TARIFF APPLICATION: In an effort to provide its customers with quality service at competitive rates, certain commodities may be offered to be shipped at less than full value. To ensure customers are fully aware of this and all terms and conditions applicable to their shipments, Saia encourages shippers to review Item 108 and other applicable items of the Saia 170D series rules tariff. Note that, in exchange for the competitive pricing provided by Saia, some items may be subject to limitations of liability, released values or other options specific to a shipment or a commodity. Customers should carefully review Item 108 of this tariff to understand these limitations as well as options for selecting increased liability limits. Customers are further encouraged to evaluate their cargo insurance program so they may tender their goods at the lowest possible overall cost while still being insured for a value consistent with their requirements.

ITEM 108 CARRIER LIABILITY FOR CARGO LOSS & DAMAGE CLAIMS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
This Item describes Saia's liability for cargo loss and damage claims and limitations that apply to that liability. Saia's liability and limitations on that liability will vary based on the type of goods shipped, the packaging of the goods, and the pricing selected by the customer. Saia offers its customers options for selecting higher limits of liability, in exchange for additional charges. Customers are encouraged to review this item carefully and to evaluate all options, including the purchase of insurance from independent insurers, to protect their freight.
1. CARGO LOSS & DAMAGE CLAIM FILING
Saia will assume liability for cargo loss and damage claims under the Carmack Amendment to the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C. § 14706 et seq. and other applicable federal laws and regulations governing the interstate transportation of freight in effect on the date of the shipment and under the terms and conditions of the Uniform Straight Bill of Lading, except as shown herein, or to the extent otherwise expressly provided in participating tariffs or contracts. The Carmack Amendment and the Uniform Straight Bill of Lading will apply on all shipments, whether interstate, intrastate, or overseas, unless the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act applies by virtue of any contract or authorized bill of lading or by operation of law. To the extent that the provisions of the Carmack Amendment conflict with any provisions of the Uniform Straight Bill of Lading or of this Rules Tariff, such conflicting provisions of the Carmack Amendment are expressly waived pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 14101(b). Saia's liability for cargo loss and damage begins upon signing the receipt or bill of lading for property it receives for transportation and ends when delivery is completed or when cargo is tendered for
Effective: February 15, 2021
Page: 9
SAIA SERIES 170-D RULES TARIFF
delivery. Saia will investigate and dispose of cargo loss and damage claims as set forth in 49 C.F.R. Part 370, and NMF 100 Series, Items 300100 through 300155.
The following additional rules apply:
A. All claims for loss, damage or destruction must be filed in writing or online by visiting www.saia.com within nine months after delivery or, for nondelivery claims, within nine months after the date of the bill of lading. When claims are not filed within the prescribed times, such claims shall be barred and not paid. Purported claims that do not comply with the requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 370 will not be considered valid claims.
B. Any lawsuits for cargo claims shall be instituted against Saia no later than two years from the day when written notice is given by Saia to the claimant that it has disallowed the claim or any part or parts of the claim specified in such notice. Where claims are not filed or lawsuits instituted thereon in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Saia shall not be liable and such cargo claims will not be paid. A claim shall be considered denied when any response other than an allowance of the claim in its entirety is transmitted.
C. Customer shall not deduct or offset any cargo claim or other alleged claim or debt of Carrier from the charges owed to Carrier unless authorized in writing by Carrier.
2. LIMITATIONS ON DAMAGES
Saia shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or delay caused by an act of God, the public enemy, the governing authorities, the inherent vice of the goods, or the act or default of the shipper, riots or strikes, any related causes, or any other cause recognized by law as relieving the Carrier's liability.
In no case shall Saia be liable, and it hereby disclaims responsibility for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or multiplied damages or other indirect costs, economic loss, penalties, lost profits, fees, interest, or charges of any kind arising from any freight claims filed hereunder or any other acts, including delays or omissions of Saia, whether foreseeable, disclosed or not.
Saia agrees to accept, transport, and deliver such merchandise as Customer may tender to Carrier for transportation in the regular course of Carrier's providing transportation services. Saia shall not be responsible for any damages, direct, indirect or consequential, which are the result of delays in delivery.
Customer shall, at its cost and expense, comply with all applicable federal, state, local and International laws, rules and regulations pertaining to its shipments and shall be responsible for all costs, liabilities, delays, fines and expenses caused by, resulting from or otherwise associated with any noncompliance by Customer or Customer's shipments with any such laws, rules, or regulations. Customer shall also be responsible for Carrier's charges pertaining to any services by Carrier at Customer's request for compliance with any such laws, rule or regulations.

