herein.
Note 4 Where the term "per package" is used, it shall mean the smallest identifiable unit authorized by the provisions of the individual tariffs or classification item. In the event of partial loss, damage or destruction to a shipment, the shipper shall be entitled to a partial recovery based on the per pound per package liability limits of this Item. The amount of shipper's maximum recovery shall be determined by dividing the weight of the particular package or packages that were lost, damaged or destroyed by the weight of the entire shipment and then multiplying that ratio by Carrier's total maximum liability for the entire shipment. For example, assuming (1) the maximum liability for a particular shipment is $25.00 per pound per package, (2) the entire shipment weighed 100 pounds, (3) the packages that were lost, damaged, or destroyed weighed a total of thirty pounds, and (4) the total invoice value of the packages was $900.00 dollars, then shipper's total recovery would be $750.00 dollars. If the weight of the individual package or packages that were lost, damaged or destroyed cannot be determined, then the average weight per package will be used to determine the shipper’s total recovery.
Note 5 Whenever the NMFC provides a released value rating for any commodity or article included in a shipment, such value shall be stated on the Shipping Order and bill of lading by the shipper or shipper's agent at time of shipment. Should shipper or shipper's agent fail to state the released value of such commodity or article at time of shipment or declares a value higher than the highest released value shown, the shipment will be subject to the lowest released value provided for such commodity or article in the NMFC. Excess Declared Value Coverage in item 166-1 is not applicable for commodities or articles subject to released value ratings in the STB NMF 100 Series and where the shipment moves at a release value rate.
Note 6 Whenever a customer’s pricing program provides rates or charges based on exception class rating level, on a freight of all kinds exception class or on a stated rate or charge per handling unit (whether or not the shipment is rated as a minimum charge, and the NMFC provides released or declared value ratings for such commodity or article, the lowest released value provided for such commodity or article will apply, regardless of any notation, absence of a released notation, or higher value declaration on the bill of lading to the contrary.
Note 7 Where a commodity or article is subject to more than one liability limit shown herein, the lowest applicable liability limit shall apply.
Note 8 Whenever the NMFC provides an actual value rating for any commodity or article included in a shipment, such value shall be stated on the Shipping Order and bill of lading by the shipper or shipper's agent at time of shipment. Carrier’s liability shall not exceed the actual value shown on the Shipping Order and bill of lading, and shall be subject to the maximum Carrier liability limits otherwise shown in this item. Excess Declared Value Coverage in item 166-1 is not applicable for actual value commodities or articles.
Note 9 Movement of property as part of a continuous movement that has been or will be transported by an "air carrier" is subject to a maximum liability of 50 cents per pound per package.
Note 10 Carrier liability limits shown in this rule apply even when the shipment is rated at the minimum charge. Apply the liability limit otherwise applicable to the shipment for less-than-truckload or truckload shipments.
Note 11 For shipments moving on shrink wrapped skids, and where the shrink wrap is "in-tact" on delivery, Carrier shall not be liable for individual pieces.
Note 12 Carrier shall not be liable for loss, damage or for any delay to a shipment caused by an act of God, the public enemy, the authority of law, the inherent nature or vice of the goods (including but not limited to natural shrinkage), or resulting from an act or default of the shipper.
Note 13 Shipper, consignee, broker or owner of the goods shall, at its cost and expense, comply with all applicable federal, state, local and international laws, rules and regulations pertaining to its shipments, agrees to furnish all documents necessary to comply with such laws, and shall be responsible for all costs (including Carrier accessorial charges), liabilities, delays, fines and expenses caused by, resulting from or otherwise associated with any noncompliance with any such laws, rules or regulations. Under no circumstances shall Carrier be liable for any failure to comply with any such provisions.
Note 14 If loss or damage occurs to goods in transit during the loading, handling, stowage or carriage on an ocean vessel, or during the discharge of such goods from the ocean vessel, Carrier liability shall be limited to the actual value, the liability limits shown in Sections 1-8 of this item or $500 per package, whichever is less.
Note 15 Failure of the shipper to declare a commodity or article as “other than new “(including, but not limited to, failure to declare the commodity or article to be “used”, “reconditioned”, “refurbished”, or “rebuilt”) and/or failure to declare a commodity or article shipped as being part of an interplant move shall not alter the application of this item. Commodities or articles purchased through internet auctions will be deemed to be used unless claimant can prove otherwise.

