TRANSPORTATION SERVICE PROVIDER GENERAL INFORMATION

SECTION A

2 1. GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION 3

4 A. Purpose 5 6 This publication prescribes the procedures and requirements applicable to Transportation 7

Service Providers (TSP) providing commercial transportation and related services to the 8 Department of Defense (DOD) and other authorized users of the Defense Transportation 9 System (DTS). Services contained in this publication will not be interpreted as guarantee 10 by DOD or other authorized users of the DTS of any particular volume of traffic. 11 12

B. Application 13 14

Where reference is made to the Military Freight Traffic Unified Rules Publication—1 15 (MFTURP-1) in a TSP tender or rate agreement, the conditions, requirements, rules and 16

terms and conditions contained in this publication will govern the freight services of the 17 TSP’s tender, and will apply from, to, or between those points specified in the individual 18

tender. This is not to be construed as a setting of rates, rules or charges by DOD. TSP’s 19 tenders will not be made subject to any other publication for application of the rates or 20 charges therein. If any TSP or bureau published line-haul, rules, terminal services tariff, 21

service guide or other document is shown in a tender, the tender shall be rejected and 22 returned to the TSP. The MFTURP can be specifically incorporated in its entirety or in 23

section(s) in Federal Acquisition Regulation contracts or agreements. 24 25

C. Supersedes and Replaces 26 27

This publication supersedes the USTRANSCOM Air Freight Traffic Rules Publication 28 No. 5 (AFTRP No. 5) and the previous version of the SDDC Military Freight Traffic 29 Unified Rules Publication—1 (MFTURP-1), dated 24 October 2016. 30

31

D. Scope 32 33 This publication will not prevent different or additional requirements or terms or 34 conditions to apply for a particular shipment if the TO, the TSP, and the governing 35 command for the movement mode—USTRANSCOM (TCJ4-LC) for domestic air 36

shipments and SDDC for all other modes—agree to the specific change and the change is 37 not prohibited by statute, regulation, executive order, case-law or other applicable legal 38

authority. In those instances, the governing command for the movement mode shall 39 negotiate with the TSP to clarify requirements, rates structure, answer questions and 40 resolve discrepancies. The TSP will submit a negotiated 500,000 series tender. 41 42 43

44 45 46

48 49 1. It does not include the transportation of: 50

51 a. Shipments moving in courier service. 52

53 b. Perishable Subsistence Shipments (Perishable Subsistence TSP Rate Tenders and 54 Service Agreements), administered by Defense Supply Center, Philadelphia (DSCP). 55 56

c. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contracts, to include the General Services 57

Administration (GSA) and Next Generation Delivery Service (NGDS) /DoD Freight 58 Transportation Services (DFTS) contracts, unless the publication is specifically 59 incorporated into the contract or agreement. 60

61 2. The words in this agreement shall be construed simply according to their fair and plain 62 meanings, and not strictly for or against either party. 63 64

3. If any provision in this publication is capable of two constructions, one of which 65 would make the provision void and the other of which would make the provision valid, 66

then the provision shall have the meaning that makes it valid. 67 68

E. Precedence 69 70 When rules, charges or other requirements are negotiated (including FAR Based 71

Contracts and Spot Bid) that differ from or conflict with this publication and the intent of 72 the parties is to modify the requirements of this publication as they apply for a particular 73

movement, the negotiated terms will apply to only the specific movement. 74 75

F. Successive Regulations 76 77 Tariffs, items, notes, or rules referenced in this publication will include supplements and 78

successive issues. If any rule, regulation or provision is cancelled or becomes 79 inapplicable, the last published regulation will govern. 80 81

G. Definitions 82 83 For definitions of certain terms referenced throughout this publication, see Appendix D. 84 85

SECTION A

233 4. A TSP cannot submit a Transportation Protective Service (TPS) request to handle 234

AA&E commodities or other TPS shipments until they have served DOD in an approved 235 status for 12 continuous months. Application does not guarantee authorization to provide 236 TPS. Granting of TPS authorization is based on the Government’s best interests. 237 238 5. All TSPs who receive shipment awards shall be required to move and accept cargo 239

under a non-negotiable standardized DOD generated commercial BL that conforms to the 240 Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR) 4500.9R Part II, Cargo Movement, Chapter 241 206, and the U.S. Federal Bill of Lading Act. TSPs will utilize their own commercial BLs 242 when authorized (e.g. when transportation systems are inoperable, during holidays and/or 243 weekends, and have no access to transportation personnel), also package express 244

shipments are excluded) upon approval of SDDC G3 or USTRANSCOM TCJ5/4-LC 245

Commercial Services Branch for domestic air shipments. Shippers should be advised 246

that additional carrier or Government required paperwork (e.g. U.S. export 247 documentation) might be required to accompany the international/domestic shipment. 248

Shippers furnishing supporting documents, contract data, or other information to TSPs 249 are responsible for their accuracy. 250

251 6. Performance Bonds. 252 253

a. TSPs are required to submit a performance bond. The performance bond securs 254 performance and fulfillment of TSP obligations to deliver DOD freight. It will cover any 255

instance where a TSP cannot or will not deliver DOD freight tendered to them. This 256 includes default, abandoned shipments, and bankruptcy by the TSP. The bond will not be 257

utilized for operational problems such as late pickup or delivery, excessive transit times, 258 refusals, no shows, improper/inadequate equipment, payment of subcontractors, or claims 259

for lost or damaged cargo. Trust funds and letters of credit are not accepted in lieu of 260

the bond. 261

262 b. Motor common, broker, freight forwarders, Logistic Management Companies, and 263

contract carriers are required to provide a $100,000 performance bond. Bulk fuel carriers 264 are required to provide a $25,000 performance bond. 265

266 c. TSPs registered with the Small Business Administration (SBA), 267 http://www.sba.gov may select up to three states with a performance bond of $25,000, up 268

to 10 states with a performance bond of $50,000 and 11 or more states for $100,000. To 269 utilize these bond amounts, when submitting your bond information, you must provide 270

supporting documentation that you are registered with the SBA. 271 272 273 274 275

will not be required to list any insurance company with SDDC. 343 344

h. A valid Bodily Injury and Property Damage (BIPD) and cargo insurance policy 345 shall be maintained by the TSP at all times while a tender is in effect and must cover all 346

equipment used to transport DOD freight. Insurance policies will include a provision 347

that states insurers will notify SDDC prior to any service changes (i.e., renewals, 348 cancellations) at least 30 days prior to expiration of insurance. 349

350 8. Safety. 351

352 a. Interstate TSP must maintain a satisfactory safety rating with the Federal Motor 353

Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Intrastate TSP must maintain a satisfactory 354 safety rating with applicable state agency. Unannounced safety inspections of TSP 355 facilities, terminals, equipment, employees, TSP records and procedures shall be 356

conducted by DOD civilian, military personnel, and/or DOD contract employees. In 357

transit, surveillance and inspection of vehicles and drivers shall be conducted in 358 coordination with local police or other authorities.

SECTION A

374 b. TSP must implement and certify that they have in place company-wide safety 375

management programs that comply with applicable federal, state and local statutes or 376 requirements. Safety programs shall be subject to review and evaluation by DOD 377 representatives. 378

379

9. Cargo shall be delivered in the same condition as received at origin after shipment 380

is loaded, secured, inspected and cleared for movement. Any damage or loss shall be the 381

responsibility of the TSP and shall be settled promptly (see Section A, VII, Claims). To 382

avoid liability for loss and damage to cargo, a TSP must show that it is free from 383

negligence and that the loss or damage was due to a force majeure situation. Notification 384

of cargo loss, damage, or unusual delay shall be made by TSP within 24-hours to the 385

consignor and consignee, except as designated in Section A, VIII, Table 1 and 2. Report 386

information will include origin and destination, BL number, shipping paper information, 387

time and place of occurrence, and other important details. Accident reports submitted to 388

DOT shall be provided to SDDC upon request. 389

10. TSPs may not post DOD loads on broker or load boards unless they are registered 390

with the DOD as a Broker, Logistics Company or a Freight Forwarder. Double 391 Brokering of any DOD freight is not permitted (See Table of Penalties, Page 70). TSPs 392 may not solicit drivers with a price for specific loads through broker or load boards 393

unless they have already been awarded that freight by a DOD shipper. 394 395

C. Brokers/Freight Forwarders/Logistics Companies 396 397

This item sets forth the minimum requirements for brokers/surface freight forwarder/ 398 logistic companies to maintain their SDDC qualifications to transport DOD freight. 399 400

1. Brokers, freight forwarders and logistics companies will maintain a current electronic 401

listing of all subcontracted TSP who may be used to transport DOD freight. Listings 402

shall be maintained at the corporate office and available to send via email upon SDDC 403 request and viewed by SDDC personnel only. 404 405

2. Brokers, freight forwarders, or logistics companies who submit tenders and receive 406

awards of government traffic agree to assume full liability for a shipment under the 407

Carmack Amendment, unless the terms and conditions of the BL establish that a SDDC 408

released valuation rate applies to that shipment. Brokers, freight forwarders, or logistics 409

companies must also comply with all applicable provisions of 49 United States Code and 410

