Rules And Special Service Charges (ABF 111-AB )
Effective: 01/11/2010  | Inquiry: 3/16/2010

Item 165 : Application of Rates - Zip Code Prefix
1. Where rates are determined or the application of those rates is governed by Zip Code Prefix Groups, those Groups include all points assigned to the same first three digits of the U.S. Postal Service Zip Code. For example, where a Zip Prefix Group such as "386 thru 394" or "386-394" is used, the Zip Code Prefix Group is all inclusive of such three-digit zip code numbers.
 
2. A zip code prefix assigned to a customer's physical location will be used for rate making purposes.

3. Base rate tariffs not issued by ABF are defined as foreign tariffs. When a foreign tariff, or an older ABF rate tariff, is used as the basis for rating a shipment as part of applicable Specific Account Pricing provisions, and the bill of lading covering the shipment is shipped from or consigned to a U.S. or Canadian postal zip that is not identified and included within the applicable rating tariff, then the shipment rating will be accomplished using the current ABF 504 Series (US/US) base rate (or ABF 514 Series (US/CN) if shipment originates or is destined to Canada) in effect at time of shipment. Any otherwise applicable pricing established within the applicable Specific Account Pricing provisions will apply off the current base rates.