ITEM 166-1
EXCESS DECLARED VALUE COVERAGE
The shipper may request “Excess Declared Value Coverage” for shipments
of commodities or articles that exceed the maximum liability limitations provided
in Item 166 or in other tariffs or contracts making specific reference to this Item
166-1. Shipments that are inadvertently accepted that exceed these limitations,
and where “Excess Declared Value Coverage” is not requested, will be
considered released at a value not to exceed the maximum liability limitations.
“Excess Declared Value Coverage” will be deemed to be requested when
the bill of lading specifically contains a request for excess coverage including
the total dollar amount of excess coverage requested. (See Examples below and Note
1)
“$20,000.00 excess declared value coverage requested”
“$20,000.00 excess liability requested”
OR
OR
“Excess declared value coverage requested: $20,000.00”
“Excess liability requested: $20,000.00”
The charge for the “Excess Declared Value Coverage” will be 3% of the
amount of excess liability requested, subject to a minimum charge of $65.00 per
shipment. This charge is in addition to any other freight charges accruing to the
shipment, and is to be paid by the party responsible for payment of the freight
charges. The fee for Excess liability coverage is not recoverable in the event of
cargo claim for loss or damages.
The maximum excess declared value coverage allowed is $100,000.00 per shipment.
In no case shall Carrier’s total liability (including “Excess Declared
Value Coverage”) exceed the actual invoice value of the goods shipped.
Note 1 Carrier excess declared value coverage is NOT insurance. A statement on the bill of lading to insure for a specific value or a statement of value without an express request for excess liability coverage will not increase Carrier's liability, and charges for excess liability coverage will not be assessed.
Note 2 Excess declared value coverage requested in excess of the maximums allowed will not increase Carrier's liability above the stated maximums. In the event excess liability coverage is requested for an amount greater than the maximums provided, the maximum allowable excess liability coverage shall apply.
Note 3 Excess liability coverage requested on the Canadian bill of lading will be 3% of the amount of excess liability requested stated in Canadian dollars.
Note 4 Maximum excess coverage for Item 166 SECTION 3 is $5.00 per pound per package, subject to a maximum of $5,000.00 per shipment.
Note 5 Excess liability coverage is not applicable on or available for Prohibited Articles (see Item 780), commodities or articles where the NMFC provides actual or released value ratings. Any request for excess value coverage on such articles is null and void, and acceptance of a shipment bearing a request for excess value coverage does not constitute a waiver of any provision of this tariff as to such shipment.

ITEM 170
MINIMUM PAYMENT AMOUNT FOR ALLOWANCE, DISCOUNT AND INCENTIVE CHECKS
Should a participant in an allowance, discount or incentive program fail to tender
or receive a sufficient volume of business to earn a payment from Carrier of $50.00
or more in a period (month, quarter or year as defined in the program), no payment
will be made.
Each period will stand on its own for payment computation purposes. Revenues or
payments will not be accrued from one period to the next in order to meet the minimum
payment requirement.
Should a participant fail to meet the $50.00 minimum payment requirement for three
consecutive periods the allowance, discount or incentive program will be rendered
inapplicable and will be canceled.
Should a participant become delinquent as described in Item 721, any allowance,
discount or incentive payment otherwise due pursuant to this Item will be forfeited
by the participant. Carrier may reinstate the allowance, discount or incentive solely
at it’s discretion on a case-by-case basis depending on the cause of the delinquency,
the duration of the delinquency and other facts at its disposal.