3. GENERAL LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND NOTES
This item explains the overall liability limits and conditions established by Carrier for all shipments tendered to it for transportation. All parts of Item 108 are subject to 1 through 6 below. Other provisions of Item 108 apply where made applicable by their terms.
1- Whether applicable to new, used, or reconditioned articles, and regardless of NMFC released, declared or actual value provisions, Carrier's liability for any loss, damage, theft, or destruction of freight shall not exceed the least of the following:
A. The actual cost of the goods supported by a certified copy of the original invoice;
B. The cost of replacement or repair of the lost or damaged cargo;
C. The lowest limited liability amount specified in the Bill of Lading, the NMFC, any applicable contract governing the shipment, any applicable tariff governing the shipment, any applicable limitation of liability established by any law of Canada or Mexico or any state or province of Canada or Mexico, or Saia's Rules Tariff Series170- D herein;
D. For shipments subject to the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, $500 per package or customary freight unit;
E. $50,000 per shipment.
2- In all cases released values will be based on a per-item or article basis. Liability limitations based on weight will not be determined based on the weight of the packaging of the entire shipment nor the entire weight of the commodity in question but only on the damaged portion of the cargo. Furthermore, the weight of the packaging and/or shipping container, pallets, skids and the like shall not be included when determining maximum liability.
3- Items described in NMFC and shipped under RELEASED VALUE provisions will be subject to the maximum released value listed in the NMFC depending on the class listed at time of the shipment. When the NMFC offers the Consignor or Consignee the option to declare an actual, declared, or released value on the Bill of Lading and such valuation is NOT declared by the Consignor or Consignee and the shipment is inadvertently accepted by the carrier, charges will be assessed based on the lowest available released value.
4- Failure to describe articles as USED on the original Bill of Lading will not affect the application of this item 108 Section 8-9.
5- FULL VALUE COVERAGE IN THE FORM OF INSURANCE IS OFFERED IN THIS ITEM 108 PER SECTION 8. ANY AND ALL INSURANCE OFFERED HEREIN IS PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTY INSURERS AND NOT BY SAIA. SAIA IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF PROVIDING OR SELLING INSURANCE BUT MERELY OBTAINS SUCH INSURANCE FOR THE BENEFIT OF ITS CUSTOMER WHEN REQUESTED BY THE CUSTOMER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ITEM 108. ANY AND ALL INSURANCE OFFERED HEREIN IS SUBJECT TO THE MAXIMUMS ESTABLISHED BY SECTION 8 OF THIS ITEM 108. ANY EFFORT TO
Effective: February 15, 2021
Page: 11
SAIA SERIES 170-D RULES TARIFF
REQUEST INSURANCE OR DECLARE A VALUE IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUMS ALLOWED IN THIS TARIFF IS NULL AND VOID, AND THE ACCEPTANCE FOR CARRIAGE OF ANY SHIPMENT BEARING A REQUEST FOR INSURANCE OR A DECLARED VALUE IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUMS ALLOWED DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS TARIFF AS TO SUCH SHIPMENT. SHIPMENTS THAT ARE INADVERTENTLY ACCEPTED THAT EXCEED THESE LIMITATIONS WILL BE CAPPED AT THE MAXIMUMS ESTABLISHED BY THIS TARIFF AND CHARGES ASSESSED ACCORDINLY.
6- For special rules governing flatbed shipments, see Item 1046.
4. SHRINK WRAPPED PALLETS
A. General
Shipments tendered to Saia on a plastic shrink wrapped pallet/skid, shall be signed for as _____ shrink wrapped skid(s), _____ Shrink wrapped pallet(s), _____ SWP, or ____ SWS, ____ SWP UTC, or ____ SWP STC. When a plastic shrink wrapped skid is delivered to the consignee intact, with the plastic shrink wrap unbroken, Saia shall assume no liability for loss or damage discovered therein, either at delivery or after delivery has been performed. Pallets are only considered to be not intact at time of delivery if there is a written exception indicating the number of pallets and that they were not intact.
Except as otherwise specifically stated, rates, and charges dependent on price per pallet or skid named in tariffs, in contracts and all other supporting correspondence or documentation shall be limited to pallets or skids not exceeding 40"X48"X84". The driver will sign only for the number of pallets, not the number of pieces. A driver's signature that purports to sign for a number of pieces shall be ineffective to establish that Saia actually received that number of pieces.
Pallets that exceed the maximum weight stated in item or contract will be rated as additional pallet. The total weight of the shipment will be divided by the highest maximum weight to determine number of pallets.
Unless otherwise specified within the items or contract, Saia calculates pallet weight as 50 pounds per pallet.
B. Delivery Service Distribution Centers requiring unattended delivery including but not limited
to Amazon.Com, Costco, Sam's Club, Target or Wal-Mart Distribution Centers
All shipments to Distribution Centers requiring unattended delivery, including but not limited to Amazon.com, Costco, Sam's Club or Wal-Mart Distribution Centers, or retail locations must be palletized and shrink wrapped for unattended unloading at delivery. Shipments accepted as pieces tendered on pallets and transported on pallets by Saia will be tendered for delivery on pallets with shrink wrap intact. Subsequent shortage claims will not be accepted if shrink wrap was intact and the correct number of pallets was delivered to the Amazon.com, Costco, Sam's Club, or Wal-Mart Distribution Center or retail location. The delivery receipts must have a notation of pallets not intact or freight will be considered intact.
Effective: February 15, 2021

