SECTION 1 - GENERAL RULES
APPLICABLE TO ALL TRAFFIC TYPES INDEX |
|
The rules in this Section are applicable to both Regulated and Exempt (Non-Regulated)Traffic
except as otherwise provided on Exempt Traffic in Section 2 herein.
The rules in Section 2 on Exempt Traffic take precedence over the rules in this Section 1.
RULE 190 -- OVERCHARGE, OVER COLLECTION, OR DUPLICATE PAYMENT CLAIM PROVISIONS
A. Claim Requirements, Time LimitsGRW will accept a whole or partial claim for overcharge, over collection, or duplicate payment, only if the claim is in writing and contains sufficient information for GRW to conduct an investigation, including the name of the claimant which must be the payor, his claim number, the amount of the claim, the original freight bill, freight bill payment information, and supporting documents which show, among other things, that GRW collected all of the charges at issue, and, in the case of overcharges, the rate, weight, commodity, description and supporting authority (quotation, etc.) claimed to be applicable. The claim must be filed within three (3) years of the date of delivery or tender of delivery by GRW or delivering rail carrier of the subject shipment.
B. Time Limits for Through MovementsWhere movements over GRW form a segment of a through movement involving other carriers and time limitations for filing overcharge claims differ among the carriers involved in the through movement, the time limitation contained in the comparable offering of the origin carrier will apply for overcharge claims against GRW.
RULE 200 -- CARRIER LIABILITY - LOSS AND DAMAGE TO LADING
Carriers will assume liability for loss and damage under the terms of 49 USC 11706 and the terms of the Uniform Bill of Lading as specified in Rule 120 herein. Where provisions maintained by other railroad parties to the through route differ from those provided herein, the liability assumed by the origin carrier will apply.
Except where inconsistent with the liability assumed by the origin rail carrier on a through route as provided for in the first paragraph of this Rule 200, no party shall file with GRW, and GRW shall have no responsibility for any claim for loss or damage to lading having a value of less than Two Hundred and Fifty dollars ($250.00) per claim.
