ITEM 200:       APPLICATION OF RATES - FROM AND TO PLACES WITHIN OR ADJACENT TO                  INCORPORATED MUNICIPALITIES OR UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES

1. Incorporated Municipalities:

   Carrier's rates, rules and regulations will apply from or to points named and    points and places within the corporate limits of a given municipality and    additionally to and from the following points, places and areas (if within    the United States), as follows:

3.  When at the request of Shipper a route more distant than the shortest     distance between origins and destinations is used, the mileage published in     the governing mileage guide, via the route of movement shall be used, except     as otherwise provided in this Item.

4.  For rate making purposes, distances will be computed over the shortest route     obtained from the governing mileage guide.

5.  In computing distances in connection with distance rates from and to the     points shown in Column A below, the distance from or to the point descried     opposite in Column B shall be applied.

2. Charge applicable. In the event that Carrier agrees to provide, at the request of Shipper, transportation which constitutes a backhaul or a continuous movement under these provisions, the rate or charge otherwise applicable on said shipment(s) shall not be applied, and the applicable charge shall be that provided in accordance with the backhaul or continuous movement rates set forth in Rate Appendices hereto. Shipper shall be responsible for payment of all freight charges on backhaul or continuous movement shipments.

3. Route applicable.

   (a) Mileage shall be computed based on the aggregate number of miles  traversed in connection with a backhaul or continuous movement shipment, in  accordance with the mileage determination provisions herein, commencing at the  terminal from which Carrier's unit was initially dispatched and ending with  return thereto, computed as follows: (i) the mileage traversed between Carrier's terminal and the point of origin of the initial shipment; plus (ii) the mileage  traversed between the origin and destination of any shipment and the origin of  the next consecutive shipment; plus (iv) the mileage traversed between the point of destination of the last shipment and the Carrier's terminal; plus (v) all additional mileage traversed incidental to any of the mileages specified in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof, for purposes of internal cleaning of trailer, weighing, stop-off for partial loading and/or unloading, detour necessitated by highway restrictions or weight limitations, or by compliance with statutes or regulations of any governmental unit or agency thereof.

   (b) When the trailer of any unit used for a backhaul or continuous movement  shipment is located at the point of origin of the initial shipment, and if  tractor mileage charges and/or trailer rental charges are assessed in  connection therewith pursuant to applicable provisions of these Rules and  Regulations, the route of backhaul or continuous movement shall commence and end at the said point of origin.

   (c) Each freight bill in a backhaul or continuous movement must be  cross-referenced to the freight bill covering the initial shipment.

4.  Cleaning.

    Shipper and/or Consignee of the return load shall, at its expense, have the  interior of the tank cleaned so it can handle the return shipment satisfactorily; or Shipper may request Carrier to have the interior cleaned, and a cleaning charge of $125.00 shall apply.

ITEM 230:       MIXED SHIPMENT - TRUCKLOAD

Two or more commodities taking the same or different rates may be shipped as a  truckload at one time in a compartmented trailer. On such shipments, freight  charges shall be computed on basis of the actual gallonage or weight of each  commodity, as the case may be, at its respective rate, but not less than the  charges that would accrue on basis of the highest rate and corresponding minimum gallonage and/or weight as provided in Item 285 (Weight) or in individual Items.

ITEM 235:       FRACTIONS

In computing freight charges or mileage, all fractions must be retained at their full value until the final result is obtained, and then all remaining fractions  will be disposed of in the following manner:                                  Fractions of less than 1/2 cent, reduce to the next lowest cent.                 Fractions of 1/2 cent or more, increase to the next full cent.

1.  The rate to apply will be 80% of the otherwise applicable distance commodity     rate, other than a rate under Item 220 (Backhauls and Continuous Movements),     subject to the applicable minimum.

2.  Shipments may not originate in Louisiana or Texas, and must be destined to     points in the United States in or east of Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma     and Texas.

3.  The provisions of this Item will only apply on distance commodity scales in      excess of 400 miles.

ITEM 263:       RECONSIGNMENT OR DIVERSION

1.  The terms diversion or reconsignment mean:

    (a) A change in name of Consignor or Consignee.     (b) A change in destination.     (c) Any other instructions given by the Consignor, Consignee, or owner         affecting routing, loading or delivery and requiring an addition to or         change in billing or additional movement of the vehicle or both. And         additional movement of a vehicle from one point to another point or         points within the same loading or unloading facilities to finish loading         or unloading, as the case may be, shall not be considered a diversion or         reconsignment under the provisions of this Item.

