2.1.3 Information

|
| |
The following
information is required in order for us to issue
a rate quote.
- Name of the shipper and consignee;
- Origin and destination of shipment (please
provide zip codes);
- The commodity being shipped;
- The equipment size and type required;
- The service being requested (door to door,
door to ramp, ramp to door, ramp to ramp,
etc.);
- Any additional services required (extended
free time, lumper, driver unload, etc).
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
2.1.4
Target Rate Requested. Issuance of Rate Quote |
|
| |
We issue rate quotes to a particular customer, referred to as the “bill to” name, and differentiate rate quotes by the relevant shipment specifics, such as type of commodity, equipment size, origin/destination and other information required under Section 2.1.3. The rate quote will not apply to other “bill to” names or shipment types.
As a general rule, a PGL rate quote will be issued for an initial 30-day term. Unless otherwise stated in writing, the quote is subject to increase after the initial 30-day period. However, if no shipments are moved under the quoted rate within 30 days, PGL reserves the right to cancel the rate. .
Our customer must specify the “bill to” name and shipment specifics at the time the request for transportation services is placed in order to be eligible for transportation under the active rate issued for that “bill to” name and shipment type. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
2.1.5 Notification
of Changes to Rates and Charges |
|
| |
PGL reserves the right to change rates and charges without notice unless a written agreement to the contrary has been made. It is PGL’s practice to provide customers with a minimum advance notice of five (5) days prior to an increase in rates and charges.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
2.1.6 Confidentiality
of Rate Quotes |
|
| |
All rate quotes that we issue are confidential. Our customer is not permitted to disclose or make available our rate quotes to persons or entities other than its employees and agents who need to know the rate quotes to perform their transportation-related obligations. During the time that the PGL rate quote remains outstanding and in effect, neither PGL nor our customer will disclose to persons or entities outside our respective organizations any confidential information obtained from the other party in connection with the issuance of a rate quote, including the rate levels, expected volume of traffic and origins and destinations. These confidentiality restrictions will not apply to information that is generally available to the public, that is independently developed by a party without use of the other party’s information, that was known to a party before disclosure by the other party, or that is obtained from another source without violation of any confidentiality obligations.
|
|
| |
2.2.
NO INTERMEDIATE POINT
|
|
| |
Rates are from the origin to destination stated. Rates cannot be applied to or from intermediate points on the route from the stated origin to destination. Rates cannot be used in connection with stopping a shipment in transit at intermediate points for partial loading or unloading.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
2.3.
RESTRICTIONS ON RATES
|
|
| |
Rates are valid only for the specific customer and shipment type (i.e., commodity, origin/destination and equipment size/type) quoted. You are not allowed to substitute different shipment types at the quoted rate level without PGL’s written authorization. In addition, the rates only cover the services described in the rate quote. Additional charges may apply for services requested/performed in addition to those services included in the initial quote. Some of these services are described in Section 2.5 of these Terms and Conditions. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
2.4. CONSEQUENCES
OF MISAPPLICATION OF RATES OR MISDECLARED SHIPMENTS |
|
| |
If it is determined that the commodities actually shipped via PGL are not those described in the shipping instructions, the customer must pay the transportation rates and all per diem and other charges based upon the commodities actually shipped. Misdeclared shipments also include shipments tendered for movement under a rate quote that does not apply to that shipment and empty containers tendered for movement as loaded. In addition to all other charges that may apply to that shipment or are assessed against it, and without limiting other remedies available to it, PGL may assess and the customer will pay a $1,000 administrative charge for each misdeclared shipment and any additional charges or penalties assessed by the underlying transportation providers in connection with the misdeclared shipment. Shipments of hazardous materials, restricted commodities or prohibited commodities that are not declared as such are subject to greater misdeclaration charges assessed by PGL and the underlying transportation providers. If misdeclarations continue, PGL reserves the right to cancel the customer’s rate quotes and refuse to provide service.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
2.5. STANDARD
ACCESSORIAL MATRIX |
|
| |
In addition to the linehaul rates, the transportation services are subject to the following charges for additional services. The intermodal accessorial matrix below applies to accessorial services incurred in connection with intermodal transportation. The highway accessorial matrix below applies to accessorial services incurred in connection with highway transportation. PGL will endeavor to provide notice when driver detention charges are incurred, but unless otherwise agreed to by PGL in a written agreement signed by our authorized representative, PGL will not be required to provide notice of any other accessorial charges. Upon your written request or if agreed to in a written agreement signed by our authorized representative, PGL will provide you with a periodic report showing the number of days that trailers or containers have been used by you and subject to per diem or storage charges. PGL may provide notice of these charges by facsimile, EDI, e-mail, telephone or by website posting. PGL may also agree with you to provide such notice by another method. The customer will be responsible for the following accessorial charges to the extent incurred, whether or not PGL provides any notice of them.

Unless we have agreed otherwise in a written agreement signed by our authorized representative, we assess a fuel surcharge on transportation rates (as well as accessorial charges for stop-offs, reconsignments, redeliveries, equipment ordered not used and other charges involving actual tractor or train movement) based on the following matrices depending on the mode of transportation used.
INTERMODAL FUEL SURCHARGE
This fuel surcharge matrix is based on the DOE's National Average Diesel Fuel Index published by the Energy Information Administration every Monday. Revisions to this surcharge will occur the day after the DOE posts its weekly fuel index. The index is available on the Internet at www.eia.doe.gov.
The fuel surcharge will increase in 0.5% increments for every $0.04 increase in the DOE index should it exceed the table below. Fuel surcharges are shown as a separate line item on PGL’s invoice.

HIGHWAY FUEL SURCHARGE
This fuel surcharge matrix is based on the DOE's National Average Diesel Fuel Index published by the Energy Information Administration every Monday. Revisions to this surcharge will occur the day after the DOE posts its weekly fuel index. The index is available on the Internet at www.eia.doe.gov or from an automated information menu at (202) 927-9600.
The surcharge will be effective for loads dispatched Tuesday of that week through Monday of the following week. The surcharge will be calculated based on the origin point of the freight haul, which will be determined using the DOE PADD TABLES.
The fuel surcharge will increase 1¢ for every $0.05 increase in the DOE index should it exceed the table below. Fuel surcharges are shown as a separate line item on PGL’s invoice.
