Item 440 : Construction Sites and Other Limited Access Pickup or Delivery Locations

ABF will perform pick up or delivery service at a construction site or other location with limited access, subject to a charge per service of $6.05 per cwt, but not less than $75.75, nor more than $225.00 per shipment, in addition to all other charges applicable to the shipment. The term “limited access” shall include but is not limited to:

·    construction sites (see Note 1)
·    mine sites (see Note 2)
·    military bases / installations
·    camps, parks
·    churches
·    individual mini-storage units
·    prisons
·    schools
·    Indian reservations
·    farms, ranches,
·    fairs, carnivals, and chautauquas

In addition to the locations specifically listed above, a “limited access” location is defined as meeting any of the following conditions:

  1. Not open to the walk-in public during normal business hours.
  2. Not having personnel readily available to assist with pickup or delivery.
  3. Not having access to a loading/unloading dock or platform.
  4. Sites where extensive security related inspections and processes are required before pickup or delivery can be performed.

The charge provided in this item will include initial notification in the case of delivery to arrange for an agreed delivery time. Any additional notifications will be charged at normally published notification charges and assessed to the party requiring the additional notice.  Charges will not apply when the charge in Item 751 (Residential pickup or delivery) is assessed.  Accepting delivery at ABF's terminal does not constitute reconsignment nor does it constitute a chargeable service under this item.

Note 1 - The term "Construction Site" shall be defined as the site of any construction of buildings, roads, bridges or other sites of construction including the entire property upon which the construction is taking place, and delivery to any facility (such as warehouses, depots, supply houses or similar facilities) located on such property.

Note 2 - The term "Mine Site" shall be defined as the site of any pit, excavation, shaft or deposit at which ore, minerals or coal has been, or will be extracted. Such site or "mine" shall include the entire property upon which the mine is located, and delivery to any facility (such as mine warehouses, mine deposits, mine supply house, mine tipples or similar receiving facilities) located on such property will be considered as delivery to a mine. On shipments involving stopoffs, charges apply to each portion of the shipment delivered to a mine site.