2.  Shipments moving under the provisions of this Item must be prepaid.

3.  A request for diversion or reconsignment must be made or confirmed in     writing. The original shipping documents must be surrendered to Carrier or     proof of ownership by other means must be provided.

4.  The rate to be applied shall be the applicable rate from original point of     origin to final destination based on the miles traveled via reconsigning or     diversion point or, where more than one reconsignment is involved, via each     successive reconsigning point.

5.  A charge of $30.00 will be made for each diversion or reconsignment.

6.  When a diversion or reconsignment order is received by Carrier, reasonable     efforts will be made to locate the shipment and effect the change desired,     but Carrier will not be responsible for failure to do so unless such failure     is due to the gross negligence of its employees.

ITEM 265:       REJECTED, UNDELIVERED SHIPMENTS

If, for reasons not attributable to Carrier, a shipment is rejected wholly or in part by Consignee at destination, it shall be returned at that time in the delivering unit to the point of origin unless reconsigned to another unloading point by Shipper.

The rate for return movement of a rejected or undelivered shipment will be  one-half of the rate on the outbound movement in effect on the date of the  return movement. Charges will be based on the actual amount of commodities  returned, subject to the outbound minimum.

Time consumed waiting for orders, under this Item will be considered part of the unloading time, and detention charges will be assessed as provided in Item 525  (Detention of Vehicles).

If the return movement is rated under Item 260 (Return Shipments - Tendered for  Vehicles Enroute) or Item 220 (Backhauls and Continuous Movements), the rates  applicable thereunder shall apply.

ITEM 270:       SHIPMENTS TO AND FROM POINTS IN CANADA AND MEXICO

On shipments to and from points in Canada or to and from points in Mexico, the  rates in schedules making reference hereto apply only as proportional rates to  and from United States ports of entry at the United States-Mexican border.

Shipper shall advise Carrier at time service is requested of the route and the  United States port of entry to be used for movement beyond the United States  border. If Shipper fails to advise or chooses not to advise the port of entry  and/or route to be followed beyond the border, the Carrier shall do so. Upon  selection of such route and/or port of entry by Carrier, the Consignor shall be  deemed to accept such route and/or port of entry as its own routing without  recourse to the Carrier.

ITEM 280:       WEIGHING AND WEIGHTS

1.  When a weighing service is performed by Carrier, either at the request of     the Shipper or Consignee, or when weighing is required to determine     assessment of freight charges, a weighing service charge of $7.50 will be     assessed for each service; provided however, no charge will be assessed when     weighing is accomplished on Consignor's or Consignee's plant scales, at the     point of loading or unloading, at no cost to Carrier.

2.  If it is necessary to deviate from the shortest applicable route of movement     in order to weigh enroute or comply with Shipper or Consignee request to     weigh enroute, the freight rate will be based on distance from origin to     destination via such weigh point.





      In the event out-of-line weighing is required of Carrier, commodity rates     will become applicable, and mileage rates will be used to assess freight     charges.

3.  If a shipment exceeds the maximum weight which can be legally transported in     the unit loaded and it is necessary to return to origin or some other point     designated for partial unloading, the freight rate will be based on the     total distance from origin to destination via such weigh point and/or such     point of partial unloading. Time consumed in effecting partial unloading due     to overweight shall be considered part of the loading time and shall be     subject to the charges and provisions of Item 525 (Detention of Vehicles).

    Commodity rates will become inapplicable in the event the provisions of this     paragraph are applicable, and the mileage rates will be used to assess     freight charges.

4.  Time consumed in (1) weighing vehicle before and after loading or before and     after individual compartments are loaded and (2) weighing vehicle before and     after unloading or before and after unloading individual compartments, shall     be considered a part of the loading or unloading time, as the case may be,     and shall be subject to Item 525 (Detention of Vehicles); provided, however,     when Carrier is requested to arrive at Shipper's facility with a tare weight     prior to loading or at Consignee's facility with a gross weight after     loading or tare weight after unloading, without returning to the Shipper's     or Consignee's facility, such weighing time shall not be subject to     provisions of Item 525 (Detention of Vehicles).