SAIA SERIES 170-D RULES TARIFF
5. UNDELIVERED FREIGHT
Undelivered shipments will be subject to applicable storage or detention storages if no reply is received from attempts to notify the shipper. See Saia Tariff Item 910 for explanation of applicable storage charges.
6. SHIPPER LOAD OR CONSIGNEE UNLOAD
In lieu of pick up or delivery service and when convenient for Customer and Carrier, Customer may load/unload Carrier's trailers or vehicles. See Saia Tariff Item 1039 for conditions unless a separate agreement is already established and signed in place.
7. GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY FOR NEW ITEMS (Subject to Section 3)
Cargo is considered NEW only if (a) it is tendered for transportation directly from manufacturing facility, and (b) it remains in its original box, carton, or shipping container, and (c) it has never been removed from the manufacturer's original packaging. Except as provided in Section 8 herein (FULL VALUE COVERAGE) or as otherwise provided herein, Saia's maximum liability for loss, damage, or destruction to all or any part of a shipment of NEW articles while in the Carrier's possession within the points in the U.S. shall be limited to $5.00 per pound per package or $50,000.00 per shipment, whichever is lower.
8. FULL VALUE COVERAGE (Subject to Section 3)
This section describes options available to customers who desire liability coverage in excess of those limitations described within Item 108. Customers should review this section carefully to understand their options for increased liability coverage.
Saia makes available, through third-party insurers, full value coverage at rates provided herein, which are subject to change. The full value coverage option is protection against "All Risk" of physical loss or damage to the cargo from any external cause only and completely replaces the level of carrier liability otherwise established within Item 108 subject to rules and exceptions indicated herein. To obtain full value coverage, Shipper must properly request full value coverage by following the procedure set forth in this Section 8, and Shipper must declare an "Invoice Value" for the shipment on which full value coverage is requested. "Covered Value" is defined as the sum of the amount of invoice value presented on the request by the Shipper for new or used items, plus freight charges, plus 10% (invoice value + freight charges + 10%) and always subject to limitations and rules set for in this Section 8.
A. Rates: Where full value coverage is properly requested, Carrier will impose, and Shipper or the Payor of freight charges must pay, within terms, the following charges (in addition to all other charges incurred):
(a) A rate of $0.70 per $100 of invoice value subject to a $53.00 MINIMUM CHARGE PER SHIPMENT only for shipments traveling within or between the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico), Canada, and Mexico, provided the cargo moves under a Saia bill of lading indicating a request for full value coverage.
Effective: February 15, 2021
Page: 13
SAIA SERIES 170-D RULES TARIFF
(b) For shipments not covered within subsection (a) above, Shipper should contact Carrier, in advance of shipment, for pricing of full value coverage.
Example 1: If customer requests full value coverage of $25,000.00 invoice value, the customer must note FULL VALUE COVERAGE AT $25,000.00 at least one inch in height on the BOL. The Full Value charge will be $175.00.
Full Value charge= $25,000.00 X .7%= $175.00
Example 2: If customer requests full value coverage of $1500.00 invoice value the customer must note FULL VALUE COVERAGE AT $1500.00 at least one inch in height on the BOL. The Full Value charge will be $53.00 minimum charge.
Full Value charge = $1500.00 x.7% = $10.50 thus minimum of $53.00
B. Maximum Coverage: The Full Value coverage is protection against "All Risk" of physical loss or damage to the cargo from any external cause only and completely replaces the level of carrier liability otherwise established within Item 108 subject to the following rules and maximums:
(a.) New and Used Goods supported by invoice: The limit of covered value for new or used goods is $250,000.00 per shipment, $500,000.00 per one land conveyance, or $1,000,000.00 in any one place at any one time or in any one disaster or accident unless otherwise agreed to in writing in advance of shipment. Lower limits apply to household goods, personal effects, excluded goods, and shipments to Mexico.
(b.) Household Goods and Personal Effects: The limit of covered value for Household Goods and personal effects is $1000.00 per any one carton, package, box, or crate subject to all the following rules:
(i) Cargo must be properly packed for transport (ii) An itemized inventory must provide a value and contents per carton,
package, box or crate. (iii) Each carton, package, box, or crate must be numbered and number
must correlate to the inventory list.
(c.) Shipments from the United States to Mexico: The limit of covered value for shipments from the United States to Mexico, is: $50,000.00 per shipment or $300,000.00 per any one land conveyance or in any one place at any one time or in any one disaster or accident unless otherwise agreed to in writing in advance of shipment.
C. Exclusions: The following are not eligible for recovery under full value coverage. Damages arising from:
Effective: February 15, 2021