|
ITEM 345-A
ARRIVAL NOTICE
-
Carrier will make a diligent effort to notify consignee of the arrival of a shipment at Carrier's destination service center. Regardless of the method that the notice of delivery is transmitted to the consignee, the notice will indicate the consignor, commodity as described on the bill of lading and shipment weight. Actual tender of delivery constitutes notice of the arrival of a shipment.
-
If the shipment is not actually tendered for delivery, notice of arrival will be
given to the consignee not later than the next business day following the arrival
of the shipment:
-
The notice will be given by telephone or mail.
-
In the case of notification by mail, the notice will be considered received by the
addressee at 8:00 A.M. on the first business day after it was mailed. If consignee
is notified by both telephone and by mail, the earlier date of contact will determine
the arrival notice date.
-
Shipments not delivered on the next business day following notification will be subject to storage charges as outlined in Item 910
UNDELIVERED FREIGHT
-
If freight cannot be delivered because of the consignee's refusal or inability to accept it, or because Carrier cannot locate the consignee, or if freight cannot be transported because of an error or omission on the part of the shipper, Carrier will make a diligent effort to notify the shipper promptly that the freight is in storage and the reason thereof.
-
Undelivered shipments will be subject to applicable storage or detention charges.
-
On undelivered shipments, disposition instructions printed on the bill of lading, shipping order, shipping label, or container or disposition instructions issued prior to tender of delivery, will not be accepted as an authority to reship, return, or reconsign a shipment, or to limit storage liability.
Carrier will follow the Uniform bill of lading terms and conditions for disposition
of undelivered freight.
|
|
ITEM 360-A
APPLICATION OF CLASSES
(Exceptions to NMFC 100 Series items 170 and 421)
To insure the correct assessment of freight charges and to avoid infractions of
federal and state laws, shippers must use proper commodity word descriptions on
the bills of lading and shipping orders. Such descriptions must conform to those
shown in the National Motor Freight Classification (STB NMF 100 Series). Appropriate
abbreviated descriptions are permitted provided the NMFC item and appropriate Sub
number thereof are shown. Incomplete or improper commodity descriptions accompanied
by a class rating (i.e. “Class 70”) are not acceptable forms of abbreviation and shall
not determine the proper classification rating applicable to such commodity. Packaging
types are required for classification rating and must also be shown.
If Carrier receives a bill of lading, shipping order, manifest or receipt for goods
where an incomplete or improper commodity description is used or where the NMFC
item number is not valid or has expired, Carrier will make every effort to classify
the freight according to the information shown. In the event Carrier, in its judgment,
cannot determine the proper classification rating, the shipment will be assigned
a rating, and rates will be assessed on the basis of the shipment density as calculated
in Item 640. (See Note 1)
When not specifically classified or described in this tariff or in the governing
publications (see Item 115), articles that have been combined or attached to each
other will be charged at a rate of the highest rated article(s) of the combined unit.
On a shipment subject to volume rates, the minimum weight will be the highest minimum
weight provided for any article in the combination.
For commodities that are subject to different class ratings dependent upon the actual
density or density group, shippers must show on the bills of lading and shipping
orders the actual density or density group for the commodity shipped. If the actual
density or density group is not shown and the shipment is inadvertently accepted,
Carrier will assess its charges on the highest class provided for such commodity
not to exceed a class 250 rating (see Note 2).
Note 1 Upon submission of satisfactory “proof” of the actual commodity
shipped and where a proper description of articles can be determined, charges will
be adjusted on the basis of the proper description, NMFC item and class.
Note 2 "Proof" is described as an invoice or packing slip along with a
pre-printed spec sheet or catalog page, which lists the commodity description, weight
and shipping dimensions. If an invoice and packing slip are not available, then
a copy of the spec sheet or catalog page information identifying the freight must
correspond to an order/product number, which can also be found on the original Bill
of Lading. A new bill of lading covering the same shipment or another copy of the
original bill of lading with typed or hand-written description, weight, density
or class changes will NOT be accepted as proof.
|
|
ITEM 361
BILL OF LADING, LETTER OF AUTHORITY AND FREIGHT BILL CORRECTIONS
-
Prior to delivery of a shipment, a request to change the payment terms (prepaid
or collect) or to add or change a third party payor on a freight bill will be permitted
upon receipt of a corrected bill of lading (“CBOL”) or Letter of Authority
(“LOA”) with written instructions from the shipper. After a shipment
has been delivered, a change in payment terms or payor will not be permitted unless
written authorization is provided to Carrier by the party (shipper, consignee or
third party) assuming responsibility for payment. Carrier reserves the right to
disallow a requested change after shipment delivery if the new payor has not been
extended credit.
-
After payment has been received based on the original terms of the bill of lading,
requests to change the party responsible for payment of the freight charges may
not be allowed (Carrier's discretion). If a refund is permitted, no refund shall
be made until payment has been received.
-
CBOL and/or LOA will not be accepted: a) To change the released, declared
or actual value of the commodity on the freight bill. b) To change the weight,
commodity, cubic feet or density after freight has delivered, unless proof of weight,
commodity or density can be established and accepted by Carrier as satisfactory
proof. “Proof” is described as an invoice or packing slip along with
a pre-printed spec sheet or catalog page, which lists the commodity description,
weight and shipping dimensions. If an invoice and packing slip are not available,
then a copy of the spec sheet or catalog page information identifying the freight
must correspond to an order/product number, which can also be found on the original
bill of lading. A new bill of lading covering the same shipment or another copy
of the original bill of lading with typed or hand-written description, weight, density
or class changes will NOT be accepted as proof. c) To change a shipper name/address
or a consignee name/address after freight has delivered.
-
Any time Carrier must issue a freight bill correction (due to no fault of Carrier)
to correct any invoice, freight bill or delivery receipt which was billed by Carrier
in accordance with the original bill of lading, the correction fee shown below will
apply. Requests for changes to commodity descriptions or shipment weights will be
accepted only when satisfactory proof of actual shipment commodity or weight is
provided to Carrier.
Note A CBOL is a bill of lading with changes that replaces the original. An LOA
is a letter or written instructions requesting changes on company letterhead and
will complement a BOL or CBOL.
Correction Fees :
$25.00 - Charge for changing the freight payment terms or payer as described in
paragraph 1 PRIOR to Delivery of a shipment or to otherwise issue a freight bill
correction as described in paragraph 4. This charge applies for each freight bill
corrected.
$34.00 - Charge for changing the freight payment terms or payer only, as described