  5.  Carrier will assess freight charges based on scale weights secured at either     origin or destination in accordance with Shipper's instructions appearing on     the freight bill. Carrier will not assume responsibility for differences in     weights secured at origin and destination in accordance with Consignor or     Consignee requests.

6.  The term service as used in this Item shall mean one weighing empty (or     partial empty) and one weighing loaded (or partially loaded). The     difference in the two weights shall be the weight of the entire shipment or     a portion thereof.

ITEM 285:       WEIGHT

Carrier's rates shall apply on actual weight transported subject to applicable  minimum weights. The weight loaded shall not exceed the maximum weight which may lawfully be transported in Carrier's equipment; provided, however, when the  weight of a shipment is less than the minimum weight specified for the  applicable rate, and the rate provides that in no event will freight charges be  based on less than the minimum weight specified, such minimum weight will apply  for the purpose of computing freight charges.

When a minimum load is based on 90% of the gallonage capacity of the vehicle,  freight charges will be based on 90% of the gallonage capacity of the vehicle  utilized.

ITEM 300:       SHIPMENT DOCUMENTATION AND LOADING AND UNLOADING DIRECTIONS

1.  Upon arrival of Carrier's unit at any Consignor's or Consignee's premises,     Consignor or Consignee, as the case may be, shall be responsible for     examining and validating the documentation connected with the shipment. In     addition, Consignor or Consignee shall be responsible for directing the unit     to the proper loading or unloading facilities and for connecting and     disconnecting Carrier's hose to the loading or unloading facilities; Carrier     shall only connect and disconnect Carrier's hose to Carrier's equipment.

2.  Each vehicle offered to the Consignor for loading of the commodity to be     transported is subject to inspection by Consignor; the acceptance of such     vehicles for loading by Consignor shall constitute notice to Carrier that     said vehicle meets Consignor's requirements with respect to specifications,     cleanliness, pumping equipment, hoses and connections.

3.  Consignor shall provide all placards required for each shipment in      conformity with regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

ITEM 305:       LOADING BY CONSIGNOR - UNLOADING BY CONSIGNEE

Except as otherwise provided, Carrier's rates and charges do not include the  service of the Carrier in loading or unloading.

Carrier's driver will assist Consignor or Consignee in loading or unloading operations where the assistance is requested. This service will be rendered, however, only under the direction of Shipper, and Carrier will assume no responsibility for errors or omissions made in the course of such operations unless complete written instructions are supplied to Carrier's dispatchers before the shipment is dispatched and then only if such errors or omissions are due to the negligence of Carrier's employees; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall Carrier's employees connect or disconnect Carrier's hose to the loading or unloading facilities.

ITEM 310:       CLEANING

Except as otherwise provided, Carrier shall be responsible for cleaning the  trailer and disposal of all commodity heels and wash water following each  shipment using Carrier's trailers, and no charges to Consignor or Consignee  shall apply because of such cleaning or disposal. Shipper shall be responsible  for cleaning any trailers owned or furnished by Shipper and used by Carrier.





ITEM 320:       DELIVERY SCHEDULES

Carrier shall handle shipments tendered to it with reasonable dispatch and  effect delivery of such shipments during Normal Business Hours, unless Carrier  has been advised prior to the shipment being dispatched that the Consignee has  extended its hours of business and/or days of operation. Under no circumstances  shall Carrier be obligated to effect delivery of any shipment at a specified  time or on a specified day. In consideration of the convenience of the  Consignee, Carrier will accept orders calling for preferred delivery periods of  either morning (a.m.) or afternoon (p.m.) and will make reasonable efforts to  comply with such requests, subject to the understanding that failure to arrive  during such preferred delivery period will not relieve the Consignee of the  responsibility to accept delivery of the shipment tendered during its Normal  Business Hours.

ITEM 330:       DETOUR ROUTES

If due to floods, washouts, snow, ice, road construction or other conditions beyond the control of Carrier, any portion of the shortline route, from origin to destination, as determined from the governing mileage guide, cannot in Carrier's sole judgement safely be traversed by Carrier's vehicle, Carrier will detour the shipment over the most practical available route, and a notation will be placed on all shipping papers and freight bills indicating the route of movement. The applicable distance commodity rates will apply to the actual route of movement.