49 Code of Federal Regulations, including 49 CFR 371 and 387. Brokers shall be 411

required to fully comply with all other requirements that are required of other TSPs under 412

the circumstances applicable to each shipment. 413

414

415

416

417

15


SECTION A

418 3. Subcontracted TSP will provide sufficient documentation for the shipper to verify and 419

confirm that they have been engaged by the broker, freight forwarder or Logistics 420

Company named on the BL. TSP contractors shall provide the subcontracted TSP with 421

the required documentation, such as BLs and broker agreements prior to pick up. In 422

emergencies only, the required information may be emailed and/or faxed to the shipping 423

activity prior to pick up during normal operating hours. 424

4. Brokers, freight forwarders, or logistics companies who exercise their option to 425

subcontract transportation services to another TSP are advised that the government lack 426

privities of contract with any subcontracted TSP acting on behalf of its principal. 427

Therefore, the government is not liable contractually to any subcontracted TSP as a 428

matter of law. Brokers, freight forwarders, or logistics companies will ensure that 429

subcontracted TSP shall not hold DOD freight “hostage” due to failure, inability or 430

refusal of the broker, freight forwarder, or Logistics Company as a principal to pay sums 431

lawfully owed to their subcontracted TSP(s). Brokers, freight forwarders, or logistics 432

EDI tender supplements may be used only to update the administrative data in Sections 949

A, B, and C of MT Form 364-R. The GFM System will assign to each accepted tender a 950

distribution date and a distribution number and electronically transmit to the TSP through 951

Transaction Set 994, Administrative Message this Information. For rejected tenders, 952

GFM will transmit electronically to the TSP through Transaction Set 994 the reason for 953

rejection. 954

Part III 955

To prevent the submission of duplicating or conflicting rates in the same tender, the 956 following guidelines must be followed when submitting different rate sections in the 957 same tender: 958

SECTION A

990 Part IV – Specific Instructions for Completing Sections A, B and C 991 992 This part provides step-by-step instructions to complete and submit a 364-R tender on the 993 ETA website via Tender Entry on the Web. 994

995 Section A. Transportation Service Provider Information 996 997 To begin the tender process, enter the tender number as follows: 998 999 1. Tender Number 1000

1001

a. Enter the tender number assigned by the TSP. The six-position space allowed for 1002

tender numbers must be completely filled in. Alphabetical prefixes, suffixes, and hyphens 1003 are not permitted. For example, if a TSP assigns number One to its tender, it would be 1004

shown as 000001. If a supplement is being filed, use the two-character field provided to 1005 identify the supplement. For example, Supplement No. 1 would be shown as 01. 1006

1007

b. Recommend tender and supplement numbers be consecutively numbered. 1008 1009

c. Alphabetical prefixes and suffixes may not be used to establish or continue a tender 1010

series. For example, if a TSP wishes to supplement tender 000100, it may be 1011 supplemented to retain the tender number, but not the alphabetical suffix. Tender number 1012

004000 (is reserved). 1013

1014

d. Rejected tenders and supplements do not have to be cancelled. 1015 1016 e. Negotiated tenders must be numbered in the 500,000-series (500000 through 1017

599999, inclusive). 1018 1019

2. Supplements In Effect: 1020 1021

a. Only one supplement to a specific tender may be in effect at any one time. For 1022

voluntary tenders, a supplement can only be used to change Section A (TSP Information). 1023 However, the SCAC, Mode, Application, Commodity Classification, and Section 1024 designations cannot be changed. When a change in SCAC code occurs, cancellation 1025 supplement must be issued to each tender filed under the old SCAC and new tenders 1026

must be issued under the new SCAC. Each time a new supplement is issued, all 1027 unchanged Section A data must be brought forward. Section A data not brought forward 1028 in the next consecutively numbered supplement to a specific tender will automatically be 1029 cancelled. In addition to Section A, Section B (General Terms and Conditions), and 1030 Section C (TSP’s Offer and Instructions) of the tender supplement shall be completed. 1031

SECTION A

1037

b. When changing other than Section A, B, or C information, it is recommended 1038 that the new tender number be consecutive, cancelling the tender being replaced. Data not 1039 brought forward in the new tender will automatically be cancelled. 1040 1041 The following paragraphs correspond to the fields in Section A of the tender. 1042

1043 1. Mode. Enter the single character code from the following list that describes the mode 1044 of service offered by the tender. For each type of service offered, the TSP must provide a 1045 unique SCAC applicable to their authority to operate and for the mode transportation 1046 offered. For example, if a TSP offers to provide indirect air TSP and motor TSP service, 1047

then they will need at least two SCACs: one for the air and a different SCAC for the 1048

indirect motor. If a TSP will only provide motor service under their carrier authority and 1049

property freight forwarder authority, then they will also need two SCACs: one for the 1050 motor carrier service offered and another SCAC for freight forwarder services offered. 1051

SECTION A

1080

3. Cancellation of Tender/Supplement: 1081 1082 a. If the tender or tender supplement being issued cancels any tender or supplement, 1083 list the cancelled tender(s) in this item. To cancel an entire tender, enter the 8-digit tender 1084 number, including the latest supplement. 1085

1086 b. TSP filing Optional Form 280 shall be required to submit a manual cancellation. 1087

1088 c. TSP may cancel up to 20 tenders with a single tender that will carry forward rates. 1089 1090

4. Action. Indicate what the tender will do. Supplements to extend expiration dates must 1091

be received at SDDC, or in the case of modes K and L received at USTRANSCOM, 1092

TCJ5/4LC, Commercial Services Branch, at least five working days prior to the scheduled 1093 expiration date of the tender. Expired tenders cannot be reinstated retroactively. 1094

1095 5. Kind of Change. Provide a brief but specific narrative of the nature of the amendment, 1096

e.g., “Extend Expiration Date.” 1097 1098 6. Issue Date. Enter the date of issue in the format requested. Issue date must be at least 1099

one day before the effective date when the TSP’s intention is to lower its rates. The issue date 1100 must be at least 15 days before the effective date, if it is the TSP’s intention to raise its rates. 1101

If it is the TSP’s intent to extend the tender, then issue date must be at least 5 days before the 1102 effective date. 1103

1104 7. Effective Date. Enter the effective date of the tender in the format requested. If a 1105

Tender increases rates or charges, or cancels a service in that tender, the effective date must 1106 allow at least 15 days advance notice, computed from date of receipt by USTRANSCOM 1107 /SDDC. If a tender reduces rates, only one-day notice is required. Otherwise, the date must 1108

be current, unless agreed to by USTRANSCOM/SDDC prior to filing of the tender. Unlike 1109

voluntary tenders, negotiated 500,000 series tenders dates can be retroactive. 1110 1111

8. Expiration Date. Enter the expiration date in the format requested. For voluntary tender 1112 submissions, the expiration date may not be less than 90 days, or no more than two years 1113 from the effective date. An expiration date is mandatory on all tenders and supplements. A 1114

change in the expiration date stated in a supplement changes the expiration date for the 1115 tender. 1116

1117 9. Application (not applicable on modes K, L or M). If a tender applies to interstate 1118 shipments indicate by placing an “X” in the appropriate space. Interstate tenders will not 1119 contain any intrastate rates. If the tender applies to intrastate shipments, insert the U.S. Postal 1120 Service Standard State Abbreviation in the space provided. Intrastate tenders will not contain 1121

any interstate rates, and only one state per tender is permitted. 1122 1123

1124

32


SECTION A

1125 10. Operating Authority. Motor TSP must list their appropriate DOT common TSP 1126

Operating authority numbers or appropriate intrastate operating authority numbers. If the 1127 service offered is exempt, enter the word “EXEMPT.” This item shall not apply to rail 1128 TSP. The TSP’s SCAC must be in agreement with the mode of service offered. In other 1129 words, TSP assigned a surface freight forwarder SCAC may not use that same SCAC for 1130 air freight forwarder service. At all times, TSP shall ensure that any shipment moved, or 1131

any portion thereof, is transported pursuant to proper and lawful operating authority 1132 required pursuant to 49 United States Code, federal regulations, or other applicable 1133 authority. 1134

1135 11. Equipment. This field also applies to domestic modes K, L or M. Indicate the code 1136

for the type(s) of equipment to be used on a specific tender. Up to 16 equipment codes 1137

may be shown on a tender. Equipment codes and descriptions are indicated on a drop 1138

down menu. TOFC/COFC TSP will indicate the motor equipment provided. No rail 1139 equipment codes shall be entered on the tender. 1140

1141 12. Commodity Classification. Indicate whether NMFC, UFC, DOD or STCC. 1142

1143 13. Commodity (see Appendix B for a list of commonly used commodity codes). 1144

a. Up to 16 commodities may be shown on a single tender. 1145

b. Commodities not assigned DOD unique commodity codes shall be given a Rail 1146