in paragraph 1 AFTER Delivery of a shipment. This charge applies for each freight
bill corrected. The correction fee will be assessed against the shipper unless the
payer authorizes the change and agrees to pay or guarantees the payment of the fee.
|
|
ITEM 362
WEIGHING AND INSPECTION OF PROPERTY
If the description or other information contained on the bill of lading is incomplete
or believed to be incorrect, Carrier or Carrier’s agent will take the action
necessary to determine the correct information. Actions to determine actual freight
characteristics include inspection of packages; verification of gross shipment weights,
verification of actual or declared density, or collection of other sufficient evidence
necessary to verify whether the shipment is described correctly. When found incorrectly
described, the bill of lading and the Carrier freight bill will be corrected and
freight charges assessed according to the proper descriptions and weights.
|
|
ITEM 363
BILLS OF LADING -- ORDER NOTIFY SHIPMENTS
Carrier does not provide order/notify service, also referred to as negotiable bill
of lading. Bills of lading or shipping instructions tendered to Carrier in the form
of an order/notify bill of lading will be handled as a straight bill of lading.
Instructions requesting Carrier to not complete delivery of a shipment until either
securing authorization for delivery from the shipper or some other party, surrender
of the bill of lading or notification by Carrier to the shipper or some other party,
shall have no effect an be void regardless of whether such instructions are contained
in a straight or an order/notify bill of lading; and the Carrier shall have no liability
for delivering a shipment to the consignee listed in the bill of lading in such
circumstances
|
|
ITEM 365
INSPECTION / RECLASSIFICATION
All shipments handled by Carrier are subject to inspection by Carrier
or governmental agencies at any time for any reason, including but not limited to,
confirmation that the shipment contains the items described on the bill of lading
and the shipment does not violate applicable laws, rules, regulations or tariff
provisions, or for any other reason determined as necessary in Carrier’s or
governmental agency’s discretion. However, Carrier is not obligated to perform
any inspection and does not assert that acceptance of a shipment is proof of shipper’s
compliance with any such applicable provisions. By tendering the shipment to Carrier,
shipper, consignee, and any interested third party consent to such inspections and
agree that Carrier will not be held liable for any loss, damage, action or event
arising out of such inspection, except to the extent that Carrier is negligent in
performing the inspection.
-
When an inspection by Carrier results in an increase or decrease in the net freight
charges by $15.00 or more, a charge of $22.00 per shipment shall be applied. This
charge shall be the responsibility of the party responsible for the payment of the
freight charges and shall be in addition to all other applicable charges.
-
The charge in this item will NOT apply if the Minimum Weight or Minimum Charge in
any of the following rules is used to determine Final Charges :
- Capacity Load Minimum Charge
- Cubic Capacity and Density Minimum Charge
- Extreme Length / Over Dimension Minimum Charge
-
The provisions of this item do NOT apply when the inspection of a shipment is to
determine the Cube for rating offshore shipments destined to Alaska, Guam, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
|
|
ITEM 390-A
CAPACITY LOAD – MINIMUM CHARGE
Any shipment tendered to Carrier that occupies the full visible capacity of a vehicle or doubles trailer shall be subject to the minimum charge as provided below.
The provisions of this item shall have no application in any case where the otherwise applicable charge is greater than the minimum charge provided herein.
The term "occupies the full visible capacity", "loaded to capacity", or "capacity load" refers to the extent each vehicle or doubles trailer is loaded and shall mean:
That quantity of freight which because of unusual shape or dimensions or because of necessity for segregation from other freight requires the entire capacity of a vehicle or doubles trailer; or
That quantity of freight that exceeds 25 linear feet of vehicle or doubles trailer or 19,999 lbs
Each vehicle or doubles trailer loaded to capacity will be rated as a separate shipment and will be subject to the minimum charge provided below. When the charge is applicable to any vehicle or doubles trailer in the tender, the charge for that portion of the shipment loaded into the last vehicle or doubles trailer (not loaded to capacity) will be rated as a separate shipment.
Carrier shall notate on the bill of lading, freight bill or inspection report the size of the shipment or the number of vehicles or doubles trailers loaded to capacity and if any additional vehicles or doubles trailers carrying less than capacity were furnished. Carrier will indicate the weight of that portion of the shipment on the vehicle or doubles trailer carrying less than a capacity load.
On request of the Consignor, Carrier will attempt to furnish the largest vehicle or doubles trailer available. The Consignor will have the right to refuse the vehicle or doubles trailer offered, but once loading has begun, the provisions of this item shall apply.
Should Carrier receive two or more shipments from one Consignor, at one origin address, destined to one or more consignees at the same delivery address, during one calendar day, that if combined would cause the “full capacity” of a vehicle or doubles trailer, then the aggregate shipments will be combined and considered as one shipment and will be subject to the provisions of this item.
On shipments that move via two or more carriers, the minimum charge provided in this item shall be based on the vehicle or doubles trailer furnished by the originating carrier, and will apply to the continuous through movement.
The rates and/or charges shown below in Table 1 (Doubles Trailer), Table 2 (Vehicle) apply on Interstate and Intrastate shipments between points in the Continental United States and between points in the Continental United States and Canada.
Rates and/or charges in this item shall be determined as follows :
First, determine the actual mileage from point of origin to point of destination by the shortest regularly traveled available highway routes using Tariff STB – HGB 105 Series (US/US) or STB - HGB 100 (US/CN) Mileage Guides (See Note 3).
Using the State Zone Matrix, determine the Zone number for both the Origin State and the Destination State.
Refer to the applicable Table 1 (for Doubles Trailer) or Table 2 (for Vehicle).
Apply the mileage between origin and destination to either Table 1 or Table 2 to determine the applicable rate per mile subject to the stated minimum charge in the applicable Table.
Rates and/or charges are stated in cents per mile per Doubles Trailer or Vehicle used.
Note 1 All rates and/or charges shown herein shall be considered volume or truckload.
Note 2 Except as otherwise provided, shipments are not subject to allowances, discounts or reductions.
Note 3 When, at the request of the Consignor, a longer route than the shortest available regularly traveled route is used, the actual mileage over the longer route shall apply.
Note 4 Rates and/ or charges provided for in this item apply on "Freight all Kinds" (FAK) as described in the NMFC –100 Series except will not apply on shipments of Hazardous Wastes that require or are accompanied by an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or state Hazardous Waste Manifest, Household Goods, Classes A & B explosives, Livestock, Poultry, articles that cannot be loaded inside a vehicle or doubles trailer, articles of unusual value, commodities requiring special equipment or commodities injurious or contaminating to other freight.