Effective: February 15, 2021
Page: 15
SAIA SERIES 170-D RULES TARIFF
(a) For goods valued at more than $250,000, request Full Value coverage in writing prior to tendering goods to Carrier, and Carrier must agree in writing to provide such coverage and provide a quote number that must be entered on the Bill of Lading in addition to writing on the Bill of Lading, in clearly visible and legible manner in print or type at least 1 inch in height, "FULL VALUE COVERAGE QUOTE # and $________ (invoice value)" OR
(b) For goods valued at $250,000.00 or less, write on the Bill of Lading, in a clearly visible and legible manner in print or type at least 1 inch in height, "FULL VALUE COVERAGE" AND
(c) Provide, on the Bill of Lading, the Invoice Value of the goods for which coverage is requested AND
(d) Pay, within applicable payment terms, such charges as Carrier imposes for Full Value coverage.
Unless Shipper complies with all requirements, Carrier will not be liable for full value coverage. Please note: Declaring a Value alone on a Bill of Lading, without following the other procedures specified herein, is NOT a substitute for Full Value Coverage.
E. General Rules for Full Value Coverage:
a) Coverage commences from the time Carrier takes possession of the goods and continues in force during the ordinary and customary course of transit to the final destination. Final destination is the place of business of consignee as per the bill of lading.
b) Coverage described herein remains in force up to the time of a signed delivery, at which time coverage ceases. Concealed damages must be reported to customer service at Saia Motor Freight Line LLC at 1-800-950-7242 within 15 days of delivery. Moving or transporting the cargo from one location to another by car, truck, rail, or any other means after it has been delivered to consignee voids full value coverage.
c) Shortages must be reported at delivery or same day as delivery.
d) All product must he held until claim is finalized and be available for inspection.
e) Shipper may not request full value coverage after goods are tendered to Carrier.
f) Full Value coverage replaces all levels of Carrier cargo liability provided under Item 108 in their entirety and replaces contractual provisions governing Carrier's liability.
g) All claims for cargo loss or damage, including all proper supporting documentation required by 49 CFR Part 370, must be received by Saia within nine (9) months of the date of delivery or, if not delivered, the date delivery should have occurred.
h) All lawsuits must be filed against Saia no later than two (2) years day from the