STCC. A Uniform Freight Classification (UFC) shall be utilized only if a STCC is not 1147

available. National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) shall be utilized for motor 1148

shipments. Only one type classification tariff may be used on any single tender. DOD 1149

unique codes, however, may be used in conjunction with commodities shown in either 1150

the STCC, NMFC or UFC. 1151

c. List the classification numbers of all commodities to be moved under this tender 1152

unless, as explained below, a DOD unique code has been assigned to the commodity. 1153

When applicable, the STCC/NMFC/DOD Unique item sub number contributing to the 1154

specific description shall be shown. TOFC/COFC TSP will enter Rail STCC/DOD 1155

Unique commodity number(s)/code(s) covering material to be transported. No exception 1156

to the commodity description published in the classification shall be accepted. 1157

1158

1163

33


SECTION A

1164 d. TSP may identify commodities individually by DOD Unique, NMFC, or STCC. 1165

for example, Aircraft Group: NMFC item 011760 or STCC. If a TSP elects to use a group 1166 heading, it will apply to all commodities listed under that group heading, with no 1167 exceptions. If a TSP wishes to limit the application to one or more individual 1168 commodities listed under a group heading, only the DOD Unique code numbers(s), sub 1169 number(s), and descriptions(s) for those individual commodities shall be entered in item 1170

14. Other than those commodities included in generic groups, groups of commodities will 1171 not be accepted. Those commodities must be listed individually. STCCs do not have 1172 group codes. 1173

1174

e. Freight All Kinds (FAK) consists of those commodities that TSP offer to transport 1175 at one inclusive rate or charge regardless of their classification rating in the NMFC, 1176

STCC or UFC, or differing transportation characteristics. These commodities are 1177 described in this publication. TSP filing FAK rates may not restrict the application of 1178

such rates by imposing any further commodity, density, or classification exclusions. The 1179 identification of one FAK commodity code in a tender precludes the listing of any other 1180

FAK commodity code in the same tender. 1181 1182 f. Because of the unusual transportation needs of DOD material, DOD unique 1183

codes shown below must be used in the Standard Tender of Freight Services to describe 1184 the commodities listed. Released values shown for these commodities have also been 1185

assigned by DOD and apply to movements by both rail and other than rail. For 1186 explanation of the classification of explosives, see 49 CFR, Part 173.50 1187 1188

g. STCCs covering army tracked vehicle groups and individual tracked vehicles 1189

will replace all entries covering these commodities in the UFC and NMFC. 1190 1191 h. Direct Procurement Method (DPM) shipments of crated household goods and 1192

unaccompanied baggage must move under 100251. DOD unique items replace the 1193 corresponding item and sub in NMFC and TSP may not require a BL endorsement. 1194 Because the DPM contractor’s warehouse usually is not located at a military installation 1195

having responsibility for DPM shipment, origin must not be a military installation but 1196 should be either a City, State section, or State. 1197 1198 14. Released Value Rate: The following applies to the assignment of released valuation 1199 (agreed level of liability assumed by the TSP in transporting a shipment in the event of 1200

loss or damage) when shipments are moved via tenders. Any conflict between this item 1201

and statements inserted by TSP in DOD tender shall be resolved by giving precedence to 1202

this Item. 1203 1204 a. In the cases where the shipment has a released value, in the event of loss and/or 1205 damage to a DOD shipment, amount recoverable shall be: (1) the applicable released 1206 value (when stated in dollars and cents per pound in the Released Value field of the 1207 tender) multiplied by the gross weight of the item; or (2) the declared value of the 1208 1209

34


SECTION A

1210 vehicle(s) and/or item when stated on the BL; or (3) the released value of the vehicle(s) 1211

identified in Tender section of this publication, but no more than the loss or damage 1212 actually sustained in each incident stated above. 1213 1214 b. No exceptions or changes may be made to released value assigned to DOD 1215 unique commodity codes or released value assigned to commodities in either the NMFC 1216

or STCC. In addition, release values cannot be applied to perishable subsistence. TSP 1217 using NMFC must ensure that both proper item and sub number containing desired 1218 released value amount are shown. Rail TSP must ensure that proper Item is shown. When 1219 commodity descriptions include released value as described in this paragraph, no entries 1220 shall be made. 1221

1222

c. Except as otherwise provided in these instructions, tenders containing other than 1223

DOD unique commodity descriptions for which no released value is provided in the 1224 NMFC or STCC, shall be subject to full TSP liability, unless the filing TSP completes the 1225

released value field. If a TSP wishes to limit its liability by completing the released value 1226 field, in no event shall the amount be less than $2.50 per pound, or $1.00 per pound for 1227

air shipments. 1228 1229 d. For all FAK shipments containing crated HHG or personal effects, as well as 1230

unique commodity codes 100240 and 100251, described in Appendix D, TSP liability for 1231 lost and/or damaged cargo is $5,000 per shipment, or $4.00 times the net weight of the 1232

household goods shipment or, the gross weight of the unaccompanied baggage shipment, 1233 not to exceed $50,000, whichever is greater. Under the new Full Replacement Value 1234

(FRV) program, the TSP shall be liable for the full replacement value of HHG and 1235 personal effects transported as FAK. For HHG or personal effects items that are lost or 1236

destroyed while in the custody of the TSP for transportation as FAK, the TSP’s liability 1237 will not be for the depreciated replacement value (i.e., fair market value) of the item but 1238 the full replacement value, without depreciation. 1239

1240

e. Domestic air tender released value for lost and/or damaged cargo (excluding 1241 crated household goods and personal effects, i.e., commodity codes 100240 and 100251) 1242 shall not exceed $1.00 per pound per piece or $100 per piece, whichever is greater, but 1243 not to exceed actual value of articles lost or damaged plus the amount of applicable 1244 transportation charges. 1245

1246 f. When using driveaway or towaway service, specific vehicles identified in the motor 1247

section of this publication will always be subject to a released value not exceeding $20,000 for 1248 each vehicle in the shipment. When these commodities are identified, no entries shall be made 1249 in the released value field. 1250 1251 g. Subject to the provisions of sub paragraphs 14b, 14d, and 14e, commodities released in 1252

value may be published in the same tender with commodities not released in value. 1253 1254 1255

1256

35

1257


SECTION A

1258

Section B. General Terms and Conditions 1259 1260 1. Section B contains general terms and conditions which cannot be modified, deleted, or 1261 otherwise altered by the TSP. In “Governing Publications,” TSP tenders list this publication as 1262

the only governing publication. If a TSP lists another governing publication in the tender 1263 submission, then the tender is subject to removal by SDDC/USTRANSCOM as an improper 1264 tender. 1265 1266 2. TSP must annotate the appropriate block(s) if the rates or charges in the tender may be 1267

used to construct combination rates or proportional rates. If none of the blocks are 1268 annotated, the rates and charges will not be used to construct combination rates or 1269

proportional rates. 1270

1271

Section C. Transportation Service Provider’s Offer and Instructions 1272 1273 Section C must be completed by the authorized officer or agent. The Printed Name, Title, 1274 Address, and Telephone Number of the authorized representative is required in Section 1275 C. Section C must include a telephone number that USTRANSCOM/SDDC personnel 1276

can use to contact the TSP if they have any questions about the tender's contents. TSP 1277 representatives are authorized to correct errors in tenders and shall be contacted by 1278

SDDC. 1279 1280 A completed Section B and C must be part of each tender and supplement filed with 1281

USTRANSCOM/SDDC. 1282

1283 Part V – Rate Section 1284

1285 This section is used to quote rates for transportation from, to, or between specific cities or 1286 military installations. Additional instructions applicable only to TSP offering point-to-point 1287

dromedary service are shown in paragraph 6 below. 1288 1289 1. Indicate the two-character code for the rate qualifier to be used in this section. Only 1290 one rate qualifier may be used in each tender. The weight/volume/quantity fields of this 1291 section shall be used to show the minimum weight, volume, or quantity. If the rate 1292

qualifier selected is PH or DH, show the minimum weight in pounds. If the rate qualifier 1293 selected is PG, show the minimum volume in gallons. If the rate qualifier is ST, PL, PC, 1294

DL, PV, or BB show the minimum quantity in number of short tons, number of trailers, 1295 number of rail cars, number of dromedary loads, number of vehicles, or number of 1296 barrels, respectively. Tank truck TSP can only use rate qualifier PG in this Section. Rail 1297 TSP offering TOFC/COFC service may use either rate qualifier PL or PH. Other 1298 restrictions that apply to rate qualifiers are: 1299

1300 1301 1302

1303

36


SECTION A

1304 a. PV: For vehicles including tank vehicles on rail flat, bi-level, and tri-level cars or in 1305

motor driveaway or towaway service. (This applies to the number of shipper’s vehicles loaded 1306 on TSP equipment). 1307 1308 b. BB: For pipeline and water TSP only. 1309 1310

c. PG: For TSP of bulk liquid commodities, other than pipeline or water TSP. 1311 1312 2. Less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments may be included in this section and are 1313 restricted to rate qualifier PH. Dromedary service TSP for LTL shipments will use rate 1314 qualifiers DH and DL. TSP have the option of submitting LTL rates in Section D, or in 1315

Table B or Table D (percent of class rates) of Section E (Territorial Rates). 1316

