7. Compensation and Accessorial Schedule: Carrier Compensation would be determined by the Agreed and Signed Rate Confirmation for the Standard Linehaul rate or all in rate only. Any additional compensation included but not limited to Detention, Layover, Driver Assist, Lumper, Late Fees etc would be impose by the Accessorial Schedule here unless until it is discussed, reviewed, agreed and Signed Clearly As a Line item in the Rate Confirmation Document Under Pickup or Delivery Section of the Rate Confirmation Document. Any Fine Print, Annotation or Annex in Rate Confirmation would be outweigh by this Accessorial schedule unless it is discussed, reviewed, agreed and Signed Clearly As a Line item in the Rate Confirmation Document. Inability to  Review the Accessorial Schedule would result a De facto agreement between Broker and Carrier and Carrier assume the right to Bill, Invoice and Collect the Accessorial fees As Per the Schedule here in 7.1 to 7.7 unless it is Reviewed and disagreed by the Broker after signing the Rate Confirmation Document by the Carrier.

7.1 Carrier Would Bill Detention Pay After 2 hours of Hold in a Shipper or Receiver’s Location at a rate of 40$/hour at 15 min Fraction to its multiple of total hours from between Check In and Check Out Time. Maximum hours of Detention is 6 hours on a 8hours continuous hold, beyond that Layover Changes would apply by 7.1-7.7 schedule. In and event of FCFS or Work-in facility 3hours would be standard Schedule for Detention. For Late or Early Arrival 4 hours would be Standard Detention cut off.

7.2 For Multi Pick or Drop the Detentions Pay would be calculated after the total Stops x 2 hours increment FCFS/Work-In detention schedule does not Apply. Additional Stoppage Charge is 100$ per Stoppage plus the miles run at 2.25$/miles all miles at a min 150$ per Stoppage. Moreover, Detention for beyond 2 hours Load/Unload time and Layover Charges May Applies as Not Agreed on the Rate Confirmation as a Linehaul item as per 7.1-7.7 schedule. 

7.3 Standard Layover Pay is Determined at min 350$ for the First Day and Nonnegotiable amount of 750$ per Consecutive day for the Same Load Lifecycle to compensate the time and opportunity loss and cover the cost of running a Active and Safe Company to Cover Driver Pay, Insurance, Equipment Rent, IRP and Other Operating Cost.

7.4 Driver Assist is 100$/hour and its multiple at a 15min increment but not recommended unless it is that necessary to deliver the load on time. However, Detention Schedule would also Apply on top of Driver Assist Pay if both Applicable i.e Delivery Takes More than two Hours. For the Denied Product Disposal would be 50$ min Processing Fees, would be calculated prorated per mile 2.25$ and additional cost of disposal, Restoration, Recycle or return would be charged and wait time for instruction would be charge as detention schedule. TONU, Truck Order Not Used are a fixed cost of 250$ Plus the Detained Hours and the Mile Driven to Shipper would be charge at 2.25$/mile. Force Truck Wash and Required Scale Ticket required to reimburse at a full amount if required to haul the load, however, Unhygienic trailer wash is exempt from the reimburse and carrier would take the action to qualify to haul that specific product. Escott service fee need to be reimburse to its full amount. Load Supporting/Securing equipment and accessories are Carrier responsibility i.e padlock, Seal, Tie, Load Bars, Straps etc. 

7.5 Lumper are recommended to pay by the Full Amount by the Broker as We assume No responsibility as a carrier for Unloading the Freight from the Vehicle/Trailer. Any Associated Processing fee, Money Code Issuance Fee or that sort would be paid by the Broker. In case Carrier are required to involved to Pay or Participate to Pay Lumper, Carrier would Bill extra 5% on top of the Total Amount paid for Service for Factoring and Payment Processing Service Fees.

7.6 Carrier would be liable for Late fee, and fine for not accepting tracking geolocation if Agreed in a written communication as a Specific line item and Broker has to communicate as written form of communication apart form the Rate Confirmation Fine Print, Annex, Annotation. It has to communicate Clearly and get acceptance form the Carrier as a separate Line item. Blending this as a general note with other general information would result denial of penalty and we highly recommend to get confirmation. Carrier Assume no responsibility if unable to comply due to Break Down, Weather, Road Hazard or Technology malfunction like out of coverage are for Geo Tracking etc. Carrier Assume Responsibility to Communicate with broker as early as possible or immediately after the incident and failure to establish effective communication would result responsibility. Partial Job would be evaluated and Agreed before any party assume rights to Apply or deduct full Amount or certain amount without a written and signed agreement i.e 50% rate cut for missing scale ticket etc.

7.7 Any Additional Payment except detention need to be mentioned on the updated Rate Confirmation before completing the job and Detention Approval need to update on the Rate Con within 48hours of POD submittal.
