CAPACITY LOADS

                (a)          A separate bill of lading and shipping order must be used for each truckload shipment and, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d), in no case may a shipment be tendered as a single truckload where the shipment exceeds the carrying capacity of the vehicle used for pickup.

                (b)        Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) or (d), each truckload shipment will be assessed freight charges based on the applicable truckload rate and minimum weight (or actual weight if greater) but not less than the rate for  40,000 pounds as determined at the  40,000 pound minimum weight.

Freight charges shall be determined using a standard class of 60 and shall not be subject to any applicable FAKs in addition to the appropriate rate base less the applicable discount per the contracted or tariff agreement applicable to the shipment. Shipments rated under this item will be rated using the 10,000 lb. line of rates less any applicable discount. 

                (c)        Each and every standard truck bearing a capacity load (Note A) of freight will be assessed freight charges based on the actual weight or the applicable truckload minimum weight, whichever is greater.

                (d)        When a truckload shipment is tendered in excess of the quantity that can be loaded in or on one standard truck, freight charges on each standard truck will be assessed at actual weight, but not less than the truckload minimum weight and rate applicable thereto, except that the last vehicle carrying the excess will be assessed freight charges based on its actual weight and at the truckload minimum weight rate applied on the capacity load (Note B).

                 NOTE A:  The term "Capacity Load" as used herein shall mean:

                (1)          The quantity of freight which, in the manner loaded, so fills a standard vehicle that no additional articles in the shipping form tendered can be loaded in or on the vehicle; or

                (2)          The quantity of freight, which because of unusual shape or dimensions or because of necessity for segregation or separation from other freight, requires the entire capacity of a standard vehicle; or

                (3)          The quantity of freight that can be legally loaded in or on a vehicle because of weight or size limitations of state or other regulatory body.

                 NOTE B:

                A master bill of lading may be issued to cover the entire weight of the shipment, and in addition thereto, a memorandum bill of lading must be issued covering each truck used to transport the shipment or, in lieu thereof, separate bills of lading may be issued covering each truck used.  In either case, such bill of lading must show the weight loaded on the truck, as well as the total weight of the shipment, together with proper cross reference to the master bill of lading, if issued, or reference to a part lot number, or other designation, indicating that each such part lot is part of a single shipment.