1317

1449 7. Table of Rates 1450

1451 a. All rates are to be regressive. A TSP may not offer the same rate or a higher rate for 1452 a higher minimum weight, volume, or quantity. List rates or charges in spaces provided for 1453 each pair of points for each service. TSPs choosing to offer either same or varying rates or 1454 charges from origin up to three destinations will enter applicable rate or charge in the 1455

appropriate column(s). 1456

1457

b. If service is offered from same origin to more than three destinations, origin SPLC 1458 must be entered in each origin field provided in Section D. In other words, a single page 1459

Section D submission can accommodate rates from one origin to 15 destinations. The 1460 origin SPLC must be reentered in the second, third, fourth, and fifth origin SPLC fields. If 1461

this structure is used, TSP choosing to offer either the same or varying rates or charges 1462 from the origin to all of the up to 15 destinations will enter that applicable rate under the 1463 appropriate column(s) on the same line as each of the up to 15 destinations. 1464

1465 c. In appropriate columns, list rates or charges for the service offered as described in 1466

Paragraph 3 of this Section. Only “Per Gallon” and “Per Barrel” rates may be quoted in 1467 fractions of a cent. Rates quoted in fractions of a cent using any other rate qualifier shall 1468

be rejected. In the columns provided, rail TSP may offer incentive rates when using 1469 qualifier PH (per hundredweight) or PG (per gallon). Incentive rates will apply to freight 1470

loaded in the same rail car and shall be applicable to any weights/gallons which are 1471 greater than the highest minimum weight/gallon per rail car shown in Paragraph 3, rate 1472 applicable to the highest minimum weight/gallon per car shown in Paragraph 3, and 1473

Columns A, B, C, or D. Rates must be lower than the per hundredweight or per gallon 1474

serves as an incentive for loading heavier weights/gallons on rail cars. Procedures for 1475 completing incentive rates are the same as described in the first two paragraphs of this 1476 item. 1477 1478 d. Rail TSP has the option of entering route numbers in rail route column that 1479

corresponds to route numbers listed in Appendix A. Rail TSP must ensure that rates or 1480 charges for given origin/destination combinations are the same, regardless of route 1481

traveled, for the same weight. 1482 1483

Section E. Territorial Rates 1484 1485 1. This section provides instructions on SPLC use. Rates from, to, or between geographic 1486

areas, or between geographic areas and specific points shall be quoted in Section E. 1487

2. Specific SPLC origins and destinations used in a tender shall be obtained from the 1488

Continental Directory of Standard Point Location Codes, NMF 102H, issued by the 1491 National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. Region and zone construction is 1492 explained below and will take priority over the instructions in the SPLC directory. 1493

3. Rates require a nine-digit SPLC for each specific origin and destination. An 1494 alphabetical arrangement of sub-code locations is published in the SPLC directory. 1495 Origins or destinations not found in the sub-code locations shall be found in the motor 1496 TSP section of the SPLC directory. Motor TSP codes are assigned a six-digit number and 1497

three zeroes shall be added to the end of the six-digit code to establish the required nine-1498 digit SPLC. DOD installations and activities are assigned a specific nine-digit SPLC. Do 1499 not use six-digit SPLCs with text description “Military Facility.” Rail TSP will use the 1500 specific DOD installation nine-digit SPLC when serviced either directly or through an 1501

interchange with a Government railroad. Railhead SPLCs will not be used. 1502 1503 Examples of Condensed Locations 1504

d. Service to all points in a state shall be indicated by the two-letter U.S. Postal Service 1548

Standard State Abbreviation in the first two positions of the SPLC field, followed in the 1549 location column by a narrative description. Do not use the SPLC numeric designation for 1550

state application. 1551 1552

e. Service to all points within a section of a state shall be indicated by using the 1553 appropriate alpha-numeric code from the list in Section E-1, paragraph 5a, followed in the 1554 location column by a narrative description. For example, Texas Northeast Section shall be 1555

shown as follows: 1556

1557 CODE LOCATION 1558 1559

66Z Texas, Northeast Section 1560 1561

f. The alpha or numeric designation of the specific point or geographic area (CONUS, 1562 Region, State, or Zone) will take precedence over the narrative description in the location 1563 space. 1564

1565

g. Use of a code, which indicates a geographic area rather than a specific point, 1566 implies service to all points in that area. TSP wishing to exclude certain locations will list 1567 the SPLC in the “Exceptions SPLC” field. 1568

1569 h. Rail TSP also have the option of entering route numbers in the rail route column 1570

that correspond with the rail route numbers listed in Appendix A. This field is provided for 1571 the convenience of rail TSP. 1572

1573 i. When rail TSP offer territorial rates, which includes given point pairs, rail TSP must 1574 ensure that rates or charges are the same, regardless of the route traveled, for the same 1575 weight. 1576 1577

6. If the service to be offered is to apply in both directions, annotate the “Between Flag” field. 1578 1579 1580

42


SECTION A

1581 7. TSP may exclude up to a maximum of 16 specific points from the territorial application 1582

of Section E in each tender. Exclusions will only be shown on the first page of Section E and 1583 will apply to the entire Section. Only points published in the SPLC Directory may be 1584 excluded. When a city SPLC is used, the exclusion applies to all DOD installations having 1585 the same first six digits followed by a three-digit installation designator. In the spaces 1586 provided, the excluded nine-digit SPLC and accompanying narrative locations must be 1587

shown. TSP must indicate whether the points are excluded as origins and/or destinations by 1588 annotating Origin and/or Destination fields. If multiple pages are required to express the 1589 territorial application in a tender, each individual page of origins and destinations will stand 1590 alone for rate application. If, for example, there are six pages (E-1 through E-6) of territorial 1591 applications, rates will not apply from origins on page E-1 to and/or between destinations on 1592

any of the other five pages. 1593

1594

8. Rate Qualifier. Rates for transportation services offered in this section may be 1595 expressed in any of 13 different ways (see Part II, Para. 3, Application of Rate Qualifiers, 1596

in these tender instructions). Only one Rate Qualifier may be used in Section E of each 1597 tender. Limitations exist on certain rate qualifiers. PG or PY are required for bulk liquid 1598

commodities, other than pipeline or water TSP. PQ applies to both less-than-truckload 1599 and truckload shipments. PJ rates apply only to vehicles on rail flat, bi-level, or tri-level 1600 cars, or in driveaway or towaway service. DL, DH and DZ are subject to the specific 1601

instructions shown for Tables B and F, below. 1602 1603

a. When rate qualifiers DZ, PZ, or PY are used, the rate shall be expressed by up to 1604 four numbers to the right of the decimal point, in fractions of a cent. Only in rare instances 1605

would rates be equal to or greater than one whole cent. Computation of per hundredweight 1606 per mile charges shall be performed in the following manner. For example, assume a TSP 1607

offers a rate of 00.2650 cents per hundredweight per mile on 43,231 pounds at a distance 1608 of 500 miles. GFM will first convert this charge to a fraction of one dollar, or .00265 per 1609 hundredweight per mile. Then the computation shall be 43,231 pounds/100 = 432.31 cwt. 1610

units; 432.31 cwt. units x .00265 = $1.1456215 per mile; $1.1456215 per mile x 500 miles = 1611

$572.81 charge. All per hundredweight per mile, and per hundredweight per mile per 1612 dromedary service shipment charges shall be computed in the same manner. For example, 1613 a "PY" rate (per gallon per mile) of .0365 cents per gallon per mile, stated in Table B as 1614 0.0365, or in Table E as 0.0365, would be converted by GFM to .000365. Therefore, 1615 the charge on a shipment of 5,000 gallons moving 200 miles is computed as: .000365 1616

x 5,000 gallons = $1.8250 per mile x 200 miles = $365.00. (Rounding to the nearest 1617 whole cent will not occur until total line-haul cost is computed.) 1618

1628


SECTION A

1629

b. When rate qualifier PG is used, TSP must express their rates as follows: If rate is 1630 5.25 cents per gallon, TSP would enter 0.0525 in Table B. In Table E, the entry would be 1631 0.0525. 6. Rate Tables. Only one of the Rate Qualifiers authorized for each Table in Section 1632 E may be used to quote rates for that Table in an individual tender. In addition, only one type 1633 Table (A through F) may be used in an individual tender. Any number of Tables A through 1634

D may be included, e.g., three Table B but not one Table B and one Table C. Only one Table 1635 E or Table F may be used. In all Tables all rates must regress, i.e., must not be the same or 1636 higher, from left to right as minimum pounds/gallons/quantities increase. If using Table E, 1637 Rate Qualifier PY or PZ, or Table F, Rate Qualifier DZ, rates must also regress as mileage 1638 blocks increase. 1639

1640

TABLE A 1641

1642 Use Table A to publish a single rate and minimum charge (if desired) to apply for Rate 1643

Qualifier PM or Rate Qualifier PJ. 1644 1645

TABLE B 1646 1647 1. Use this table to quote rates for Rate Qualifiers PJ, PH, PG, PZ, PY, DL, DH, or DZ. 1648

