Corrections to bills of lading or other written instructions requiring a change in the original bill of lading, including, but not limited to, (a) a change in the paying party, (b) a change in the billing address, (c) the addition of previously omitted information, (d) to change the collection status from "collect" to "prepaid" or from "prepaid" to "collect" or (e) the addition, change, or deletion of a "third party billing" or "send freight bill to" party may be permitted, at the sole discretion of ABF subject to the following conditions:

A. A charge of $20.80 per change will be added to the freight bill for each change in the bill of lading.

B. A change in collection status or paying party will not be allowed after payment has been received on the basis of the original bill of lading.

C. ABF must receive written request for change in the collection status or paying party within a period of 30 days from date of the initial bill of lading.

D. The original and new debtor must have established credit with ABF.

E. When the party requesting change in the collection status or paying party is shown as shipper or the paying party on the original bill of lading, they must guarantee, in writing, immediate payment of the applicable freight charges (and any additional charges incurred by ABF) should the new debtor fail to pay within the prescribed Surface Transportation Board credit guidelines. The consignee may request a revision to become the paying party, although they are not designated as the paying party on the original bill of lading, provided ABF is satisfied that the party making the request has the authority to do so.  The consignee will also be subject to any additional applicable charges as a result of their request.

F. Section 7 of the corrected bill of lading must not be executed.

Changes in description or weight will be permitted only upon presentation of satisfactory documentation (e.g., original invoice and descriptive literature) acceptable to ABF, that the original bill of lading was in error. Charges shown in 1(A) will apply.