ITEM 340:       IMPRACTICABLE OPERATIONS

1.  Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Carrier to transport     commodities or furnish service for which, in Carrier's sole judgment, it     does not have sufficient operational experience or suitable equipment nor to     accept shipments when equipment is not available.

2.  Nothing herein shall require Carrier to pick up, transport or deliver     shipments when, through no fault or neglect of Carrier, it is impractical or     unsafe to do so.

ITEM 350:       SPECIAL SERVICE

1.  During the time the normal operations of Shipper's plant are interrupted by     labor disturbances accompanied by violence or imminent threat thereof,     Carrier may dispatch vehicles or units to pick up shipments. If Carrier is     not permitted to enter the plant because of picketing or any other condition     due to labor disputes accompanied by violence or imminent threat thereof,     the order shall be considered to have been cancelled, and the provisions of     Item 590 (Vehicle Furnished But Not Used) shall apply.      2.  If Carrier is not permitted to enter the premises of a Consignee at the     point of destination for delivery of a shipment due to labor disputes     accompanied by violence or imminent threat thereof, the shipment shall be     considered to have been refused or rejected, and the provisions of Item     265 (Returned, Undelivered Shipments - Rejected) shall apply.

3.  Upon request of Shipper, Carrier may furnish additional personnel, if     available, to assist in the loading or unloading at a location which is     involved in a labor dispute accompanied by violence or imminent threat     thereof. The charge for furnishing personnel hereunder shall be $20.00 per     person per hour, subject to a minimum charge of $80.00 per person. Time     shall be computed from the time a person leaves the point of dispatch until     his return. In addition, Shipper shall reimburse Carrier for all travel,     lodging and other expenses incurred for such personnel during the time this     charge applies.

ITEM 360:       STOPOFFS

1.  Except as otherwise provided, shipments moving at Carrier's distance     commodity rates may be stopped in transit at not more than two points     enroute between original point of origin and final point of destination to     complete loading or to partially unload or both. Charges on such shipments     must be prepaid.

2.  Shipments stopped in transit to partially unload may be delivered to two or     more Consignees at two or more destinations or to two or more Consignees     within the corporate limits of any one city or town.

  3. Shipments loaded or unloaded, as the case may be, at two or more points    within the corporate limits of the same city or town shall be considered as    being stopped in transit for partial loading or unloading under the    provisions of this Item.

4. If Shipper wishes a shipment to be partially loaded at more than one place of    loading and/or partially, discharged at more than one place of unloading, and    if such places of loading are all included within the corporate limits of a    single municipality, or if such places of unloading are all included within    the corporate limits of a single municipality, a charge of $75.00 per stop    will be made for each pick-up and/or delivery, exclusive of the original     pick-up and the final delivery.

5. If Shipper wishes a shipment partially loaded at more than one place of    loading and/or partially discharged at more than one place of unloading, and    if such places of loading are not included within the corporate limits of a    single municipality, or if such places of unloading are not all included    within the corporate limits of a single municipality, the applicable rate    shall be based on the mileage from point of origin to final destination over





   the route of actual movement as per Shipper's instructions, computed in    accordance with Item 217 (Distances-Method of Computing). A charge of $60.00    will be made for each stop to unload, or to partially unload, exclusive of    the initial stop at origin and the final stop at destination.

6. On stops for partial loading and/or unloading, as described above, one hour    free time will be allowed at each loading or unloading point. Time consumed    waiting for orders will be considered part of loading and/or unloading time.    Total free time allowable under provisions of this paragraph shall be not    less than that applicable under the provisions of Item 525 (Detention of    Vehicles).

7. Shipments consigned as stop-off for partial loading and/or unloading must be    prepaid by Shipper. Prepayment will include responsibility by the Shipper for    line-haul freight, demurrage, storage, stop-off, pumping, and other charges    as provided herein, which may accrue at the origin, destination, stop-off    points, designated border crossing, or transfer point.

8. The first stop for partial unloading may not be made until all stops for    partial loading have been completed and no further loading may take place    after the first unloading stop.