ITEM 466
APPLICATION
OF RATES - PALLETS
When governed by
this tariff, any tariff, contract, customer specific pricing agreement or statement
of agreed pricing that provides rates/charges stated in units of “Per Pallet”
subject to a maximum weight per pallet, the following will apply. If the total shipment
weight exceeds the maximum stated weight per pallet, multiplied by the number of
pallets:

shipment weight by the stated maximum weight per pallet
-
Round all fractions
up to the next whole number
-
Use this number
so calculated to determine the number of pallets to be charged for at the stated
rate per pallet
Example: Stated
maximum weight per pallet equals 2,400 pounds. Shipment consists of 3 pallets with
total weight of 8,000 pounds. Divide 8,000 pounds by the 2,400 pound stated maximum
= 3.3. Round 3.3 to 4 pallets. Charge to be computed at the applicable rate/charge
per pallet for 4 pallets.

CUBIC CAPACITY AND DENSITY
-
The provisions
of this item will apply to any shipment, or portion thereof, which is 750 cubic
feet or more and has an average density of less than six (6) pounds per cubic foot
(PCF). Average shipment density to be calculated using actual shipment weight.
-
The provisions
of this item are not applicable in connection with:
(a) Rates determined
by any unit measure other than by weight; (b) Capacity Load Minimum Charge; (c)
Exclusive Use of Vehicle or Maximum Charges; (d) Truckload or Volume rates and Charges
Per Vehicle or Trailer used; or (e) Where the otherwise applicable charge is greater
than the calculation in this item.
-
The cubic capacity
of the shipment shall be determined by totaling the cubic feet of each packaged
unit in the shipment, in accordance with STB NMF 100 Series, item 110, Section 8(a)
and (b), except a minimum vertical dimension of eight (8) feet [(nine (9) feet when
a bulkhead has been constructed in a Carrier vehicle by the shipper)] shall be used
to determine the cube of the individual shipping unit(s) when top loading is precluded
because of:
(a) The nature
of the article/commodity when due to the irregular shape on top (e.g., machines,
etc); (b) Packaging or lack of packaging used; (c) Palletization in “pyramided”,
“rounded off”, or “topped off” fashion; (d) Specific instructions
by the shipper or by notation on the bill of lading; or (e) Packaged units bearing
instructions that the freight is not to be top loaded or double stacked.
-
The minimum charge
under this item will be based upon the calculated weight and the applicable rate.
The calculated weight will be determined by multiplying the total cubic feet by

