be assessed, in addition to all other lawfully applicable rates and charges,
for the service of unloading the freight and sorting and checking it for

BILLS OF LADING
All pricing agreements, pricing proposals or quotations offered by NPME are conditional on the use of the Uniform Straight Bill of Lading prescribed in the National Motor Freight Classification 100 Series (NMFC).
New Penn Motor Express certifies we are a participating carrier in the NMFC.
Copies of the NMFC prescribed bills of lading are available from NPME on request and without charge. Under Item 362 of the NMFC, the prescribed terms of those bills of lading may be varied only by a written agreement, separate for the bill of lading, and signed by the Director of Traffic for NPME.
The signature of a NPME driver on a bill of lading will not be construed as authority to change the bill of lading terms and conditions as prescribed by the NMFC.
BILLS OF LADING ‑ Corrected
Corrected Bills of Lading to change the freight charge collection status from prepaid to collect will not be accepted once the shipment has been delivered.
A corrected Bill of Lading to change the original transportation contract from PREPAID TO COLLECT will NOT be accepted if SECTION 7 (non‑recourse clause) of the corrected Bill of Lading has been signed by the consignor.
All shipments accepted by NPME are subject to the Uniform Bill of Lading as defined by the NMFC 100 Series.
BILLS OF LADING - Conflicting Terms &
Conditions
All rates, terms and conditions of transportation are subject to the rules of this schedule and by bills of lading of the NMFC. The only exception occurs when there is a written agreement, separate from the bill of lading, signed by an authorized representative of this company and the customer. For these purposes, a driver of this company is not an authorized representative and cannot negotiate rates or terms of service on behalf of the company.
If a customer uses a bill of lading other than the uniform bill of lading as shown in the NMFC, the driver’s signature only acknowledges the condition and receipt of the freight. It is not a contract for the carriage of freight.
BILLS OF LADING - Freight Bills and Statements of
Charges
When validation of
a Freight Bill is required as a prerequisite for payment of the freight charges
and consignee fails to validate the Freight Bill at time of delivery thus
requiring the carrier to resubmit the Freight Bill for validation, a charge of $11.90
will be assessed for that service (Note A).

PRECEDENCE OF RATES
SEC. 1. Commodity
Rates vs. Class Rates:
1) A truckload commodity rate removes the
application of a truckload class rate.
2) A less than truckload commodity rate removes
the application of a less than truckload class rate of the same quantity; or,
3) An any quantity commodity rate removes the
application of a less than truckload and truckload class rate, on the same
articles from and to the same points over the same route of the same carrier or
carriers, except when and insofar as alternative use of class and commodity
rates is specifically provided in the schedule containing such commodity rate.
SEC. 2 Exceptions
vs. Classification Classes:
(1) A truckload exception class removes the
application of a classification any quantity class when the minimum weight
requirement of the exception class is met or charged for; or,
(2) A less than truckload exception class
removes the application of a classification any quantity class on the same
quantity; or,
SEC. 3 Discounts
Except as otherwise provided, when a
shipment is subject to conflicting discount provisions and fuel surcharge(FSC),
the precedence of rates, discounts, allowances and fuel surcharge will be
determined as follows:
A. On freight prepaid shipments, the Shipper’s
pricing program will apply.
B. On freight collect shipments, the
Consignee’s pricing program will apply.

pricing program, NPME will apply a courtesy discount of 50% off of the current
572 S-7 and 573 series rates to the shipment.
C. Shipments for Third Party payment of freight
charges will be subject to the pricing program applicable for the Third Party payer
of the freight charges and will apply in precedence to any otherwise applicable
pricing program.

