Claims must be presented within the time periods prescribed by law but in no instance later than 180 days from the date of original freight bill presentation.
  2. Short payment or taking credit for any freight bills by any party is not permitted. The only recourse for any party is to file an overcharge claim. In the event a bill is received short paid, a $27.00 surcharge per bill will apply, and provisions of Item 725 will apply, when applicable.
