Bill of Lading Terms & Conditions

Carrier shall be liable as at common law for any loss or damage to Shipment, except as hereinafter provided. Except for Carrier’s gross negligence, Carrier shall not be liable for any loss, damage or delay of Shipment outside of its control, including Acts of God, public enemy, authority of law, or default of Shipper.

(a) Carrier is not bound to transport Shipment by a specific vehicle or schedule, but is responsible to transport with reasonable dispatch.
(b) As a condition precedent to recovery, claims must be filed in writing within 30 days of delivery for loss/damage claims, or 120 days for overcharge/delay claims.
(c) Suit for loss or damage must be instituted within 1 year and 1 day from written disallowance notice.

Unless Shipper declares a higher value and pays insurance premiums, each Shipment is valued at $50.00. Prohibited items include coins, currency, precious gems, illegal narcotics, firearms, and hazardous materials.

If Consignee refuses Shipment, Carrier's responsibility becomes that of a warehouseman. Shipper and Consignee remain liable for freight and lawful charges accruing on Shipment.
