Item 355 : Billing - Non-Standard

When specifically requested by a party to the shipment transaction (requesting party) to change consignor and/or consignee names and/or locations or to suppress disclosure of such information, ABF will make a diligent effort to perform the following non-standard billing service:

  1. ABF will accept the shipment when tendered by the party in possession of the shipment.
  2. The document on which the shipment is tendered, whether issued by ABF, the consignor or other party tendering the shipment will be used only to acknowledge receipt of the freight and will not be considered a bill of lading. The receipt will only show information about the payor of the freight charges, the consignee and consignee's location as requested by the payor or requesting party.
  3. ABF will issue a bill of lading for the complete transportation of the shipment or execute the bill of lading if issued by the requesting party. In either case, the bill of lading must contain all information required by law and all information required by ABF to perform normal shipment transportation services and to calculate applicable freight charges.
  4. ABF will make delivery to the consignee on a delivery receipt that shows only information about the shipper (consignor), TPB or party paying the freight charges as requested by the payor or requesting party.
  5. The request for this service must be made sufficiently in advance to permit performance of the above described functions.
  6. ABF will attempt to perform this service but will bear no responsibility or liability for inadvertent disclosure or incorrect delivery.

In addition to all otherwise applicable charges, including but not limited to the charge for Marking or Tagging as provided in Item 580, ABF 111 Series, a flat charge of $57.95 per shipment per trailer will apply for the service provided in this item.
