Note A - Subject to a minimum fuel adjustment charge of $2.00 per shipment when the DOE Diesel Fuel Price Index is at least 115 cents per gallon.

Note B - The term line haul charges referred to herein applies to all charges other than accessorial charges.

Note C - For the purposes of the truckload fuel surcharge application, volume or truckload shipments are defined as:

2. Shipments which weigh or are rated at weights of 20,000 lbs. or more;
3. Shipments considered a capacity load or moving under exclusive use rates.

Note D - All shipments will be subject to a fuel adjustment (surcharge) based on a weekly fuel price index.

Said Index may be ascertained direct from the DOE by calling (202) 586-6966 each Monday afternoon. If Monday falls on a holiday, the index for the next business day that is not a holiday will be used to determine the applicable fuel surcharges. The surcharge for each (Monday through Sunday) will be based on Mondays DOE index of the previous week.

For each one cent ($ .01) decrease below 200 cents in the DOE Diesel Fuel Price Index, the fuel surcharge will decrease by .1% on LTL shipments and .2% on Volume or Truckload shipments. When the DOE Diesel Fuel Price Index falls below 115 cents, the fuel surcharge will not apply.

 

 


 


ITEM 100

GENERAL APPLICATION

 

1.         This rules publication applies for UPS Freight (identified herein as Carrier). It explains Carriers extended services as well as the rules and conditions of service that apply on shipments moving under other publications, pricing agreements, or in customer contracts which show this document as a governing publication. Where reference is made, in other publications, pricing agreements or contracts to Carriers current rules or UPGF 102 Series rules, this rules publication shall be used to determine all rules, fuel surcharges, accessorial charges and special service fees. Where reference is made, in other publications, pricing agreements or contracts to OVNT 102 Series rules or MTRG 100 Series rules, this rules publication shall be used to determine all rules, fuel surcharges, accessorial charges and special service fees.

2.         Exceptions to any of the items in this publication will be noted in customer specific pricing agreements, statements of agreed pricing or contracts that apply for individual customers. Carrier, in accordance with its obligations under the Title 49 USC, Section 13710, shall provide to the shipper, on request of the shipper, this publication or any other written or electronic copy of the rate, classification, rules, and practices upon which any rate applicable to its shipment or agreed to between the shipper and Carrier is based. In addition, this publication appears on Carriers internet site and may be accessed at any time, by any shipper without cost.

3.         In an effort to provide its customers with quality service and competitive rates, certain commodities are shipped at less than full value. Carrier encourages its customers to review this publication as some items may be subject to limitations of liability, released values or other requirements that may relate directly to your shipment. (Therefore, all shippers are further encouraged to evaluate their personal or corporate cargo insurance polices so they may ship their goods at the lowest possible rate while still being insured for full value.)

4.         Unless otherwise provided, when provisions of this tariff are in conflict with those published in individual contracts and / or tariffs, such contracts and / or tariffs, to the extent of their application, will apply.

5.         Where a rule published in this tariff covers the same rule published in the National Motor Freight Classification, STB NMF 100 Series, such rule published herein, to the extent of its application, will apply in lieu of the rule published in STB NMF 100 Series.

6.         Except as otherwise provided, or otherwise stated on the bill of lading, and unless the shipper has agreed to accept responsibility, additional charges for special services which exceed the normal pickup, line haul, and delivery service defined by item 750, shall be collected from the party requesting or requiring the service irrespective of whether the line haul charges are prepaid or collect. In the event the party requesting or requiring the service does not pay or is unwilling to pay, Carrier reserves the right to assess the charges against the payor of the freight charges.

7.         A Shipment is a lot of freight received from one shipper at one place at one time for one consignee at one destination and covered by one bill of lading, whose weight includes all packaging, wrapping and pallets used in the shipment.

8.         Carrier will maintain records to verify the application of charges and will so document on any billing or invoicing to the party responsible for payment.

9.         Reissued tariffs, items or parts of items will cancel previously issued tariffs, items or party of items, or publications referenced thereto. The term series implies the most current tariff in effect at time of shipment. Where an item is suffixed with an alphabet letter, the letter A, cancels the original item not so suffixed, B cancels A, C cancels B. etc.

10.      The term current base rates, refers to the Carriers base rates in effect on the date of shipment. The term non-frozen base rates, refers to base rates that are subject to (and change with) Carriers General Rate Increase. The term frozen base rates, refers to base rates that are not subject to (and do not change with) Carriers General Rate Increase.

11.      In the event Carrier receives no shipments rated under the provisions of any Individual Tariff Item or Statement of Agreed Pricing, for a period of 120 days, the Item or Statement of Agreed Pricing will be deemed obsolete and subject to cancellation.

12.      All pricing agreements established by Carrier for its customers are subject to annual general rate increases, unless specifically stated otherwise in the pricing agreement.

13.      Section 1 provides general application. Section 2 applies only on International commerce from or to points in Mexico. Rules, rates and charges shown in Section 2 take precedence over the same rules, rates and charges shown in Section 1 to the extent of the application.

14.      Accessorial rates and charges shown in this tariff are not subject to discounts or reductions.

 

ITEM 101

APPLICATION OF DIRECT PRICING

 

Direct pricing applications established by UPS Freight in any Individual Tariff Item, Contract or Statement of Agreed Pricing will apply between ALL points in the contiguous United States, and between ALL points in the contiguous United States on the one hand and ALL points in Canada on the other, when moving on Carriers current base rates in effect on the date of shipment, subject to the following conditions: (See Note 1)

 

1)       Base rates applicable to such pricing must be the current UPGF 500, 505, 525 or 560 series; and,

2)       Shipment must be picked up by UPS Freight on a freight prepaid basis where the UPS Freight customer is the Shipper payor or Third Party payor, or,

3)       Shipment must be delivered by UPS Freight on a freight collect basis where the UPS Freight customer is the Consignee payor or Third Party payor.

 

Note 1 Indirect, joint-line, partner and interline pricing shown in the Individual Tariff, Contract or Statement of Agreed Pricing shall have no application to the extent shown above. All other conditions governing the pricing application shall continue to apply.

 

ITEM 102

APPLICATION OF INDIRECT, JOINT-LINE, PARTNER OR INTERLINE PRICING

 

Unless specifically provided in the pricing, where reference is made to indirect, joint-line, partner or interline pricing in any Individual Tariff Item, Contract or Statement of Agreed Pricing, the pricing applies only on shipments originated by UPS Freight and will not apply on advance interline shipments.

 

ITEM 105

APPLICATION OF SHIPPER PRICING

 

Collect shipments consigned to customers having no established pricing or shipments billed to 3rd party payers having no established pricing, shall be rated at the shippers pricing, to the extent of application, based on 125 percent of the applicable rates or minimum charge.