ITEM 370: TENDER OF SHIPMENTS

Shipper shall make timely tender of a Shipment by placing an order for service  with Carrier at least:    (a) twelve (12) hours, or    (b) three (3) hours plus one (1) hour for each forty-five (45) miles between        Carrier's terminal from which the unit to transport the Shipment will be        dispatched and Consignor's facilities,

whichever is greater, prior to the requested loading time.

ITEM 375: TANK VEHICLES OR OTHER EQUIPMENT ORDERED BY THE SHIPPER FOR LOADING

Shipper, when placing order for equipment to be loaded, should furnish the  following information:

1. Type of tank vehicles required, if known, such as MC-300 through 305, MC-330,    MC-331, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, stainless steel, insulated,    steam coiled, compartmented, rubber lined, or heater.

   If the type of equipment needed for loading the product is not known by the    Shipper, the Carrier shall be furnished a complete description of the product    to be loaded, such as, flash point, freezing point, weight per gallon,    pressure, if any, toxicity, corrosiveness and other information that would be    helpful in determining the type of equipment needed to safely transport the    product in compliance with the provisions of the Explosives and Dangerous    Articles Tariff described in Item 110 (Governing Publications).

2. Pumping equipment required.

3. Hose required--type and length.

4. Fittings, pipe and hose connections required--size and type.

5. A Material Safety Data Sheet for each commodity to be shipped.

ITEM 400: CLAIMS FOR CARGO LOSS OR DAMAGE           I. FILING OF CLAIMS

(a) Claims in writing required. A claim for loss, damage, injury, or delay to      cargo shall not be paid by Carrier unless filed with Carrier in writing, as      provided in subparagraph (b) below. (b) Minimum filing requirements. A claim must be filed with Carrier within     thirty (30) days from the date the shipment in question was delivered, and     (i) contain facts sufficient to identify the shipment (or shipments)     involved (ii) assert the grounds for Carrier's liability for alleged loss,     damage, injury, or delay, and (iii) request payment of a specified or     determinable amount of money. (c) Documents not constituting claims. Bad order reports, appraisal reports of     damage, notations of shortage or damage, or both, on freight bills, delivery     receipts, or other documents, or inspection reports issued by Carrier or     inspection agencies, whether the extent of loss or damage is indicated in     dollars and cents or otherwise, shall, standing alone, not be sufficient to     comply with the requirements of subparagraph (b) above. (d) Claims filed for uncertain amounts. Whenever a claim is presented against     Carrier for an uncertain amount, Carrier shall determine the conditions of     the shipment involved at the time of delivery by it, if it was delivered,     and shall ascertain as nearly as possible the extent, if any, of the loss or     damage for which it may be responsible. It shall not, however, pay a claim     under such circumstances unless and until a formal claim in writing for a     specified or determinable amount of money shall have been filed in     accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (b) above. (e) Other claims. If investigation of a claim reveals that one or more other     carriers have been presented with a similar claim arising out of or relating     to the same shipment, Carrier shall communicate with each such other     Carrier, and prior to any agreement entered into between or among them as to     the proper disposition of such claim or claims, shall notify all claimants     of the receipt of conflicting or overlapping claims and shall require     further substantiation, on the part of each claimant of its title to the     involved commodity or rights with respect to such claim.

          II.  ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF CLAIMS

(a) Carrier shall, upon receipt in writing of a claim meeting the requirements





    of subparagraph (b) of Section I of this Item, acknowledge receipt of such     claim in writing to the claimant within 30 days after the date of its     receipt, unless Carrier shall have paid or declined such claim in writing     within said period.

  (b) Carrier shall at the time each claim is received create a separate file and     assign thereto a unique claim file number and note that number on all     correspondence with respect to the claim.