original written declination.
i) With respect to Ocean conveyance shipments only, this additional coverage is available only on shipments that are conveyed by Approved Ocean Carriers. Approved Ocean Carriers are defined as operating vessels maintained in class, excluding barges, being regular line iron or steel steamers or motor vessels operating in regular trade less than 25 years old.
j) U.S. Economic and Trade Sanctions: Whenever coverage provided by this Policy would be in violation of any U.S. economic or trade sanctions such as, but not limited to, those sanctions administered and enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), such coverage shall be null and void. Similarly, any coverage relating to or referred to in any certificates or other evidences of insurance or any claim that would be in violation of U.S. economic or trade sanctions as described above shall also be null and void.
k) Charges for full value coverage will not be voided or refunded under any circumstances, including, but not limited to instances when Carrier refunds or voids freight charges due to service failures.
l) Invoice value is defined as the total amount of the invoice supplied to the purchaser of the goods. Underinsuring will fall under a co-insurance situation and will impact claim recovery on a prorated basis even if repaired.
m) To recover the additional 10% above invoice value when claiming a complete loss of product, the 10% amount must be stated as a separate line item on the claim form. There is no 10% above invoice value recovery for goods that are not a total loss (i.e. repaired goods).

(a) Cargo is considered NEW only if (i) it is tendered for transportation directly from the manufacturing facility, and (ii) it remains in its original box, carton, or shipping container, and (iii) has never been removed from the manufacturer's original packaging. All cargo not considered NEW under this definition is considered USED, even if it has not actually been used for the intended purposes; OR

10. [RESERVED]
11. [RESERVED]
12. LIABILITY FOR SHIPMENTS OUTSIDE THE U.S. (Subject to Section 3)
For shipments requiring Customs clearance, the Shipper, Consignee, Third Party, Broker and/or Agent is responsible for complying with all applicable domestic and international treaties, laws, government regulations, orders or requirements including but not limited to customs and import laws and regulations of any country to, from, through or over which the shipment may be carried and agrees to furnish such information and complete such documents as are necessary to comply with such treaties, laws, regulations, orders or requirements. Under no circumstances will the Carrier be liable for failure to comply with such provisions.
LIABILITY - MEXICO
For shipments moving from or to points in Mexico, Saia advises its customer that it will transport shipments destined to Mexico to the border most convenient to Saia, or to the closest border place to destination, and will interchange the shipment to a Mexican carrier for delivery in Mexico. Saia shall accept bills of lading showing a destination in Mexico as being amended to show destination of the Mexican border interchange point. Saia, as a motor carrier, provides no actual service in Mexico. Therefore, should the shipper tender a shipment on a bill of lading with a Mexican destination, Saia will act solely as a shipper's agent in arranging interchange with a Mexican carrier at the border to deliver the shipment under the Mexican carrier's bill of lading to its ultimate destination. The shipper MUST look solely to the Mexican carrier should loss, damage, or delay occur in Mexico or in possession of the designated Brokers, Freight Forwarders, or Mexican carrier. Except as provided in Section 8 of this item (FULL VALUE COVERAGE), Saia's liability for loss, damage, or destruction to all or any part of a shipment that has been SHIPPED TO/FROM MEXICO shall be the lesser of the following:
a) If loss or damage occurs to a shipment while within the Border of Mexico, or at Border Gateway of Mexico, liability shall be limited to 10 cents per pound per package, the applicable limitation of liability provided by Mexican law, or $500.00 per shipment; whichever is lowest.
b) If loss or damage occurs to a shipment within the Border of the U.S. and not a Border Gateway of Mexico, the Carrier's U.S. domestic liability limitations will apply. Carrier's maximum liability will not exceed the lesser of the actual value supported by a certified copy of the original invoice, not to exceed the limitations and exclusions as detailed in Item 108 herein.