weight by the applicable class 150 rate from the customer’s base rates less
any applicable discount. The class 150 rate used here shall not be reduced or increased
by any exception class, class tier/grouping or Freight All Kinds class rating(s)
contained in the customer’s pricing.
-
Where the customer’s
pricing is determined from mileage rates or where their applicable base rates do
not provide a class 150 rating and rate, the minimum charge shall be determined
by multiplying the calculated weight by the applicable class 150 rate from the most
current UPGF 560 Series or UPGF 525 Series class rate tariff less a 50% discount.
-
For the purpose
of applying this rule and charge, when two or more shipments are tendered to Carrier
by the same Consignor, from the same place during one calendar day for delivery

ITEM 578
PICK-UP OR DELIVERY - SHIPPER LOAD AND COUNT
Shipper Load &
Count (“SL&C”) shipments are subject to the following terms and
conditions:
1. For each SL&C shipment tendered by Shipper to Carrier, Shipper will include
"SL&C" on the bill of lading for the shipment, indicating that Shipper
counted and loaded the shipment without Carrier's driver present. Shipper's failure
to include "SL&C" on the applicable bill of lading does not change
the liability of either party if Shipper did in fact count and load the shipment.
2. Shipper will load each SL&C shipment securely, in such a manner so as to
withstand the normal rigors of transportation back to Carrier’s Service Center,
Flow Through Center or final destination.
3. Carrier's driver will not check a SL&C shipment at the time of pick up.
4. Carrier's driver will sign the bill of lading for each SL&C shipment with
"SL&C" instead of a piece count. All provisions of the bill of lading
contract, which are consistent with this item, will apply. The failure of Carrier’s
driver to include "SL&C" on the applicable bill of lading does not
change the liability of either party if the Shipper did in fact count and load the
shipment.
5. Carrier will count and verify the piece count, defined as cartons, rolls, pails,
or similar units of each SL&C shipment and note any exceptions - over, short,
or damaged (referred to herein as “O/S/D exceptions”) when the shipment
is actually transferred from the original trailer picked up by Carrier (such transfer
is hereinafter referred to as the “first physical handling” of the shipment).
6. Shipper will be notified of any O/S/D exception(s) or a clear delivery within
24 hours (excluding weekends and Holidays) of the first physical handling of the
shipment. Failure of Carrier to notify shipper of any O/S/D exceptions as provided
herein does not relieve the shipper of its obligations.
7. In the event of any O/S/D exception(s), Carrier may hold the shipment and await
disposition from Shipper or may adjust Shipper’s bill of lading to reflect
the overage or shortage and forward the shipment onto destination.
Carrier agrees to note the O/S/D exception(s) for Shipper, on the bill of lading
and delivering documentation.
8. Carrier will not be liable for any O/S/D exception(s) occurring before the first
physical handling of the shipment and reporting of any O/S/D exception(s) to Shipper,
unless there is evidence of a vehicle accident or negligence by Carrier.

