RECONSIGNMENT OR DIVERSION

Carrier is not obligated to divert or reconsign a shipment, but upon request of consignor, consignee, or owner, carrier may initiate the effort to divert or reconsign subject to the following provisions:

1. The terms "reconsignment" and "diversion" are considered to be the same and include the following requests:
   1. a change in the name of consignor or consignee;
   2. a change in the place of delivery within the original destination point;
   3. a change in the destination point; and
   4. return (recall) of a shipment at point of origin.
2. Requests shall be made in writing or confirmed in writing if made by telephone. Requests may not be conditional or contingent upon any circumstance, and carrier will not accept any written notation on the bill of lading, shipper's order, package, or shipping tag made prior to the time reconsignment is requested.
3. A request for reconsignment shall constitute the requesting party's guarantee of payment for all freight charges on the shipment or shipments in question.
4. A request for reconsignment of a portion of a shipment may not be made, and such a request shall constitute authority to reconsign the entire shipment.
5. Charges for reconsignment shall be in addition to all other freight charges and shall be:
1. Change in the Name of Consignor or Consignee
   When a change in the name of consignee is requested, with no change in place of delivery, a charge of $33.75 will apply.
2. Change in the place of delivery within the original destination point
1. Prior to Tender of Delivery (See Note A).
   When reconsignment requires a change in the place of delivery at destination (with or without a change in consignee's name) prior to tender of delivery, a charge of $33.75 will apply.
2. After Tender of Delivery (See Note B).
   When reconsignment requires a change in the place of delivery at destination (with or without change in consignee's name) after tender of delivery, the charge will be the tariff rate from point of reconsignment to the final destination but not less than the rate from the origin to the final destination (See Note C).
3. Change in the destination point
1. When reconsignment occurs at origin, a charge of $33.75 will apply.
2. When reconsignment occurs after a shipment has departed from origin, the charge will be the tariff rate from point of reconsignment to the final destination but not less than the rate from the origin to the final destination (See Note C).

Note A - Reconsignment prior to tender of delivery shall mean a change which occurs at a point directly intermediate over the route of movement to the original destination or at carrier's destination terminal before the shipment has been loaded in the delivery vehicle.

Note B - Reconsignment after tender of delivery shall mean a change which occurs after the shipment has arrived at destination or after the shipment has been loaded in the delivery vehicle at carrier's terminal as originally consigned.

Note C - The point of reconsignment shall be the destination point or the carrier's terminal at which a shipment is located when carrier acknowledges the reconsignment request can be honored.