i. Accidents or Acts of God, or from any other reasonable cause that is beyond Saia's control;

16. FREIGHT LIABLE TO DAMAGE OTHER FREIGHT OR EQUIPMENT
Carriers are not obligated to receive and transport freight liable to impregnate or otherwise damage other freight or Carrier's equipment. Such freight may be accepted and signed for "subject to delay for suitable equipment" or may, for lack of suitable equipment, be refused.
Any commodity that causes damage to other freight will result in liability to the shipper for damage caused to Carrier's equipment or to other freight.
17. TERMS CHANGE AFTER OS&D DELIVERY
Saia reserves the right to deny a change of terms to a freight bill after an OS&D delivery exception has occurred. If the request is inadvertently accepted after the exception, Saia reserves the right to revert to the original terms of the shipment.
18. PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS
Where packaging requirements are not otherwise provided by tariff or contract, the packaging requirements of NMFC will apply. Where packaging requirements are provided in this tariff, rates provided therewith will apply only when the article or articles are packaged in accordance with such packaging requirements, except that rates subject to such packaging requirements will apply also when the article or articles so packaged as required are placed on pallets.
It is the responsibility of the shipper/consignor to ensure that proper packaging is used and that contents of packages are adequately and securely packaged, wrapped, and cushioned for transportation.

SAIA SERIES 170-D RULES TARIFF
employment of competent salvage agent. Carrier shall dispose of the property only in a manner that will fairly and equally protect the best interests of all persons having an interest thereon. Carrier shall make an itemized record sufficient to identify the property involved so as to be able to correlate it to the shipment or transportation involved, and claim, if any, filed thereon. Carrier shall also assign to each lot of such property a successive lot number and note that lot number on its record of shipment and claim, if any claim is filled thereon.
(B) Upon receipt of a shipment on which salvage has been processed in the manner prescribed, Carrier shall record on its claim file thereon the lot number assigned, the amount of money recovered, if any, from the disposition of such property, and the date of transmittal of such money to the person or persons lawfully entitled to receive the same.
(C) To the extent that the Shipper asserts that the goods should be destroyed for any reason, Carrier remains entitled to the salvage value the goods would have generated had the goods been salvaged instead of destroyed.
21. FOOD ITEMS
For food, food-related items, medical supplies, drugs, and toiletries, Carrier shall not be liable unless actual damage to the freight itself (and not damage only to the packaging or potential or suspected damage to the freight) is proven.
If shipper transports items covered under any food, drug or cosmetics legislation, law, statute, code and or regulation which requires rejection or destruction of the entire shipment because the items "are or may be contaminated" under the definition of the legislation, shipper must clearly indicate on the bill of lading that carton and/or packaging damage may contaminate product.
Full value coverage above the maximum carrier liability limits shown in this item are available in accordance with provisions of Section 8 of this item.
If the consignor has given the carrier notice on the bill of lading as required above, carrier's liability for loss, damage, or destruction to any shipment or part thereof is limited in accordance with the terms of this Item 108.
In the event that shipper requires that any freight subject to this section be destroyed without a showing of actual damage, Carrier will be entitled to a salvage offset for the actual value of the freight when tendered for delivery by Carrier.
22. UNATTENDED DELIVERY
When shipper, broker, or consignee requests that freight be delivered at an unattended location or be delivered without signature by the consignee, Carrier is not liable for loss, damage, theft, or destruction that occurs after Carrier delivers freight, and Carrier's delivery receipt signed by driver will constitute evidence of delivery in good condition.
23. RETURNED GOODS
Liability for loss, damage or destruction of property being returned to the original shipper, which was not initially transported by Saia from the original shipper, will be limited to lost freight only and Saia will not be responsible for damages.

ii. To determine the density of a cylindrical shaped article or any article other than a square, elliptical or rectangular shaped article in a single plane, square the greatest dimension on the cylindrical or other than square, elliptical or rectangular plane (multiply the dimension by itself) and multiply that result by height or length. If result is in cubic inches, divide by 1,728 cubic inches (one cubic foot). The density shall be the result of the division of the weight of the article by the ascertained cubic feet.