Four minimum quantities (expressed in pounds, gallons, or vehicles) may be used. 1649 Minimums for shipments weighing less than 10,000 pounds may be included, provided PH 1650

or PZ are used. If using PJ, four minimum numbers of vehicles may also be shown. Tank 1651 truck TSP may also use this table, but are restricted to the use of PG or PY. Only rates for 1652

PZ, DZ, PY, and PG can be expressed in fractions of a cent. The minimum quantity for DL 1653 shall be “1” shipment. 1654

1655 2. Charges for DL are the only charges that can use all four positions to the left of the 1656

decimal point in the rate spaces. Offering dromedary rates and service under this Table (i.e., 1657

Regular and 410 Dromedary Service) using DH or DL shall be as prescribed in Section D 1658

of these instructions. Offering dromedary service using DZ shall be as prescribed for PZ, 1659 except that only two minimums may be used for DZ. A minimum charge may only be 1660 submitted for PZ, DZ, PY, or PJ. 1661 1662 3. Minimum charge applicable to PJ rates under this Table will apply per vehicle 1663

used rather than per vehicle moved. If two vehicles are moving on a flat bed, the 1664 minimum charge is applicable to that flatbed (per vehicle used), not to each of the two 1665

vehicles moved on the flat bed. 1666 1667 1668

SECTION A

1676

4. Rail TSP may offer incentive rates when using PH, PZ, PY, or PG. Incentive rates will 1677 apply to freight loaded in the same rail car and shall be applicable to any weight/gallons, 1678 which are greater than the highest minimum weight/gallon shown in the table. Rates must be 1679 lower than the per gallon rate, per hundredweight rate, per hundredweight per mile, or per 1680 gallon per mile rate applicable to the highest minimum weight/gallon shown and thus serve 1681

as an incentive for loading heavier weights on rail cars. 1682 1683 5. Procedures for computing PZ, PY, and DZ charges are explained in Section E, paragraph 1684 5 and these instructions must be followed in order for the charges based on rates in this table 1685 to be accurate. 1686

1687

6. Up to eight minimum quantities are allowed in Table B. If this procedure is followed and 1688

minimums of less than 20,000 pounds and 20,000 pounds and greater are used, the 1689 minimums of 20,000 pounds and greater shall be considered truckload minimums. One 1690

minimum charge will apply to all minimum quantities if this procedure is used, and may 1691 only be used for PY, PJ, PZ, and DZ. 1692

1693 7. Heavy haulers may restrict a minimum weight to one specific type of equipment by 1694

submitting a tender with only that equipment code listed Section A, Equipment field. 1695 1696

TABLE C 1697 1698 This table is used to quote rates for a minimum number or quantity of short tons (2,000 1699

pounds), Rate Qualifier ST. Three minimums may be expressed. 1700

1701 TABLE D 1702 1703 This table quotes rates as a percentage of the SDDC baseline Class 100 rates and 1704

minimum charges. Rate Qualifier “PQ” applies. Pricing under this table is for shipments 1705

in all weight categories. In the minimum charge block, TSP must enter an across-the-board 1706 percentage, which is above, below, or equal to the minimum charges specified Class 1707 100 Rates in this section. TSP also have the option of entering in the block provided a 1708 percentage which is above/below/equal to the baseline Class 100 rates for either FAK or 1709 Specific NMFC or DOD Unique Commodities. Be sure to show the applicable commodity 1710

codes in Section A, Commodity Code field. Keep in mind that the words “Less Than 1711 Truckload” have no application in Table D of Section E. 1712

SECTION A

1719

TABLE E 1720

1. This table is used to quote rates for PC, PL, PH, PZ, PG, or PY in a matrix format. 1721

When minimums are expressed in pounds, PH and PZ shall be used. When minimums are 1722 expressed in gallons, PG and PY shall be used. Tank truck TSP may use this Table, but 1723 are restricted to the use of PG or PY. PC and PL do not require minimums. Mileages are 1724 indicated in four columns next to weight fields that require completion. 1725 1726

2. Fields in Table E allows rail and motor TSP to offer flat charges regardless of the 1727 weight of shipment. No other rate qualifier can be used in conjunction with this Table. 1728 Each rate qualifier has its own designated rate table format. Rail TSP when offering 1729 TOFC/COFC service, have the option of using motor rate qualifiers PH, PZ or PL. Tank 1730

truck TSP offering equipment code AT2 (Tank over 8,000 gallons) will use the 8,000 1731 gallon column. 1732 1733

3. Procedures for computing charges for Rate Qualifiers PZ and PY are explained in 1734 Paragraph 5 of this section and must be followed in order for charges to be accurate. 1735

1736 4. Rate Qualifier PH rates shall be expressed in whole dollars and cents. For example, if 1737 a TSP offers a rate of 01.5000 ($1.50) per hundredweight on 43,231 pounds at a distance 1738

of 500 miles (distant bracket 451-500), the computation shall be: 43,231 pounds/100 = 1739 432.31 cwt units, 432.31 cwt units x 1.50 = $648.47 charge. 1740 1741 5. Minimum weight, gallon or mileage columns will not be altered. TSP are free to 1742

provide rates for any or all minimums, limited only by their ability to perform. TSP must 1743 ensure rates are provided in every field, from the lowest to the highest mileage bracket, 1744 covered in tender’s territorial application. For example, if service is offered from VA to 1745

MD, the mileage bracket reflecting the maximum possible distance between points in 1746 these two states must be completed. Rates must be included for the same minimum 1747

columns on each mileage line used. Per hundredweight rates cannot be stated in fractions 1748 of cents. 1749 1750

Incentive rates will apply to freight loaded in the same rail car and shall be applicable to 1762 any weight/gallon greater than the highest minimum weight/gallon shown in the Table. 1763

Rates must be lower than rate applicable to highest minimum weight/gallon shown. 1764

1765 TABLE F 1766 1767 This table will only be used for dromedary service expressed on a territorial basis. 1768 Offering dromedary service, rates, and minimum weights (i.e., Regular and 410 1769 Dromedary Service) shall be as indicated in Section D. No change to mileage is 1770

permitted. Procedures for computing charges for Rate Qualifier DZ is explained in 1771 Paragraph 5 in this Section must be followed. TSP must ensure rates or charges are 1772

provided in every field, from lowest to highest mileage bracket, to the extent of the 1773 tender's territorial application. For example, if service is offered under this Table from 1774 PA to MD, mileage reflecting the maximum possible distance between points in these 1775 two states must be completed. Rates must be included for same minimum columns on 1776

each mileage line used. 1777 1778

Section E-1 State To State Rate Matrix (Interstate only) 1779

1. This section contains a matrix for expressing rates, from and to states and/or state 1780 zones. Rates will only apply from Origins listed in the “FROM” portion across the top, 1781 to destinations listed in the “TO” portion along the left hand side. 1782

1783 2. Only rates for PM and PZ may be used in Section E-1. Indicate in the space provided 1784

whether PM or PZ (see item 5 below) is being used. Only rates for PZ may be expressed 1785 as a fraction of a cent. The procedure for computing PZ charges is explained in Section E, 1786

Paragraph 5.a of these instructions and must be followed. 1787 1788

3. Minimum charge may be indicated in field provided. Only one minimum charge per 1789 tender shall be allowed. 1790 1791 4. Rate Qualifier PZ requires a minimum weight. Indicate applicable minimum weight in 1792

e. The alpha or numeric designation of the specific point or geographic area 1983 (CONUS, Region, State, or Zone) will take precedence over the narrative description in 1984

the location space. 1985 1986 f. Use of a code, which indicates a geographic area rather than a specific point, 1987

implies service to all points in that area. If a TSP is not prepared to offer services to all 1988 points or SPLCs, then the SPLC for the specific point or points to which service is 1989 offered must be used. 1990

1991 5. If service to be offered applies in both directions, annotate the “Between Flag” field. 1992

1993 6. TSP may exclude up to a maximum of six specific points from the territorial application 1994

of Section H in each tender. Only points assigned a SPLC in the SPLC Directory may be 1995 excluded. When a city SPLC is used, exclusion applies to all DOD Installations having the 1996 same first six digits followed by a three-digit installation designator. TSP must indicate 1997 1998

SECTION A

2000 whether the points are excluded as origins and/or destinations annotating the origin or 2001

destination field. 2002 2003 a. When more than one page of Section H, Territorial Locations, is included in a 2004 tender, TSP are still limited to a maximum of six origin and/or destination SPLC 2005 exclusions in each tender. Exclusions will only be shown on the first page of Section H 2006

and will apply to the entire Section. 2007 2008 b. If multiple pages are required to express territorial application in a tender, each 2009 individual page of origins and destinations will stand alone for rate application. If, for 2010 example, there are six pages (H-1 through H-6) of territorial applications, rates will not 2011

apply from origins on page H-1 to and/or between destinations on any of the other five 2012

pages. 2013

Section H Territorial Air Rates Matrix (A) 2015 2016

This matrix contains the regions and zones, which must be used when showing rates in 2017

section H of a tender. These regions are hard wired into the GFM system and may not be 2018 changed. The regions are the same as shown in the NMF 102 SPLC, with elimination of 2019 Alaska and Hawaii from region 8. This page will always remain the same with the 2020

regions and the zones remaining the same. 2021 2022

1. Regions are made up of specific states, which include all SPLC codes within each 2023 state. First determine the regions for all origins; installation, city, state, region or 9C 2024

