Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
Every tariff which contains distance or mileage rates must
						publish the distances to apply between either the basing points or all points
						from and to which the rates apply and/or make provisions for the computation of
						distances to be used in determining such rates from or to points for which no
						distances are published. If highway distances are to be used but are not
						published in the tariff, they may be computed by the use of a governing mileage
						guide tariff or similar publication (not a rate tariff) or the current Official
						Alabama Highway Map which is published by the Alabama State Highway Department.
						If the Official Alabama Highway Map is used, the tariff must contain a rule
						governing its use which reads substantially as follows:
"In the event a shipment originates at or is destined to a
						point for which distances are not provided in the tariff, distances will be
						computed via the shortest paved Interstate, U.S. and/or State highways (not
						County roads), by adding or deducting the distance shown on the current
						Official Alabama Highway Map from or to points for which distances are
						published.
If no distances are published in the tariff, to the extent
						possible, distances will be computed between principal points between which
						cumulative distances are shown on the map.
For distances from or to points not shown on the Official
						Alabama Highway Map, or from or to points located on County roads, add or
						deduct the actual odometer mileage from or to the nearest point or points as
						provided in the preceding paragraphs."

						shippers, receivers or others who regularly subscribe to their tariffs at the
						same time they were transmitted for filing with the Commission; this

						letter of transmittal to the Commission. If filings are hand delivered to the
						Commission, transmittal to such tariff subscribers shall be by hand deliveries
						or by First Class U.S. Mail; filings transmitted to the Commission by mail
						shall be transmitted to tariff subscribers by the same class mail as to the
						Commission. The above certification shall include the manner in which
						transmitted to tariff subscribers.
Every carrier or agent shall furnish copies of their tariffs to
						any party making a reasonable request for them and willing to pay an amount
						sufficient to cover the cost of printing and postage if the carrier or agent
						desires to assess such charges.
(3) POSTING TARIFFS. Each carrier shall
					maintain a complete file on all tariffs issued by it or its agent, including
					all tariffs in which it concurs as a participating carrier, at its general
					office and its principal office located in the State of Alabama, and, to the
					extent practicable, at each of its terminals in the State of Alabama showing
					all the rates, charges, rules and regulations which are applicable from or to
					the points served by such individual terminals. All such tariff files
					maintained by the carrier shall be accessible and open to public inspection
					during regularly recognized business hours.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1)
					TABLE OF CONTENTS. A table of contents, arranged in alphabetical order, shall
					show the page and item numbers where each subject may be found. In instances
					where a schedule contains so small a volume of material that the title page and
					its interior arrangement readily indicate the contents, the table of contents
					may be omitted.
(2) INDEX OF
					COMMODITIES. All articles or commodities, listed separately or by generic
					heading, for which rates and/or charges are provided shall appear in a complete
					index, alphabetically arranged, showing references to the item or items where a
					particular article or commodity is shown. The index of commodities may be
					omitted if a schedule contains so small a number of commodities that its title
					page or interior arrangement plainly discloses this information.
(3) INDEXES OF POINTS OF ORIGIN AND
					DESTINATION. Schedules which name specific point-to-point rates shall provide
					an alphabetical index of all points from which rates apply and a separate
					alphabetical index of all points to which rates apply. Schedules which employ
					index or group numbers or group basing points for the determination of rates or
					charges shall provide an alphabetical index of all points to or from which such
					rates apply and the index, group number or basing points shall be shown
					opposite each point.
In instances where a schedule contains so small a volume of
						material that the title page and its interior arrangement readily indicate the
						points from and/or to which rates apply, an alphabetical index of points of
						origin and destination may be omitted.
(4) EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS, REFERENCES AND
					ABBREVIATIONS. All symbols, reference marks and abbreviations appearing in the
					schedule shall be explained either on the page on which they are used, or
					reference must be made to the location where their explanation is set forth.
					Changes in rates, charges or regulations shall be symboled to indicate the type
					of change which has been made. The following uniform symbols shall be used to
					indicate change and may not be used for any other purpose in any schedule:
or (1) denotes increases
or (R) denotes reductions
or (3) denotes changes which result in neither increases nor
						reductions in rates or charges
@ or (N) denotes addition of new material.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
All rules, regulations or other provisions which affect the
						rates or charges named in the schedule shall be designated by an item number
						and worded in a clear and concise manner. Where it is not desirable or
						practical to include the governing rules and regulations in the rate schedule,
						such rules and regulations may be published in tariffs as authorized in
						770-X-10-.06 -.05(f) filed with this Commission by a carrier or an agent,
						provided specific reference is made in the rate schedule to such tariff in the
						manner set forth in 770-X-10-.06 -.05(f).

