EXCEPTION TO NMFC UNIFORM STRAIGHT BILL OF LADING – SECTION 7:

 

The party (e.g. consignor, consignee, of beneficial owner) that is liable for the freight and other lawful charges shall be liable for, and shall pay to the carrier, all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the carrier for any legal action taken by the carrier to collect the freight and other charges.

 

The provisions of the Non-Recourse Clause, if signed by the consignor on the face of the bill of lading, will apply only to a collect shipment or to accessorial services ordered after the shipment has been tendered to AKMR for transportation.  Provisions of the Non-Recourse Clause, as set forth on the face of the bill of lading, will not apply to prepaid charges, except as otherwise provided herein.

 

Where the shipment has been designated as prepaid, the provisions of the Non-Recourse Clause, as set forth on the face of the bill of lading, will apply only to services ordered after the shipment has been tendered to AKMR for transportation.  This clause will not release the shipper from responsibility for payment of freight charges or for payment of the accessorial services ordered on the bill of lading that are received prior to, and when, shipment is tendered to AKMR.

 

 

APPLICATION OF RATES – THROUGH, PROPORTIONAL:                                                                                               235

 

A.                  Where through, joint, or proportional rates are published in this tariff, such rates are the applicable rates over these routes and may not be substituted by rates for intermediate routes, even if the intermediate rate may be a lesser charge.

 

B.                   The entire shipment must be delivered to AKMR’s terminal at Seattle, WA.

 

C.                   Rates apply only when the shipment has moved directly from origins specified in the rate Item to AKMR’s terminal at Seattle, WA.

No charges will be advanced to shippers, owners, consignees, their warehousemen or agents, except those incidental to the transportation of freight (including drayage, wharfage, handling and other terminal charges) and then only on such freight, which in the estimate of the carrier’s agent, is valued in excess of freight charges, including the incidental charges described herein.  The cost or any part thereof of the articles being shipped, will not be advanced.  Advance charges must be presented to the carrier at the time of delivery of cargo to the carrier’s terminal.  Carrier will not issue a corrected freight bill based solely upon a change in instructions regarding advancing of charges.

                                                                                                                                                          (NEW)

Unless excepted by specific tariff commodity provisions or for specific destination ports, personally owned

vehicles may have personal effects or other property shipped with them under the following specific conditions.

 

A.         Applicable To All Personally Owned Vehicles 

 

Autos/vehicles may not be loaded with other items of personal or commercial property that would cause them to exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) as specified by the manufacturer or that would make them unsafe or unsuitable for operation on public roadways.  Prior to acceptance by Carrier, vehicles will be inspected to verify the GVWR and weighed to determine the total gross weight.

 

If the vehicle exceeds the GVWR, owners may opt to either remove cargo from the auto/vehicle to lower its weight or proceed to warehouse receiving for transfer of excess cargo weight to pallets.  Cargo transferred from the vehicle to pallets will be billed as less than container load (LCL) cargo at the appropriate commodity rates as listed in this tariff.  Owners who are not present at the time of delivery of the vehicle may designate their delivery agent to make this choice, but if no owner or agent is present at the time the vehicle is weighed, then the Carrier will remove items indiscriminately to achieve the most suitable weight and will ship the items so removed as LCL cargo at the prevailing rate.  The GVWR can often be found embossed on an identification plate inside of the driver’s side door pillar.

 

For automobiles or extended cab pickup trucks, no personal property will be accepted if loaded 1) in the front seat,

2)  on the floor of the rear seat directly behind the operator’s seat, or 3) anywhere within the passenger spaces to a height that interferes with 360 degree visibility by the vehicle operator through the passenger seat or rear compartment windows.  No items may be loaded or secured to luggage racks or similar arrangements on the roof of automobiles, with the exception of car-top carriers that are specifically designed to be securely attached to such racks and that may be positively closed as part of a design to be reasonably impervious to weather conditions at normal highway speeds.

 

B.          Pickup Trucks

 

Pickup truck beds may have personal property loaded in the truck bed, but not to a level any higher than the sides of the bed itself.  Proper securing and protection of such property will be the responsibility of the Shipper and subject to inspection and approval by Carrier representatives at the time of receipt of the vehicle.  This height limit will not be applied in the case of camper tops or other, similar devices that allow for a cargo space to be created behind the cab of the vehicle and which permits a positive closure and securement of the space and protection of the contents inside.

 

C.           Flatbed Trucks

 

No personal property or other type of cargo will be accepted if loaded on an open, exposed flatbed truck deck unless advance arrangements have been made and written approval has been granted for the load by a Carrier representative.

D.           Liability for Non-Factory Installed Cargo Loaded in Automobiles and Pickup Trucks                             

 

All such personal property loaded in or on vehicles will be accepted at the Shipper’s sole risk of loss or damage from any cause, and no liability for anything other than the vehicle itself will be accepted by the Carrier.

Claims will not be accepted for any damages to the vehicle that may be attributed to the loading or securing

of such personal property within the vehicle.  In addition, Carrier reserves the right to reject any such property

if, in its sole judgment, the loading or securing of the property or the nature of the items represents a potential

danger to the vehicle, other cargo, or personnel.  In that event, Shipper will be given the opportunity to remove

the items, or may authorize Carrier to repackage the items and ship them as LCL cargo under applicable tariff

provisions.
