3. Additional Considerations:

A. Each vehicle or doubles trailer required to transport the shipment, except one, shall be loaded to capacity and subject to the minimum charge as provided above. The vehicle or doubles trailer containing less than a capacity load will be considered overflow and rated as a separate shipment when the minimum is applied to any capacity loaded vehicle or doubles trailer in the shipment. For the purpose of determining application of the minimum charge, the total freight charges will be allocated to each vehicle or doubles trailer proportionate to the weight (of total shipment) contained therein.

B. On shipments which move via two or more carriers, the minimum charge provided in this item will apply to the continuous through movement.  The originating carrier shall indicate on the bill of lading and/or freight bill, the number of vehicle(s) doubles trailer(s) loaded to capacity, used by the originating carrier to transport the shipment, and shall also indicate if an additional vehicle or doubles trailer carrying less than capacity load was furnished. In the event an additional vehicle or doubles trailer was furnished, the originating carrier shall indicate the weight of the portion of the shipment loaded into such vehicle or doubles trailer.

C. All rates and/or charges shown herein shall be considered volume or truckload.

D. Except as otherwise provided, shipments are not subject to allowances, discounts or refunds.

E. 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.

F. “Vehicle” – The term vehicle as used in this item means any vehicle (set of pups) or combination of vehicles handled as one unit of not less than 35 feet in length, propelled or drawn by a single power unit and used on the highways in the transportation of property. When the vehicle consists of a power unit and two or more trailers, the combined length of the trailers must not exceed 60 feet measured along the center longitudinal line of each trailer floor. “Doubles Trailer” – The term doubles trailer as used in this item means a trailer of 29 feet or less in length.

4. EXCEPTIONS:

The charges provided in this item will not apply to shipments moving under a TimeKeeper Price Quote, Volume Price Quote, rate or charges stated in units per type of equipment or per mile published in ABF 645 or ABF 646, ABF 2025, or U-Pack Price Quote.