ITEM 765*
PRECEDENCE OF
RATES AND PRICING (Exception to Item 765 if the NMF Series)
SECTION 1: DEFINITIONS
For purposes of applying this Item, the following terms are defined:
"Bill-to Party" is a bank, freight payment agency or logistics company designated to pay the freight charges on behalf of the Shipper, Consignee or Third Party.
"Consignee" is the party shown on the bill of lading at time of pick up as the consignee of the goods.
"Shipper" or "Consignor" is the party shown on the bill of lading at time of pick up as the shipper of the goods.
"Third Party" is the party shown on the bill of lading at time of pick up as the payor of the freight charges who is neither the Shipper nor the Consignee, is not a majority owner of the Shipper or Consignee, is not affiliated with either the Shipper or the Consignee, and/or is not the freight payment processor of either the Shipper or the Consignee.
"Pricing Program" is any program created to apply in lieu of the Carrier’s full actual class rates and charges as published in the UPGF 500 Series tariffs.
SECTION 2: ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
The provisions of Item 765 of the NMF Series will apply, with the following additions:
1. Unless otherwise provided, when a Pricing Program is published in this tariff or in any other tariffs published by Carrier, such Pricing Program will be applied in the following order of precedence:
For prepaid shipments
A Pricing Program published for the account of the Shipper will take precedence over all other Pricing Programs
For purposes of applying this item, if the shipper and the Bill-to Party are affiliated, the shipment will be considered prepaid. If the Consignee and the Bill-to Party are affiliated, the shipment will be considered collect regardless of how the shipment is identified on the bill of lading.
For collect Shipments:
An inbound collect pricing program published for the account of the Consignee will take precedence over all other pricing programs
If there is no inbound collect pricing program published for the account of the Consignee, the outbound collect pricing program published for the account of the Shipper will apply, unless the shipper’s pricing program does not apply on outbound collect shipments.
For Third Party shipments (applies when the bill of lading indicates a party other than the Shipper, Consignee or the Shipper or Consignee freight payment processor as the Payor of the freight charges)
A pricing program published for the account of the Third Party Payor (“Third Party Payor Pricing Program”) will take precedence over all other pricing programs.
A Third Party Payor Pricing Program will apply only when the Third Party Payor is neither the Shipper nor the Consignee.
All Third Party Payor shipments must be prepaid.
When the bill of lading shows freight terms as prepaid with instructions for Third Party Billing and the Third Party Payor is the same as the Consignee or the Consignee’s freight payment processor, the terms will be changed to Collect with billing to the Consignee or the Consignee’s freight payment processor.
Where no specific account or general application pricing applies, shipments handled by Carrier will be class rated in accordance with UPGF 560 series or UPGF 525 series base rate tariffs.
Pricing established for a specific level of service (such as Urgent, Guaranteed, Trade Show, Truckload) will take precedence over the otherwise applicable pricing.

ITEM 769
PREPAYMENT OR
GUARANTEE OF CHARGES
-
A prepaid shipment
is one on which the charges are to be paid by the shipper.
-
A collect shipment
is one on which the charges are to be paid by the consignee.
-
A shipment on which
charges are to be paid by a party (does not include paying agents) other than the
shipper or consignee will be accepted provided that the shipper has established
credit with Carrier and guarantees to pay all lawful charges if the third party
fails to do so. Third party shipments will not be accepted if the shipper executes
Section 7 of the bill of lading. If the Shipper executes Section 7 and the shipment
is inadvertently accepted, the Shipper will remain liable for the freight charges
and Section 7 of the bill of lading terms and conditions will not apply.
-
If in the judgment
of Carrier the forced sale of the goods would not realize the total charges due
at destination, the shipment must be prepaid.
-
Freight charges
must be prepaid on all shipments consigned to or in care of amusement parks, trade
shows, traveling shows, fairs or exhibitions.
-
All freight and
accessorial charges on shipments consigned to federal, state, county, or local governmental
bodies or agencies, including schools, must be prepaid or guaranteed. Except as
shown in paragraph 7, shipments moving on commercial bills of lading from commercial
shippers to U.S. Government installations must be prepaid.
-
In the event that
Carrier inadvertently accepts a collect shipment from a commercial shipper to a
U.S. Government installation, the shipper will be responsible for all freight and
accessorial charges. If a commercial shipper indicates on a commercial bill of lading
that freight charges are to be reimbursed by the government, the shipment is prepaid.
The shipper must pay Carrier, and request reimbursement from the U.S. Government.
-
Shipments moving
on commercial bills of lading to Exchange facilities at Army, Air Force, Navy or
Marine Corps installations may be accepted collect and invoiced to those Exchange
consignees. Commercial bills of lading that have been endorsed "To be converted
to a Government bill of lading at destination" may also be accepted on a collect
basis.
-
All freight charges
on shipments for export (other than to points in Canada) must be prepaid.
-
Regardless of any
payment terms given to Carrier, the shipper is ultimately liable for, will be billed
for and agrees to pay all lawful charges and fees necessary for shipment delivery
if the consignee fails or refuses to pay. The provisions of this paragraph are not
applicable on consignee collect shipments where the shipper executes Section 7 of
the bill of lading.

the freight charges on non-direct, joint line or interline shipments, only under
the following two conditions:

ITEM 812
BILL OF LADING
-
If a shipper elects
to use a bill of lading contract or other form of freight receipt, any terms, conditions
or provisions of such bill of lading or other form of freight receipt shall not
apply if they are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Uniform Straight
bill of lading as shown in the National Motor Freight Classification. The terms
of the Uniform Straight bill of lading shall apply and govern including the terms
and conditions of Carrier’s tariffs, which are incorporated by the reference
in Uniform Straight bill of lading. Carrier driver’s signature does not constitute
acceptance of any terms (including, but not limited to, notations regarding special
or consequential damages) which conflict or are inconsistent with the Uniform Straight
bill of lading terms and conditions (Also, see Item 819).
-
For all shipments
originated in the United States, where a bill of lading issued by the shipper is
other than the bill of lading required herein, such driver or other Carrier signature
will acknowledge receipt of the freight only. Such non-authorized bills of lading
are not a contract of carriage and Carrier will not be subject to its terms and
conditions. The terms of the Uniform Straight bill of lading shall apply and govern.
-
Continued use of
unauthorized bills of lading by shipper will not, and does not, constitute an implied
acceptance or ratification by Carrier.
-
Reference made
to classifications and tariffs or tariffs on file mean publications contained in
Carrier’s files. Such classifications and tariffs shall be made available
to shipper on request to the extent that they apply to the shipper.
-
When the bill of
lading does not indicate which party (shipper, consignee or 3rd party) is responsible
for payment of the freight charges, the freight charges will be billed prepaid and
freight charges assessed against the shipper.
-
6. Movement of property as part of a continuous movement that has been or will be transported by an air, ocean or rail carrier will be subject to the terms and conditions of the UPS Freight bill of lading together with any applicable tariffs, released rates or limits of liability. On a through bill of lading which anticipates movement by another mode of carriage, the shipper authorizes UPS Freight to act as its agent to sign any additional bill of lading as shipper's agent and shipper will be bound by the lowest limitation of liability under the applicable bill unless the shipper agrees in writing to seek full liability coverage and to be responsible for payment of the requisite freight charges to obtain full liability coverage. Should a connecting carrier not offer full liability coverage when requested by the shipper in writing, UPS Freight shall be authorized to obtain the highest liability coverage offered by the connecting carrier and shipper will be responsible for the applicable freight charges.
Note This item
is not applicable on shipments originating in Canada to the extent these provisions
are inconsistent with Canadian laws.

Note 1 Subject
to a minimum fuel adjustment charge of $2.00 per shipment when the DOE Diesel Fuel
Price Index is at least 115 cents per gallon.
Note 2 The term
“line haul charges” referred to herein applies to all charges other
than accessorial charges.
Note 3 For the
purposes of the truckload fuel surcharge application, volume or truckload shipments
are defined as:
a. Shipments rated per truckload, per vehicle, per van, or per container;
b. Shipments which weigh or are rated at weights of 20,000 lbs. or more;
c. Shipments considered a capacity load or moving under exclusive use rates.
Note 4 All shipments
will be subject to a fuel adjustment (surcharge) based on a weekly fuel price index.
The index shall be the Department of Energy’s National Average Diesel Fuel
Price Index, after 4:00 PM on Monday of each week. Said Index may be ascertained
direct from the DOE by calling (202) 586-6966 each Monday afternoon. If Monday falls
on a Holiday, the index for the next business day that is not a Holiday will be
used to determine the applicable fuel surcharges. The surcharge for each (Monday
through Sunday) will be based on Monday’s DOE index of the previous week.
Note 5 For each
four cent ($ .04) increase over 608 cents in the DOE Diesel Fuel Price Index, the
fuel surcharge will increase by an additional 0.1% on LTL. For each four cent ($
.04) increase over 608 cents in the DOE Diesel Fuel Price Index, the fuel surcharge
will increase by an additional 0.2% on Truckload shipments. When the DOE Diesel
Fuel Price Index falls below 115 cents, the fuel surcharge will not apply.

that apply for individual customers. UPS Freight, in accordance with its obligations
under the Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act, Section 13710, shall provide
to the shipper, on request of the shipper, this publication or any other written
or electronic copy of the rate, classification, rules, and practices upon which
any rate applicable to its shipment or agreed to between the shipper and Carrier

-
In an effort to provide its customers with quality service and competitive rates,
certain commodities are shipped at less than full value. UPS Freight encourages
its customers to review this publication as some items may be subject to limitations
of liability, released values or other requirements which may relate directly to
your shipment. Therefore, all shippers are further encouraged to evaluate their
personal or corporate cargo insurance polices so they may ship their goods at the
lowest possible rate while still being insured for full value.
-
Unless otherwise provided, when provisions of this tariff are in conflict with those
published in individual contracts and / or tariffs, such contracts and / or tariffs,
to the extent of their application, will apply.

extent of its application, will apply in lieu of the rule published in UPGF 102
Section 1 or the NMF 100 Series.
-
Except as otherwise
provided, or otherwise stated on the bill of lading, and unless the shipper has
agreed to accept responsibility, additional charges for brokerage , ocean and terminal
services shall be collected from the party requesting or requiring the service irrespective

reserves the right to assess the charges against the payor of the freight charges.

A, C cancels B. etc.