(CONUS), as shown in item 3 (origins) on the previous page which is the Service Area. 2025 Determine the regions for all destinations as shown in item 4. 2026

2027 2. Match the origin regions with the destinations regions on the zone matrix to determine 2028 the zones, which will apply on the tender. 2029

SECTION A

2129 2. After selecting origins and destinations as shown in Section H select applicable zones 2130

from Section H Territorial Air Rates Matrix, then insert the desired rate in each table for 2131 the proper zones and weight breaks. There must be at least one rate for each level of 2132 service requested, and at least one rate for each combination of origin, destination zone, 2133 which has been selected by use of the service areas and matrix. 2134 2135

Section I - CONUS to CONUS Express Small Package Contract 2136 2137 Shipments weighing 150 pounds or less must move in accordance with the Next 2138 Generation Delivery Service (NGDS) Contract. 2139

2140 Section F Security and Accessorial Services 2141

1. Quotation of charges for security and accessorial services shall be expressed as a flat 2142 charge, a per mile charge, a per hundredweight charge, a per hour charge, or a per barrel 2143 charge, as described in this publication. Each service is defined in this publication and 2144

provides an ANSI code to be used in this section of the tender. Pipeline TSP will use 2145 Section F-3. To simplify the submission of these services, the optional standard 2146 alpha/numeric codes taken from this publication shall be entered in disciplined “Service” 2147

fields in Section F. Any service provided must be in accordance with the definition 2148 contained in the rules publication. 2149

2150 2. Section F is divided into three items. F-1 deals exclusively with Protective Security 2151 Services and F-2 deals with Accessorial Services. Accessorial Services for pipeline are 2152

contained in F-3. Broker, Freight forwarders, and logistics companies, refer to Part II, 2153

Paragraph B.5 for prohibitions on providing TPS. 2154 2155 3. When completing Section F, a TSP must list in alphabetical order services and charges 2156

separately on indicated pages and in no instance will F-1, F-2 or F-3 be combined on the 2157

same page. 2158

4. When quoting security and/or accessorial service charges, a TSP must publish charges 2159

for mileage and/or weight listed in the rule, which are necessary to cover the territorial 2160 application of line-haul rates governed by the rule. 2161 2162 5. TSPs have the option to furnish services described in an individual accessorial service 2163 rule without charge. Rail TSP have the option to furnish protective security services 2164

without charge (See Section C, IV in this publication). To implement this action, enter 2165

in Section F the ANSI code for that service in “SERVICE” field and fill all fields to 2166

2167 2168 2169 2170 2171 2172 2173

CHARGE” field with leading zeroes and decimal disregarded. Certain rules (e.g., 2186

Redelivery, Item 63) have a maximum charge in addition to minimum charges. When 2187

assessing maximum charges, maximum charge code shall be entered under the 2188 “SERVICE” field followed by the maximum charge under the “MINIMUM 2189

CHARGE/WT” field in the same manner described for minimum charges in this 2190 paragraph. TSP should offer only security and/or accessorial services they are authorized 2191

and able to provide. TSP intending to offer transportation protective services are directed 2192 to Section A, Part II, Paragraph A of this publication. 2193 2194

Appendix A Rail Routes 2195

2196 This appendix is used to list rail routes for joint-line applications. It shall be maintained 2197 as a text file only and routing decisions shall be based on the rates contained in the 2198

Sections of the tender. Rail TSPs will ensure Rail routes are shown on BL. Submission of 2199 this appendix is optional. If used, a TSP shall list for each route only those TSPs who 2200

have agreed to participate in service at rates offered. Route numbers assigned in this 2201 appendix should correspond to origins/destinations shown in Section D and/or Section E. 2202 2203

CLASS 100 RATES 2204

1. The rates and charges shown in this section are established at a Class 100 baseline level. 2205 This is not to be construed, in any way, as the setting of rates or charges by SDDC. TSP 2206 must independently establish their own levels of rates and charges on less than 10,000 2207 pounds and 10,000 pounds or greater shipments of FAK or specific class-rates commodities 2208 by utilizing the percentage of class provisions in the DOD tender. 2209

SECTION A

2220 2. This section is designed to be used only in conjunction with Item 1, Section D-1 2221

(Intrastate Point to Point Rates) or Table D, Section E, of the tender, which enables TSP 2222 to show their actual rates and charges for FAK and specific class-rated commodities as 2223 percentages of the baseline Class 100 rates and minimum charges. For example, to use 2224 Table D, Section E of the tender, TSP must ensure their tenders are completed in the 2225 following manner: 2226

2227 Section Item Instructions 2228

Section Item Instructions 2229

Table D. If a TSP is offering rates on specific commodities, the 2230 percentage above, below, or equal to the level of Class 100 baseline rates 2231 shown in Paragraph 8 must be shown in the “Specific NMFC or DOD 2232 Unique Commodities” field. A TSP may offer rates on FAK and specific 2233 commodities in the same tender, provided that the codes and 2234 descriptions for both FAK and the specific commodities covered are 2235 listed in Item 14, Section A of the tender. 2236

2237

A 144 Check the appropriate “Classification used” field. (If the tender applies

only to commodities covered by the DOD-unique codes and descriptions

shown in Appendix B of this publication, check the appropriate field).

Then indicate, either by classification number or description, the articles

that rates shown in Table D of Section E will apply.

15 If the rates offered in Table D is based on a released value, read Part IV,

Section A, Paragraph 14-Released Value in this section, before completing

this item.

16 Place an X in the “Section E” field.

§17 Check the “Less than 10,000 pounds” field and/or the “10,000 pounds or

greater” field. This is to designate DOD routing authority only, and will

not restrict the application of less-than-truckload rates or rates above

10,000 pounds.

B TSP must enter this publication as the governing publication.

E 1 Enter the territorial SPLC codes and locations from which the rates and

charges in Table D will apply.

2

Enter the territorial SPLC codes and locations to which the rates in

Table D will apply.

3 If the rates in Table D is applied between the territorial locations

specified in Items 1 and 2, an “X” must be entered in this field.

5 Select Rate Qualifier “PQ”. Tables A, B, and C may not be used to

show percent of class rates-but alternatively, TSP may select a different

Rate Qualifier (“PH” or “PZ”) and use Table B to express a rate not

related to percent of class rates.

SECTION A

2238 F 1-2 TSP using Table D of Section E must enter in the three-character field 2239

the two-character alpha codes and sub-items charge number of the 2240 security and accessorial services which they wish to provide, together 2241 with their individually established charge for each accessorial and 2242 security service offered. 2243 2244

3. Examples. 2245 2246

a. FAK. If a TSP wishes to file percent of class rates applying on all FAK 2247 shipments subject to a released value of $1.75 per pound per article from, to, and between 2248 all points in the CONUS, the tender fields would be completed as follows: 2249

2250


2252 A 14 Since FAK is covered by the DOD Unique codes and 2253

descriptions shown in the motor section of this, the “DOD 2254 Unique” field would be checked. Enter “999912” under “Number” 2255

Column and “Freight All Kinds” or “FAK” under the “Description” 2256 Column, and include the released value as part of the commodity 2257 Description. 2258

percentage of the Class 100 rate applicable to the commodities shown in Item 2361 14 of Section A. In this instance, both crated household goods and personal 2362 effects are assigned a Class 100 rating in the NMFC when they are released to a 2363 value not exceeding $50,000 per shipment; or $4.00 times the net weight of the 2364 HHG/unaccompanied baggage shipment, in pounds, not to exceed $50,000, 2365

whichever is greater. The figure entered in this field should reflect the TSP’s 2366

selected percentage of the baseline Class 100 rate shown in this publication. For 2367

example, 150 percent would be entered as 150; 100 percent as 100; 75 percent 2368 as 075, etc. See instructions for FAK example. 2369

SECTION A

2376

4. To determine the applicable baseline Class 100 rates or minimum charge for distances 2377

exceeding 3,500 miles, add $0.50 to the applicable 3,500-mile baseline rate or charge for 2378

each 100 miles or fraction thereof that the distance exceeds 3,500 miles. 2379

2380

5. Class 100 Rates Explanation. The Class 100 baseline rates and minimum charges have 2381 been constructed by SDDC. It is suggested the TSP filing tenders based on Rate Qualifier 2382 “PQ” construct individual tenders according to the territorial applications of the various 2383 motor rate bureaus. Filing in this manner will permit the TSP to protect appropriate LTL 2384 and TL class rate levels in various bureau territories. 2385

2386 6. Rating Multiple Shipments. All shipments tendered to one TSP on one calendar day 2387

by one consignor consigned to the same consignee at the same delivery site shall be 2388 considered as one shipment for rating purposes. To receive the benefit of reduced charges 2389 applicable to multiple shipments, shipper shall cross-reference the bills of lading of 2390 individual shipments to a single bill of lading, or further identify all multiple shipments 2391

tendered to the same TSP on one calendar day which are consigned to the same 2392 consignee at the same delivery site. 2393

