Item 810 : Freezable Policy
ABF will offer protective service from freezing, during the months of October through April. ABF reserves the right to refuse freezable freight when the temperature at the origin pickup location, or delivering location, falls below 10 degrees. These locations will be posted on the ABF website on a daily basis during October through April. The consignor must contact the ABF terminal serving its facility and finalize arrangements with the terminal prior to tendering freezable freight to ABF. Freight cannot freeze at temperatures above 32 degrees and the provisions of this item are applicable only when the consignor notates the bill of lading:
"Protection Against Freezing Required."
Individual cartons which require freeze protection must also be labeled.