          III. INVESTIGATION OF CLAIMS

(b) Prompt investigation required. Each claim filed against a Carrier in the     manner prescribed herein shall be promptly and thoroughly investigated if     investigation has not already been made prior to receipt of the claim. (b) Supporting documents. When deemed by Carrier to be a necessary part of an     investigation, a claimant shall furnish to Carrier the original freight     bill, evidence of the freight charges, if any, and either the original or a     photocopy of the invoices, or an extract made therefrom, certified by the     claimant to be true and correct with respect to the property and value     involved in the claim, or certification of prices or value, with trade or     other discounts, allowance, or deductions of any nature whatsoever and the     terms thereof, or depreciation reflected thereon. Provided, however, that     where the property involved in a claim has not been invoiced to the     Consignee shown on the freight bill or where an invoice does not show price     or value, or where the property involved has not been sold, or where the     property has been transferred at bookkeeping values only, the Carrier shall,     before paying a claim thereon, require the claimant to establish the     manufactured cost, the quantity shipped, transported or involved and to     certify the correctness thereof in writing.  (c) Verification of loss. No claim for loss of an entire package or an entire     shipment shall be paid by Carrier without a statement in writing from the     Consignee of the shipment involved certifying that the property for which     the claim is filed has not been delivered by or received from any other     source.

          IV.  DISPOSITION OF CLAIMS

(a) Carrier shall pay, decline, or make a firm compromise settlement offer in     writing to the claimant within 120 days after receipt of the claim by     Carrier. Provided, however, that, if the claim cannot be processed and     disposed of within 120 days after receipt thereof, Carrier shall at that     time and at the expiration of each succeeding 60 day period while the claim     remains pending, advise the claimant in writing of the status of the claim     and the reason for the delay in making final disposition thereof.

          V.   PROCESSING OF SALVAGE

(a) Whenever a shipment transported by Carrier is damaged or alleged to be     damaged and is, as a consequence, not delivered or is rejected or refused     upon tender to the owner, Consignee or the person entitled to receive such     shipment, Carrier, after giving due notice, whenever practical to do so, to     the owner and parties that may have an interest therein, and unless advised     to the contrary after giving such notice, shall undertake to sell or dispose     of such commodities directly or by the employment of a competent salvage     agent. Shipper, if requested to do so by Carrier, shall make a good faith     effort to assist Carrier in the disposal or salvage of any damaged,     contaminated or defective shipment. Carrier shall only dispose of the     property in a manner that will fairly and equally protect the best interests     of all persons having an interest therein. Carrier shall make an itemized     record sufficient to identify the commodities involved so as to be able to     correlate that to the shipment or transportation involved, and claim, if     any, filed thereon. Carrier also shall assign to each lot of such property a     successive lot number and note that lot number on its record and shipment of     claim, if any claim is filed thereon. (b) Upon receipt of a claim on a shipment on which salvage has been processed in     the manner herein before prescribed, Carrier shall record in its claim file     thereon the assigned, the amount of money recovered, if any, from the     disposition of such property and the date of transmittal of such money to     the person or persons lawfully entitled to receive the same.

ITEM 410: CLAIMS FOR OVERCHARGE, DUPLICATE PAYMENT OR OVERCOLLECTION           I.   DEFINITIONS

(a) Overcharge means an amount charged that exceeds the applicable rates and     charges for services. It also includes duplicate payments as defined in     paragraph (b) of this section and overcollections as defined in paragraph     (c) of this section when a dispute exists between the parties concerning     such charges. (b) Duplicate payment means two or more payments for the same service. Where     one or more payment is not in the exact amount of the applicable rates and     charges, refunds shall be made on the basis of the excess amount over the     applicable rates and charges. (c) Overcollection means the receipt by Carrier of a payment in excess of the      rates and charges applicable to the service in question. (d) Unidentified payment means a payment which Carrier has received for the     performance of services but which Carrier is unable to match with its open     accounts receivable or otherwise identify as being due. (e) Claimant means Shipper or any consignee, filing a request with Carrier for     the refund of an overcharge, duplicate payment, or overcollection.

          II.  FILING AND PROCESSING CLAIMS

(a) A claim for overcharge, duplicate payment, or overcollection shall not be     paid unless it is filed in writing with Carrier within nine (9) months from





    the date the shipment in question was delivered and unless all freight bills     which are pertinent to the claim have been paid in full. (b) A single claim may include more than one shipment, provided the claim on     each shipment involves the same issue under the Schedule or the Agreement     between Carrier and Shipper or the same circumstances.