2394 7. Less-Than-Truckload Rates. Reference to “less than 10,000 pounds” and “10,000 2395 pounds or greater” in the tender is to identify shipment routing authority designated to the 2396

Installation Transportation Officer (ITO), and SDDC respectively. This reference will not 2397 restrict or prevent the application of all rates in the Class 100 from applying to LTL 2398 shipments weighing more than 9,999 pounds, nor will such reference restrict or prohibit 2399

the alternation of rates between LTL rates and all truckload rates and/or charges. 2400

Minimum weights of 20,000 pounds and greater are considered TL minimums. 2401 2402 8. Baseline Class 100 Rates in Cents Per Hundred Pounds. To use the below table, 2403

follow this example: An FAK shipment weighing 2,639 pounds at a distance of 362 2404 miles, would fall into weight bracket (2,000-4,999) and mileage bracket (351-374) 2405

resulting in a baseline rate of 1308 cents per hundred pounds (cwt). The TSP rates are 2406 published in Section E, Table D, of the tender as a percentage of class e.g., 47 percent. 2407 This indicates that the TSP is offering to move this shipment at a rate, which is 47 percent 2408 of the applicable baseline rate. Using these shipment parameters, GFM automatically 2409 calculates the charges as follows: 2410

2411 1308 cwt X .47 (5) = 615 (614.76 rounded) X 26.39 (2,639 lbs./100) = $162.30 2412

SECTION A

2444

V. CARRIER PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION PROGRAM (CPEP) 2445 2446

A. GENERAL 2447 2448 The CPEP is designed to ensure that DOD surface shippers get the best available service 2449 from CONUS commercial cargo TSPs. The CPEP establishes specific elements of service 2450

that are key indicators of TSP performance. It also establishes minimum levels of 2451 satisfactory performance and prescribes procedures for denial of DOD cargo shipments to 2452 any TSP that fails to provide satisfactory service. 2453

2454

B. SERVICE ELEMENTS, CARRIER PERFORMNCE MODULE (CPM) AND 2455 STANDARDS 2456

2457 Service elements and standards include, but not limited to, specific operational factors for 2458 timely, safe, and cost-effective movement of DOD cargo. Letters of Warning (LOW) or 2459

notification of non-use, for up to 90 days, will be issued by shipping activities or SDDC 2460 for failure to meet these standards. The primary method of reporting service failures will 2461

be with the use of the Carrier Performance Module (CPM) application in GFM or the 2462 CPM Web Services. CPM automates the incident reporting and TSP notification process. 2463 2464

1. Non-selection (“N” code) incidents are used to document reasons why a TSP was not 2465 selected for a move and do not count against a TSP’s overall performance rating. 2466

However; if trends are detected, SDDC may investigate to determine if a problem exists 2467 with the TSP or the shipping activity. “N” code incidents must have remarks entered by 2468

the reporter to explain and justify the reason for the non-selection (e.g., date and time 2469 TSP was contacted or attempted contact was made, name of TSP representative.). TSPs 2470

have the ability to view incidents and leave remarks. “N” codes with examples are as 2471 follows: 2472 2473

N1 – Excusable Refusal 2474 2475 When the TSP declines a non-Automation of Transportation Request (ATR) shipment 2476 within one hour of offer, or if a TSP declines any FAK shipment that is to be picked up in 2477 less than 24 hours or any TPS shipment that has to be picked up in less than 48 hours. 2478 Also used for ATR shipments when shipping activities fail to contact a TSP for shipment 2479

award within one hour of offer closing. For shipping activities using the auto-award 2480 process in ATR, the system may not generate an automatic notification to TSPs 2481

indicating whether or not they were awarded the load. However, immediately after the 2482 offer’s closing, the screen in ATR will change status to “Awarded” for TSPs that have 2483 been automatically awarded the load. It is the TSP’s responsibility to monitor their 2484 shipment offer status. 2485

SECTION A

2491

N2 – TSP Unreachable 2492

2493 Example includes when the TSP fails to answer the phone (or the phone number or email 2494 is wrong or returned as undeliverable) for tendered, non- ATR shipments. Shippers will 2495 allow at least five rings when attempting to contact TSPs via phone. 2496

2497

N3 - Low Cost Not Used In Order To Use Carrier Onsite 2498 Example includes a TSP that just unloaded freight at an installation and is available to 2499 take an outbound load. This is for loads departing origin within the next 24 hours only; 2500 reporter must enter a valid explanation in the “Remarks” block when using this code. 2501

2502

N4 - Traffic Distribution 2503 Example includes if a shipper had two or more loads going from the same origin to the 2504

same destination on the same day. The shipper distributes the two or more loads among 2505 two or more TSPs. Reporter must enter a valid explanation in the “Remarks” block when 2506

using this code. This code cannot be used with shipments requiring one conveyance. 2507

2508

N5 - Required Small Business Selection 2509 When small business selection is a requirement in a contract. 2510

2511 N6 - Contract Requires Specific Requested Mode 2512 When a contract requires a specific mode/equipment 2513

2514 N7 - Lower Cost TSP Not Used Due To Past Performance: Loss/Damage 2515 When a shipper has documented proof (via a TDR, CPM incident, or other acceptable 2516 documentation) of previous loss or damage by a specific TSP. 2517

2518 N8 - Lower Cost TSP Not Used Due To Past Performance: Transit Time 2519 When a shipper has documented proof (via a TDR, CPM incident, or other acceptable 2520

documentation) of a TSP that either has exceeded standard transit times as stated in the 2521

DTR Chapter 202 Tables 202-3/202-4 (DOD Standard Transit Time Guide) or delivered 2522 after the RDD (NOTE: standard transit time is the default; if a shipper decides to put an 2523

RDD on a BL that exceeds standard transit time, the Standard Transit Time Guide 2524 overrules that). 2525

2526

N9 - Lower Cost TSP Not Used Due To Past Performance: No-shows 2527 When a shipper has documented proof (via a TDR, CPM incident, or other acceptable 2528

documentation) of previous no-shows by a specific TSP. 2529

2530 NA - Lower Cost TSP Not Used Due To Past Performance: Mechanical failures 2531 When a shipper has documented proof (via a TDR, CPM incident, or other acceptable 2532 documentation) of trends in mechanical breakdowns of the same vehicle/piece of 2533

equipment by a specific TSP. 2534

2535 NC - Carrier Not Used Due To Multi-Equipment Requirement 2536 When the same TSP must haul a combination load and more than one BL with the same 2537

67


SECTION A

2538 origin and destination is used. Examples include: AA&E or shipments requiring 2539

segregation provisions IAW the 49 CFR and/or DOD regulations, or other TPS shipments 2540 that would necessitate the combination of more than one type of equipment. 2541

2542 ND - Low Cost Carrier Not Used Due To Mission Requirements/Convenience Of 2543

The Government 2544 When a situation dictates a specific TSP must be selected for the shipment. Reporter must 2545 enter a valid explanation in the “Remarks” block when using this code. Contact SDDC 2546 for further guidance 2547

2548 2. Service Failure (“F” code) incidents are used to document incidents where TSPs fail to 2549

meet service elements and standards, and may result in further carrier performance action 2550

by shipping activities or SDDC. All “F” code incidents must have valid remarks entered 2551

by the reporter to explain and justify the reason for the service failure. Remarks will paint 2552 a clear picture to shipping activities, TSPs and SDDC of the nature of the incident, 2553

personnel involved, and specific actions that resulted in the CPM incident. Failure to 2554 justify a CPM service failure incident may render that incident unusable towards the 2555

identification of trends or follow-on actions taken against a TSP. TSPs have the ability to 2556 view incidents and leave remarks. “F” codes with examples are as follows: 2557

2558 F1 - Shipment Refusal 2559

2560 a. Used for tendered non-ATR shipments when a TSP fails to accept or decline a 2561

shipment within one hour of offer. Shipments must be offered at least 24 hours in 2562

advance or 48 hours when TPS is required. A Transportation Officer (TO) can specify a 2563 shorter response time for high- priority shipments, but cannot charge a TSP with a refusal 2564

if the TSP declines the shipment. 2565 2566

b. When a TSP accepts a shipment using the ATR process and then refuses the 2567

shipment when contacted within one hour of the ATR offer closing, the TSP will be 2568

issued a FK Commitment Withdrawal. If a TSP accepts a shipment using the ATR 2569 process and is subsequently automatically awarded the load by the system within an hour 2570 after that offer's closing (as indicated by the "Awarded" status in ATR), the TSP is 2571 expected to follow through with that acceptance when the shipping activity contacts the 2572 TSP to make arrangements. The shipping activity must contact the TSP within 4 hours of 2573

the spot bid or ATR-automatic award to make arrangements. TSPs that fail to follow 2574 through with their acceptance when the shipping activity makes contact for final 2575

arrangements will be issued an FK Commitment Withdrawal. 2576 2577

F2 - Improper or Inadequate Equipment 2578 2579 When a TSP arrives at origin with equipment different from what the shipper ordered and 2580

no equipment substitutions had been agreed upon by shipper and TSP prior to arrival. 2581 Code may also be used when a TSP arrives for pickup or delivery with unsafe equipment 2582 (e.g.; brake or head lights inoperable; holes in the trailer bed; bald or tread bare tires; 2583

mechanical failure; missing chains for tie down to rail car; etc.). TSPs must provide safe 2584

