ABF 610 TimeKeeper Service

Item 0160
Application

1) The following terms and conditions are applicable to all shipments moving under ABF 610 tariff.  Additional terms and conditions may be found under the item applicable to the service requested for the specific shipment. (See Item 486, Item 2000Item 3000 and Item 4000.)
2) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, Saturday and Sunday are not considered as days of transit.
3)

Specific indication of a delivery request "On" a specific date, or "Between" a range of dates, must be clearly designated on the original bill of lading in order for ABF to enact delivery "On" or "Between" the specified period.

Specific indication of a delivery request "Between," a time range, as further defined in Item 486 herein, or in Specific Account Pricing, must be designated on the original bill of lading in order for ABF to enact delivery "Between" the specified time range.

When no date/time service request is made on the original bill of lading, ABF will provide delivery by the applicable date as defined under the provisions governing the TimeKeeper service for the shipment, subject to delivery by 5 p.m. as outlined in Item 750 herein.

If a customer inadvertently endorses the original bill of lading at the time of shipment as "Assured Service PM," ABF will automatically convert the service to TimeKeeper with delivery by the ABF advertised transit due date.

 

If a customer inadvertently endorses the original bill of lading at the time of shipment as "Assured Service Noon," ABF will automatically convert the service to TimeKeeper with delivery by Noon by the ABF advertised transit due date subject to additional charges as outlined in Item 486 of ABF 610.

 

A request for Assured Service that does not indicate either "PM" or "Noon" delivery will be converted to TimeKeeper with delivery by the ABF advertised transit due date.

4) Executing Section 7 on the original bill of lading will negate this service.
5) ABF reserves the right to reject a service request when the requested service cannot be reasonably performed or is not available for the specified origin/destination.
6) ABF reserves the right to reject a request to provide TimeKeeper service in connection with a shipment for which pickup service has already been completed.  Any such request will be evaluated on a case by case basis.  If the request is approved, the applicable pricing herein will be applied.  Customer agreement will be documented in the confirmation notice and through this confirmation notice, Customer agrees to the terms of this tariff.
7) Except as otherwise provided herein, including but not limited to Item 780-1, the rates, charges, and rules and regulations of this tariff shall take precedence to any otherwise applicable rates, charges, quotes, or terms contained in any otherwise applicable and effective tariff, or contract, including the terms and conditions contained on the shipment documents. To the extent different time sensitive pricing could apply to a single shipment, the following order of precedence will apply:

a)  TimeKeeper Quote ID (see Item 4000 for more information)

b)  ABF 610 Specific Account Pricing as provided in Item 3000 herein. 

c)  TimeKeeper pricing as provided in Item 2000 herein. 
8) To the extent used herein, "ex-network" or "ex-net" shall mean any shipment that moves partially or entirely outside ABF's own shipping network and "in-network" or "in-net" shall mean any shipment that moves entirely inside ABF's own shipping network.
9) This tariff will not apply on shipments moving under the following programs:
a)  OptiPool
b)  Volume Price Quotes, except in connection with the provisions outlined in Item 2000 herein.
c)  Department of Defense Government Tenders, except as provided in Specific Account Pricing herein (Item 3000). Shipments moving under all other Government Tenders will be eligible for all TK services provided herein.
d)  TurnKey, except as provided in Specific Account Pricing herein (Item 3000) or as provided within individual TimeKeeper spot quotes (Item 4000)
