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 171

BUMPING CLAUSE - NON - APPLICATION

“Bumping may be performed under the provisions of Item 171, NMF 100 Series (NMFC) subject to the following :

  1. “Bumping” provisions may only be used for commodity items in the NMFC that assign classes based upon density and then only for those that make specific reference to Item 171 in the NMFC.

  2. Shipper may only “Bump” to the next lower (NMFC) class or rating. “Bumping” to an EXCEPTION or FREIGHT ALL KINDS (FAK) class or rating is not permitted.

  3. When the provisions of this rule are utilized, shipper must declare intent to “Bump” at time of shipment and include all the following items on the original bill of lading :

Actual cube   Actual weight    Density group (sub) embracing the actual density

Declared density         Declared weight for billing


ITEM 300

ADVANCING OR PAYING CHARGES

  1. Unless otherwise instructed by the shipper or consignee, Carrier may advance or pay charges for truck entry fees, pier handling fees or for accrued lawful charges of air or water carriers. Such advancements or payments together with the charges accruing under this item will be assessed to the party paying the freight charges.

  2. The charge for this service will be 5% of the amount advanced or paid, subject to a minimum charge of $65.00 per shipment.

Note 1 Charges specified in this rule must be entered on billing in such a manner as to accurately describe their exact character.

Note 2 Provisions of this item do not include the advancing of broker's fees or in-bond shipments moving from a place in a foreign country to another place in a foreign country and transported through the United States.

ITEM 345-A

ARRIVAL NOTICE

  1. 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.

  2. 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:

    1. The notice will be given by telephone or mail.

    2. 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.

  3. Shipments not delivered on the next business day following notification will be subject to storage charges as outlined in Item 910

UNDELIVERED FREIGHT

  1. 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.

  2. Undelivered shipments will be subject to applicable storage or detention charges.

  3. 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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 :

    1. Capacity Load Minimum Charge
    2. Cubic Capacity and Density Minimum Charge
    3. Extreme Length / Over Dimension Minimum Charge
  3. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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:

    1. 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

    2. That quantity of freight that exceeds 25 linear feet of vehicle or doubles trailer or 19,999 lbs

  3. 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.

  4.

  4. In the event that Carrier or its authorized interline Carrier fail to collect the COD amount, Carrier and/or its authorized interline Carrier will only be responsible for the COD amount and will not be subject to any late fee, interest charge, service charge, loss of business liability or consequential damages of any kind.

  1. A shipment on which the invoice is to be sent and paid by a Bill to Party, payment terms will be changed from prepaid to collect or from collect to prepaid, as necessary, to ensure that the shipment is Prepaid, if the Consignor and Bill to Party are affiliated, or Collect, if the consignee and Bill to Party are affiliated.

CARRIERS, CONTAINERS, PALLETS, SKIDS

When shipments are tendered to Carrier and transported in or on shipping carriers, containers, pallets, platforms, racks, reels or skids, they constitute an integral part of the shipment, are to be charged at the rate applicable for the commodity they carry, and are to be delivered to and receipted for by the consignee(s) named on the Bill of Lading covering the loaded movement.

Application for mixed shipments will be governed by STB NMF 100 Series item 640, except Sec. 3(b) (3) shall read, The weight of pallets, platforms, racks, skids, unitizing materials or packaging devices as required by Paragraph 3(b) (5) must be shown on the shipping order and the bill of lading and will be charged at the lowest class applicable to any article or articles in the shipment.

Unless written agreements have been made with the shipper, any request or provision noted on the bill of lading or shipping order at the time of movement requesting the return of these shipping devices, forms or packages will not be binding upon Carrier to accomplish or comply with such request or provision to complete the contract of carriage on the shipment.

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:

  1. Divide the total shipment weight by the stated maximum weight per pallet

  2. Round all fractions up to the next whole number

  3. 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.

ITEM 470-A

    2. Transfer the shipment to another vehicle or doubles trailer

    3. To load other freight in the same vehicle or doubles trailer

    4. Remove lock(s) and/or seal(s) applied to the vehicle or doubles trailer

The party making the request must confirm in writing and must guarantee charges. This written verification will be preserved by Carrier and considered part of the bill of lading contract. Charges will be assessed as provided below between the point of origin and point of destination.

Note 4 Shipments moving under the provisions of this item will be considered Volume or Truckload and shall not be subject to allowances, discounts or reductions. Rates and charges offered by Carrier under a spot quote will take precedence over the charges included in this item.

Note 5 Stop off for partial loading or partial unloading will not be permitted on exclusive use of shipment.

Note 6 All charges are to be paid or guaranteed by the party requesting the service and the Section 7 non-recourse stipulation on the bill of lading may not be executed. If Carrier inadvertently accepts a shipment with the Section 7 signed it shall be deemed null and void.

CUBIC CAPACITY AND DENSITY

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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 six (6) pounds for each cubic foot or portion thereof. The minimum charge will then be determined as shown in (a) or (b) below.

    1. Multiply the calculated 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.

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.

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.

  2. 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.

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;

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.