ITEM 1039 SHIPPER LOAD OR CONSIGNEE UNLOAD
In lieu of pick up or delivery service and when convenient for Customer and Carrier, Customer may load/unload Carrier's trailers or vehicles, under the following conditions unless a separate agreement between Carrier and Customer applies:
A. SHIPPER LOAD - when prearranged with Carrier's local operations, Carrier will spot or drop trailer at that Shipper's loading facility so the Shipper may load the trailers or vehicles at its convenience. Any discrepancy on those shipments tendered under the Shipper Load and Count arrangement will be handled in the following manner unless a contract between Carrier and Shipper provides otherwise:
1. At pick-up, Carrier will include "SL&C" on the bill of lading, indicating the Shipper counted and loaded the shipment without Carrier's driver present. The shipper will properly block and brace the freight. Carrier's failure to note "SL&C" on the bill of lading will not affect the liabilities of the parties, if the Shipper has in fact performed the counting and loading without a representative from Carrier present.
2. Carrier will provide seals for security purposes to the Shipper when requested. Failure to seal a load will not affect the terms and conditions outlined.
3. Carrier will notify the Shipper's representative by fax or e-mail on a carrier approved form of any exceptions within 24 hours of first unloading of the pick up unit. This will not include weekends or holidays. Carrier cannot be liable for uncountable palletized orders, picked up and delivered with wrap intact.
4. Shortages will be reported as above by the handling unit count. The Shipper will advise Carrier disposition of any merchandise that could or should be applied to a valid shortage. In the event of a Shipper caused shortage, the Shipper will allow Carrier to adjust the Bill of Lading accordingly to reflect actual piece count and weight.
5. Carrier will accept liability for any loss or damage to product that has not been properly reported unless the loss or damage is one of a concealed nature or shortage is within the shipper wrapped pallet that was delivered intact. In this respect, any claim following will be settled based on the findings of the investigation.
6. Carrier can be responsible for handling units only as applicable and to the extent that a piece count cannot be verified. Individual item numbers, carton numbers, and purchase order number shortages at delivery shall not be deemed as shortages against Carrier when the handling unit count matches the amount properly reported as received on the SL&C trailer.
7. Carrier will not decline liability of claims just because the bill of lading is noted "SL&C". The burden is Carrier's to either provide a clear proof of delivery, a properly reported exception or payment of the claim. The Shipper agrees not to file claims when discrepancies have been properly reported.

5. Carrier will note CONSIGNEE UNLOAD on the delivery receipt, indicating that the Consignee unloaded and counted the shipments without Carrier's driver present. Carrier's failure to note CONSIGNEE UNLOAD on the delivery receipts will not affect the liabilities of the parties, if the Consignee has in fact performed the counting and unloading without a representative from Carrier present.
6. Carrier will provide sealed trailers with the Carrier's seal number documented for security purposes. Failure to seal a load will not affect the terms and conditions outlined in this item.
7. Delivery receipts will be signed by the Consignee at time the trailer is dropped for unloading, or if not operationally feasible, will be available to Carrier no more than 24 hours after delivery.
8. The Consignee agrees to notify Carrier by fax or email on the carrier delivery receipt or a pre-approved form of any exceptions within 24 hours of the trailer being dropped.

12. Shipments tendered to the Consignee to be unloaded at their convenience are to be secured by the Consignee in a manner to prevent theft. Carrier will not be held responsible for product stolen while in the possession of the Consignee.
13. Carrier agrees not to decline liability of claims just because the delivery receipt is noted CONSIGNEE UNLOAD. The burden is Carrier's to provide a clear proof of delivery when the documents are returned to the Carrier. It is the Consignee's responsibility to provide a properly reported discrepancy with dated fax confirmation for payment of the claim. The Consignee agrees not to file claims when discrepancies have not been properly reported.
14. Carrier will accept liability for any loss or damage to product that has been properly reported unless the loss or damage is one of a concealed nature. In this respect any claim following will be settled based on the findings of the investigation.
