General Information TOTE generally ships trailer-load quantities of freight as well as machinery and vehicles that are capable of being driven or towed onto a TOTE vessel.
TOTE is also capable of handling moves that require a crane-lift directly to a ship.
Freight Tariff STB TOTE 300-C governs the rates and methodology used for freight moving on TOTE's ships. Rates are determined by the commodity shipped and the amount of space utilized. Most commodities in the TOTE 300-C Tariff have a required minimum weight per trailer load dependent upon commodity, equipment type, and other factors. In this example, the 558 represents cents per 100 pounds shipped. This base rate is used to calculate any additional charges such as terminal handling or bunker fuel surcharge when applicable.
