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.

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.

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.

However, Detention Schedule would also Apply on top of Driver Assist Pay if both Applicable i.e Delivery Takes More than two Hours.