Alabama Administrative Code › Title 770 - ALABAMA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION › Chapter 770-X-10 - MOTOR CARRIER GENERAL ORDERS AND REGULATIONS PAMPHLET NO. 2003 › Section 770-X-10-.06-.10 - Statement Of Rates Or Charges

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) ALL RATES AND CHARGES EXPLICITLY STATED.
					All rates and charges shall be clearly and explicitly stated in cents or in
					dollars and cents, per 100 pounds, per net ton of 2,000 pounds, per gross ton
					of 2,240 pounds, per stated truck load or other defined unit. Units of time may
					be used for terminal, accessorial, and special service or transportation rates
					or charges for movements not exceeding 30 miles; however. such units may be
					used for movements in excess of 30 miles, provided the rates and charges are,
					by specific schedule provision, restricted to special types of movements in
					equipment dedicated to such special movement. If all rates or charges in a
					schedule are stated in the same unit, that fact may be indicated on the title
					page in connection with the application of the schedule.
Complicated plans or ambiguous terms must not be used. It must
						be clearly shown whether the named rates apply to or between the named points
						and all rates must be arranged in a simple and systematic manner. Insofar as
						possible, such rates should be divided into small sections by items, index
						numbers or similar method: each section should be assigned an identifying
						number to facilitate ready references thereto.
(2) MINIMUM QUANTITIES. When truck load or
					volume commodity rates are published, the minimum quantities on which the rates
					apply shall be specifically stated in the schedule naming the commodity
					rates.
(3) GROUPING OF ARTICLES
					UNDER GENERIC HEADING. A commodity item may, by use of a generic term, provide
					rates on a number of articles without naming such articles, provided such
					commodity items contain reference to an item (not a rate item) in the schedule
					which contains a complete list of such articles.
(4) COMMODITY DESCRIPTIONS MUST BE SPECIFIC.
					When commodity rates are established, the description of the commodity must be
					specific and the rates thereon may not be applied to analogous articles. To the
					extent possible, uniform commodity descriptions should be used in all
					schedules.
(5) CARRIER OPERATION.
					Schedules may contain the scope of operation of the carrier and, if published
					in the schedule, such provisions must contain a notation or rule which shall
					read substantially as follows:
"Any matter contained herein which is or may become the
						subject of controversy will be governed by the permit of authority as contained
						in the orders within the official files of the Alabama Public Service
						Commission."

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
When a schedule or supplement is rejected, the number which it
						bears may not be used again as a designation of any new filing. Any publication
						that is issued in lieu of the rejected publication must bear the notation,
						directly under each new number:
"Issued in lieu of______________, rejected by

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
Every schedule which contains distance or mileage rates must
						publish the distances to apply between either the basing points or all points
						from and to which the rates apply and/or make provisions for the computation of
						distances to be used in determining such rates from or to points for which no
						distances are published. If highway distances are to be used but are not
						published in the schedule, they may be computed by the use of a governing
						mileage guide tariff or similar publication (not a rate tariff) or the current
						Official Alabama Highway Map which is published by the Alabama State Highway
						Department. If the Official Alabama Highway Map is used, the schedule must
						contain a rule governing its use which reads substantially as follows:
"In the event a shipment originates at or is destined to a
						point for which distances are not provided in the schedule, distances will be
						computed via the shortest paved Interstate, U.S. and/or State highways (not
						County roads), by adding or deducting the distances shown on the current
						Official Alabama Highway Map from or to the nearest points for which distances
						are published. If no distances are published in the schedule, to the extent
						possible, distances will be computed between principal points between which
						cumulative distances are shown on the map.
For distances from or to points not shown on the Official
						Alabama Highway Map, or from or to points located on County roads, add or
						deduct the actual odometer mileage from or to the nearest point or points as
						provided in the preceding paragraphs."

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
Upon receipt of an order suspending any publication in part or
						in its entirety, the carrier or agent in whose name the publication was filed
						shall immediately file and post in accordance with 770-X-10-.06 -.14 a
						supplement or addendum containing a "Notice of Suspension." The supplement or
						addendum shall contain a title page which shall identify the investigation and
						suspension docket number and shall bear an issue date, but not an effective
						date. The notice of suspension shall specifically indicate the publication or
						portion thereof that is suspended, the date on which the suspension ends, state
						that the matter under suspension may not be used during the period of
						suspension (and subsequent postponements, if any) and identify the provisions
						that will apply during such period of suspension or postponement. A notice of
						suspension may not include any provisions not relating to the
						suspension.