          III. DOCUMENTATION OF CLAIMS

(a) Claims for overcharge, duplicate payment or overcollection shall be     accompanied by sufficient information to allow Carrier to conduct an     investigation and pay or decline the claim within the time limitations set     forth in Section VII of this Item. Claims shall include the name of the     claimant, its file number, if any, and the amount of the refund sought to be     recovered. (b) Claims for overcharge shall be accompanied by:     (1) The original freight bill.     (2) The rate, classification, or commodity description or weight claimed to          have been applicable and authority therefor.     (3) Evidence showing that any freight bill which is pertinent to the claim         has been paid in full.     (4) Other documents or data which claimant believes to substantiate its          claim. (c) Claims for duplicate payment and overcollection shall be accompanied by the     original freight bill(s) for which charges were paid and by freight bill     payment information. (d) Carrier may accept photocopies instead of original of documents required to     be submitted by this Item if the claimant agrees to indemnify and hold     Carrier harmless for subsequent duplicate claims which might be filed and     supported by the original documents.

          IV.  INVESTIGATION OF CLAIMS

(a) Upon receipt of a claim, whether written or otherwise, Carrier shall     promptly initiate an investigation and establish a file, as required by     Section V of this item. (b) If Carrier discovers an overcharge, duplicate payment, or overcollection     which has not been the subject of a claim, it shall promptly initiate an     investigation and comply with the provisions of Section VIII of this item. (c) If in processing the claim, Carrier requires information or documents in     addition to that submitted with the claim, Carrier shall promptly notify the     claimant and request the information required.

          V.   CLAIM RECORDS

At the time a claim is received, Carrier shall create a separate file and assign it a unique claim file number and note that number on all correspondence with  respect to the claim, including the written acknowledgement of receipt required  under Section VI of this item.

            VI.    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CLAIMS

Upon receipt of a written claim, Carrier shall acknowledge its receipt in  writing to the claimant within 30 days after the date of receipt unless Carrier  shall have paid or declined in writing within that period.

          VII.   DISPOSITION OF CLAIMS

Carrier shall pay, decline to pay, or settle each written claim within 60 days  after its receipt by that Carrier, except where the claimant and Carrier agree  in writing to a specific extension based upon extenuating circumstances. If the  Carrier declines to pay a claim or makes settlement in an amount different from  that sought, the Carrier shall notify the claimant, in writing, of the reason(s) for its action.

          VIII.  DISPOSITION OF UNIDENTIFIED PAYMENTS, OVERCHARGES, DUPLICATE           PAYMENTS AND OVERCOLLECTIONS NOT SUPPORTED BY CLAIMS

If Carrier does not have sufficient information with which properly to apply an  unidentified payment, Carrier shall notify the payor of the unidentified payment within 60 days of receipt of the payment and request information which will  enable it to identify the payment. If Carrier does not receive the information  request within 90 days from the date of the notice, Carrier may treat the  unidentified payment as a payment in fact of freight charges owing it, subject  to the regular claims procedure of this Item.

ITEM 500: ALLOWANCE FOR USE OF SHIPPER'S TRAILER

1. When Shipper furnishes its own trailer for transportation service by Carrier,    an allowance of three cents (3 cents) per running mile will be made for the    miles such vehicle is operated by Carrier. Running miles shall be computed as    twice the rate-making miles for each shipment.

2. The freight bill shall show the type of vehicle furnished, and the allowance     for the use thereof will be shown on the invoice covering such shipment.

ITEM 510: SETTING OUT TRAILERS AND TRACTORS USED FOR SPOTTING

1. When for Shipper's convenience a trailer is set out at the facilities of the    Consignor or Consignee or any other site designated, a charge of $10.00 per    hour or fraction thereof will apply, subject to a maximum charge of $100.00    per trailer in any consecutive twenty-four (24) hour period. Time will run    from when the trailer has arrived and is available to Consignor or Consignee    until Carrier is notified that the trailer is ready to be picked up.





2. When Carrier is requested by Shipper to deadhead tractors and/or trailers    between Carrier's terminal and a place designated by the Consignor or    Consignee, a charge of one hundred twenty-five cents (125 cents) per mile    will apply for each mile traveled. Mileage will be computed in accordance    with the provisions of Item 217 (Distances-Method of Computing) from the    closest terminal where suitable equipment is domiciled for the service    requested, subject to a minimum charge of $100.00 per vehicle or unit.

3. When, at the request of Consignor or Consignee, a tractor is used for    spotting or similar services, at a place designated by the Consignor or    Consignee, a charge of $35.00 per hour, will be assessed, subject to a    minimum charge of $140.00 per tractor.