OR GUARANTEE OF CHARGES
Unless otherwise provided herein or in schedules subject hereto, shipments will be accepted subject to the following provisions:
SEC. 1. A prepaid shipment is one on which the charges for transportation service rendered at the request of the consignor, including charges for any accessorial services performed at the request of the consignor, are to be paid by the shipper.
SEC. 2. A collect shipment is one which the charges for transportation service, including accessorial services rendered at the request of the consignee or requested by the consignor for the consignee, are to be paid for by the consignee.
SEC. 3. A shipment on which charges are to be paid by a party other than the consignor or consignee will be accepted provided that the consignor has established credit with the carrier picking up the shipment at origin and guarantees to pay the charges if the third party fails to do so within the time allowed under the credit regulations of the Department of Transportation or state regulatory commission. Such a shipment will not be accepted if the consignor executes SECTION 7 of the Bill of Lading. If the carrier inadvertently accepts a shipment where SECTION 7 is executed the consignor will be responsible for freight charges if the third party fails to remit payment within the allowed credit regulations.
SEC. 4. If, in the judgement of the carrier picking up a shipment at origin, the forced sale of the goods would not realize the total charges due at destination, the shipment must be prepaid.
SEC. 5. If a shipment is required by SECTION 4 hereof or by any provision of
the NMFC to be prepaid, it will be accepted on a collect basis if the consignor
has established credit with the carrier picking up the shipment at origin and
the consignor guarantees to pay the charges if the consignee fails to do so
within the time allowed under the credit regulations of the Interstate Commerce
Commission or state regulatory commission. Such a shipment will not be accepted
as a collect shipment if the consignor executes SECTION 7 of the Bill of
Lading.
SEC. 6. No shipment for which a through rate is published will be accepted on
a partially prepaid or partially collect basis. When failure to comply with
this provision is discovered after the shipment has been tendered for
transportation, the entire charges, based on the applicable through rate, will
be assessed against the consignor.
SEC. 7. All freight charges on shipments destined to steamship piers must be
prepaid, except, shipments destined to steamship piers may be handled “Freight
Charges Collect” when the Bills of Lading and Shipping Orders show in the body
thereof, the name and address of the broker, agent or party from whom the

accompanying other articles, providing the shipper requests excess liability
coverage as provided below (subject to Note 7):
1. Articles
tendered with a destination value in excess of $25.00 per pound per package
will move subject to a maximum liability of $25.00 per pound, per package
unless the shipper requests on the face of the bill of lading excess liability
coverage. The maximum liability of any one shipment will not exceed $125,000.
Articles inadvertently accepted with a destination value exceeding $25.00 per
pound per package, but without excess coverage will be considered to have been released by the shipper at $25.00

not exceed $25.00 per pound per
package, subject to a maximum liability of $125,000 per shipment, unless the
shipper has requested excess liability
coverage.
2. If
shipper wishes to increase New Penn’s liability from the maximum stated in
(b)(1) of this item, the shipper must specifically request excess liability
coverage on the face of the bill of
lading as follows, merely declaring a destination value will not qualify for additional liability coverage:
"$_________________________________________________excess liability is
required."
New Penn will assess a charge of 100 cents per each $100 dollars of excess liability coverage requested, subject to a minimum charge per shipment of $45.00. Excess liability of will be limited to a maximum of $100,000 per shipment. Such charges are in addition to the lawful freight charges otherwise accruing to the shipment. Charges for excess liability are to be paid by the party responsible for payment of the freight charges.
EXAMPLE: Customer requesting $10,000
additional excess coverage would enter on the bill of lading as follows:
"$10,000 excess
liability coverage is required"
All loss and damage claims are subject to the provisions outlined in the Carmack Amendment, 49 U.S.C., Section 14706 and the Uniform Bill of Lading. New Penn does not hold itself out as an insurer regardless of whether excess liability coverage was purchased or not.

package authorized by the provisions of individual schedules or classification
items. When a number of packages have been unitized, strapped or otherwise fastened
together, or contained on pallets, platforms or skids, or have been over packed
in an additional complying package, the carrier's liability will be determined
by separately multiplying the weight of each individual package lost or damaged
"times" $25.00 and
not on the basis of the weight of the total number of packages unitized,
strapped or otherwise fastened together or contained on pallets, platforms or
skids, or over packed in an additional complying package.
NOTE 7 Articles
tendered with a destination value stated on the bill of lading at time of
shipment exceeding the actual or released value of the article(s) tendered as
provided in the NMF 100 Classification or reissues thereof and NPME 100
schedule will not qualify for excess liability coverage. A list of the
aforementioned articles including the lowest value and maximum value is as
follows:
For released value commodities as stated below, the consignor is required to declare a value of the goods on the bill of lading within the limits stated in the table below. Unless provided otherwise in individual schedule items, if the released value is not declared on the bill of lading the lowest released value that is stated below will apply.
