(Exception to NMF 100, Item 595)

Provisions of this item will only apply in connection with shipments subject to class rate tariffs listed in Item 130 herein.

ABF has control of all of its vehicles and doubles trailers and has the unrestricted right to operate them in the manner most advantageous for accomplishing the goals of fast, efficient and safe transportation of freight. However, when exclusive use of a vehicle or doubles trailer is provided by ABF at the request of the Customer, the following provisions will apply:

1. Charges will apply to each vehicle or doubles trailer used to transport the shipment.

2. The request must be given in writing or placed on the bill of lading and shipping order.

3. When bill of lading and/or shipping instructions prohibit the breaking of locks or seals or the co-loading of additional freight, such instructions will be considered as a written request for exclusive use service.

4. The vehicle or doubles trailer will be devoted exclusively to the transportation of the shipment, without the breaking of locks or seals, except as provided in Paragraph 5.

5. In the event a lock or seal has been removed from a vehicle or doubles trailer, ABF will immediately relock or reseal the vehicle or doubles trailer and will notate the accompanying papers with the new lock or seal number and the reason for removal of the original lock or seal.

6. The charge will be for the actual weight of the shipment at the rate applicable or at the minimum weight provided for in connection with the applicable rate, whichever is greater, subject to a minimum charge for each vehicle or doubles trailer used, computed on a weight of:

A. For a doubles trailer: 150% of the capacity load minimum charge for a doubles trailer as outlined in Item 390-1 of
ABF 111.

B. For a vehicle: 300% of the capacity load minimum charge for a doubles trailer as outlined in Item 390-1 of ABF 111.

The provisions of paragraph 5 of Item 151 herein do not prevent application of any otherwise applicable discount in the calculation of the capacity load minimum charge as outlined in Item 390-1 of ABF 111 Series.

7. Charges are to be paid or guaranteed by the party requesting the services, and the nonrecourse stipulation on the bill of lading may not be executed. (This paragraph not applicable on shipments moving on government bills of lading.)

8. When the request for exclusive use of vehicle or doubles trailer is made by the Customer after shipment has been receipted for and is in possession of the carrier, ABF will, if possible, intercept the shipment and convert it to exclusive use of vehicle or doubles trailer service over as much of the route as possible. The party making the request must confirm in writing and must guarantee charges. Such written verification will be preserved by ABF and considered as part of the bill of lading. Charges will be assessed as provided in Paragraph 6 between the point of initial origin and point of destination.

The provisions of this item will not apply in connection with Item 900 (Stopoffs).
