APPLICATION

1.	TimeKeeper, as defined under Item 160 and Item 2000 herein, provides various levels of service depending on the date requested on the original bill of lading.  The dates that may be requested under application of this Item are outlined in Paragraph 5 herein; however, requested delivery times subject to applicable surcharges as outlined in Item 486 herein cannot include deliveries before 9 AM local time or past 5 PM local time, and requested delivery dates cannot be on weekends or on holidays.  When such delivery dates and/or times are requested, service will be based on ABF’s fastest in-network ground service which can be found at TimeKeeper.com.
2.	Applies only in connection with shipments moving within the continental United States; between points in the U.S. and points in Canada; between points in the U.S. and points in AK, HI and PR; or between points in Canada and points in AK, HI and PR.
3.	Payment terms may be outbound prepaid (single line and MD2 joint line as defined in Paragraph 4 herein), inbound collect (single line only) or third-party (single line only).
4.	Shipments moving in single-line, and joint-line service where ABF is the originating carrier (MD2), may receive TimeKeeper Service as defined in this item. Specific transit times for MD2 joint-line TimeKeeper shipments can be found at TimeKeeper.com.
5.	The line-haul and special service charges for shipments moving under "TimeKeeper" will be the pricing that would otherwise be applicable to the shipment had "TimeKeeper" not been requested, subject to a 45% surcharge added to the total net line haul charge of the shipment. For shipments moving completely within the continental United States: A. If no specific delivery date is requested on the original bill of lading, the default TimeKeeper service and price shall be: Single line service where the ABF advertised transit time is one or two business days or Joint line service (as defined in Paragraph 4 herein) where ABF’s portion of the advertised transit time is one or two business days: ABF’s advertised transit time subject to a 30% surcharge. Single line service where the ABF advertised transit time is three business days or greater or Joint line service (as defined in Paragraph 4 herein) where ABF's portion of the advertised transit time is three business days or greater: One day less than ABF's advertised transit time subject to a 45% surcharge. B. When the service requested by the Customer on the original bill of lading equals one day less than ABF’s advertised service where the ABF advertised transit time is three business days or greater, a 45% surcharge will apply. C. When the service requested by the Customer on the original bill of lading equals ABF’s advertised service, or is slower than ABF’s advertised service, a 30% surcharge will apply. For shipments moving between points in the U.S. and points in Canada; between points in U.S. and points in AK, HI and PR; or between points in Canada and points in AK, HI and PR, a 30% surcharge will apply when no specific delivery date is requested on the original bill of lading or when the requested delivery date is equal to or slower than ABF’s advertised service.
6.	Additionally, shipments subject to the terms and provisions under this item will be subject to an absolute minimum charge, before inclusion of charges associated with special services, of $210.00 per shipment.
7.	In order to execute TimeKeeper service as provided under this item, consignor must endorse the original bill of lading at time of shipment by applying an ABF provided "TimeKeeper" sticker, or clearly notating "TimeKeeper" on the original bill of lading. 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.
8.	When TimeKeeper service is requested as provided in 7) above and the date requested on the original bill of lading is faster than the service outlined in 5) above, the service will defaulted to the slower of the date requested or ABF’s fastest in-network ground service. A TimeKeeper quotation will be created and those charges will apply for the service ABF provides. ABF will make a reasonable effort to contact the shipper prior to actual delivery of the shipment to confirm requested service.
9.	Unless otherwise provided in the Specific Account Pricing, services options requested through the methods outlined in Item 2000 herein will not be applicable when the shipper has installed or requested installation of a bulkhead for use in transportation of the shipment.  In lieu thereof, a TimeKeeper quotation will be created and those charges will apply for the service ABF provides. ABF will make a reasonable effort to contact the shipper prior to actual delivery of the shipment to confirm requested service.
