1. At its sole discretion, ABF may choose to weigh or reweigh shipments in its custody and may correct the billed weight and assess proper freight charges accordingly. Such weighing or reweighing may be conducted with scales owned by ABF, including platform scales or lift truck scales with a manufacturer's specified tolerance of plus or minus 1%. The accuracy of such scales will be regularly verified by ABF. When the total freight charges (including accessorials and fuel surcharge) are increased or reduced by $15.00 or more as a result of weight or weight and classification changes, a $25.00 weight adjustment fee will apply in addition to all other charges.

2. Upon request by the consignor, consignee or third party payor, the carrier will weigh or reweigh any shipment or vehicle(s) on carrier scales. Such weighing or reweighing will only be made while shipment is in the possession of ABF. A charge of $35.04 per shipment per vehicle will apply for this service and such charge(s) shall be paid by the party requesting the service. If any error in the weight is determined, the billed weight will be corrected accordingly.

When the consignor tenders ABF a shipment where the bill of lading clearly does not provide an accurate shipment weight (including when '1 lb' is shown; or when no weight whatsoever is provided), ABF will weigh the shipment on carrier scales at ABF's convenience, subject to a charge of $35.04 per shipment per vehicle in addition to all other applicable charges.

3. When ABF is requested to secure a certified public scale weight for any shipment or vehicle(s), a charge of $121.48 will be made by ABF for each weighing or reweighing obtained in addition to the fee assessed ABF for use of the certified public scale. Such charge(s) shall be paid by the party requesting the service.

4. When Customer requests ABF to weigh or reweigh a vehicle both empty and loaded, the above charge in Paragraphs 2 or 3, as the case may be, will be made for each separate weighing.