68


SECTION A

2585 transportation equipment IAW Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Violations of 2586

49 CFR Subparts A thru I (parts, accessories, and safe operation) and 396 CFR 2587 (equipment inspection, repair, and maintenance) are included. 2588 2589

F3 - TSP Unable to Meet Service Requirements 2590

2591 Examples include, but are not limited to: TPS drivers that do not have adequate security 2592 clearance or have had driving privileges on military installations revoked; drivers that fail 2593 to meet general qualifications as defined in 49 CFR Part 391, Subpart B § 391.11 (e.g., 2594 can read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, 2595 to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, to respond to 2596

official inquiries, and to make entries on reports and records); and/or when a TSP fails to 2597

acquire the proper permits for the cargo being transported. 2598

2599

F4 - Failure to pick up at Origin as Scheduled 2600 2601 When a TSP fails to report to origin at the agreed-upon time and place as scheduled with 2602

the TO. This includes no-shows as well as pickups where the TSP is late without prior 2603 coordination. 2604 2605

F5 - TSP Failed to Meet DDD/RDD 2606

2607 When a TSP fails to deliver by the RDD as shown on the BL. Shippers cannot charge a 2608 2609

TSP hauling non-sensitive/general cargo or FAK with failure to meet RDD if they did not 2610 annotate a proper date on the BL consistent with the DTR Chapter 202 Tables 202-3/202-4 2611

(DOD Standard Transit Time Guide). However, as applied to AA&E shipments, TPS cargo 2612 must be delivered IAW the standard transit time or the RDD, whichever is shortest. This is 2613 consistent with the “Explosive Safety Rule” in DOD Directive 6055.9E, i.e. minimum 2614

exposure rules for explosives. 2615

2616 F6 - Time-In-Transit 2617 2618 When a TSP fails to follow standard transit times as defined in the DTR Chapter 202 2619 Tables 202-3/202-4 (DOD Standard Transit Time Guide). Each BL is considered a shipment 2620

regardless of the number of pieces or TCNs moving under the BL or the number of delivery 2621 points. Receiving activities must report excessive transit time to shipping activities so any 2622

necessary action can be taken against the TSP. 2623

2624 F7 - Failure to Provide Protective Service 2625 2626 When a TSP fails to provide SNS, DCS, or any other Protective Service as annotated on 2627

the BL and defined in the DTR Chapter 205, Table 205-8, while in transit from origin to 2628 destination. TSPs must follow all requirements for the designated protective service as 2629 stated in the MFTURP-1. 2630

2631

69


SECTION A

2632

F8 - Failure to Provide Signature and Tally Record 2633 2634 When a TSP fails to properly annotate and provide a DD Form 1907, Signature and Tally 2635 Record, as required on the BL for the cargo being transported. 2636 2637

F9 - Mishandling Freight 2638 2639 Trans loading of DOD vehicles is prohibited. Once DOD vehicles and/or equipment is 2640 tied down or otherwise secured in place on the conveyance, the Item 10quipment without 2641 consent of the shipper. In the event of an emergency, trans loads and other response 2642 actions must be coordinated with the shipper or owning military service. DTTS can assist 2643

with coordination between these parties if needed for loads requiring the SNS accessorial. 2644

Other examples include, but are not limited to: damaged or missing transportation seals; 2645

improper loading, packing, blocking, or bracing; improper conduct at an installation; 2646 improper tie down or protection of cargo; and/or improper use of intermodal services. 2647

2648

FA - Loss or Damage 2649 2650 When a TSP is responsible for loss or damage of cargo. Failure to settle loss and damage 2651 claims IAW the DTR Part II Chapter 211 is also included. A TDR must be issued IAW 2652

DTR Part II Chapter 210. 2653 2654

FB - Improper Routing 2655 2656

When a TSP fails to follow DOT-authorized routes for the cargo they are transporting. 2657 2658

FC - Use of Bad Language, Offensive Behavior 2659 2660 Examples include, but are not limited to, drivers or any TSP representatives that harass or 2661

use abusive language or lewd behavior towards or in the presence of DOD 2662

representatives. Any documented incident involving the use of intemperate, vulgar, or 2663 abusive language; drug or alcohol abuse; or engagement in offensive conduct may result 2664 in a TSP being placed in immediate non-use status or a recommendation to SDDC for 2665 disqualification. 2666 2667

FD - Nonpayment of Just Debts 2668 2669 Failure to pay just debts or complaints from subcontractors that the TSP failed to pay for 2670 services contracted or otherwise demonstrates lack of financial responsibility and may 2671 subject Government shipments to actual and/or potential delay, frustration, seizure or 2672 detention. 2673 2674

FE - Falsification of a Syncada delivery 2675 2676 Used when a TSP changes the status of a shipment to “delivered” in the TPPS prior to 2677

delivering the freight. 2678

70


SECTION A

2679

FF- Double Brokering 2680 2681 When a TSP brokers freight to a carrier who then brokers the freight to another carrier. 2682 Double brokering is not authorized. Brokers awarded DOD freight are responsible to 2683 ensure that its underlying TSP(s) handle and deliver freight without the underlying TSP 2684 contracting the use of additional TSPs and brokers. General Commodity carriers are not 2685

allowed to act in the capacity of a broker. General Commodity TSPs awarded DOD 2686 freight are required to utilize organic assets/fleet to transport cargo. This policy prevents 2687 cargo loss and maximizes in transit visibility. Shippers at the origin shipping activity or 2688 within their AOR that have determined a broker has double brokered a shipment, may 2689 place a broker in immediate non-use for up to 90 days. Brokers that have failed to rectify 2690

their double brokering problem with the shipper may be placed in non-use for an 2691

additional 90 days. 2692

2693

FG - Drug/Alcohol/Firearm Abuse 2694 2695 Examples include a driver that arrives intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. TSPs 2696

will be placed in immediate non-use for such incidents, and may not charge for vehicle 2697 furnished not used. 2698 2699

FH - Theft- TSP Responsible 2700

2701 When a TSP is responsible for the theft of DOD cargo. A TDR must be issued IAW DTR 2702 Part II Chapter 210 2703

2704

FJ - Shortage – TSP Responsible 2705 2706 When a TSP is responsible for the shortage of DOD cargo. A TDR must be issued IAW 2707 DTR Part II Chapter 210. 2708

2709

FK - Commitment Withdrawal 2710 2711 When a TSP responds to an ATR offer as able to accept the load, and then declines at 2712 time of award or prior to pick up; or if the selected TSP is unreachable after a reasonable 2713 amount of attempts by the shipper. Shippers cannot charge a TSP with Commitment 2714

Withdrawal if they fail to contact/award the TSP within one hour of ATR offer closing, 2715 or if systems using the auto-award process fail to show the offer status as “Awarded” in 2716

ATR. Reporter must annotate the date and time ATR offer closed and the date and time 2717 they contacted the TSP to award the load in the Remarks block of the incident. 2718

2719 FL - Unauthorized Load/Broker Board Posting 2720 2721 When a TSP posts shipment information to any type of load/broker board with payment 2722 information prior to having been awarded that load by the shipper. Only TSPs with 2723 proper authority from DOT may post to load/broker boards; no TPS loads (to include 675 2724

Signature & Tally service) may be posted. 2725

71


SECTION A

2726

FM - Shipment Refusal- Spot Bid 2727 2728 When a TSP bids on a shipment via Spot Bid on the Web, then declines the shipment 2729 when the shipper calls to award the load. A TSP that submits a bid is assumed to be 2730 ready, willing, and able to perform the transportation as stated in the bid. Shippers cannot 2731 charge a TSP with Shipment Refusal- Spot Bid if they fail to contact the TSP within four 2732

hours of bid closing. The shipping activity must contact the TSP within four hours of the 2733 spot bid or ATR-automatic award to make arrangements. Shipment refusal may result in 2734 immediate nonuse. 2735

2736 When a TSP bids on a SDDC-negotiated shipment, and then declines the shipment when 2737

the shipper calls to award the load. A TSP that submits a negotiation is assumed to be ready, 2738

willing, and able to perform the transportation as stated in the negotiation. Shippers cannot 2739

charge a TSP with Shipment Refusal- Negotiation if they fail to contact the TSP within 24 hours 2740 after receiving rates from the SDDC Negotiations team. Shipment refusal may result in 2741

immediate nonuse. 2742 2743

FP - Other Service Failure 2744

Other service failures not covered in the codes above or below (contact the SDDC G3 2745

Domestic Transportation Requirements Branch at usarmy.scott.sddc.mbx.carrier-2746 [email protected] or call 618 220-5894 for clarification). 2747

2748

FQ - Failure to pick up at origin on scheduled date 2749

When a TSP fails to report to origin at the agreed-upon date as scheduled with the TO. 2750 This includes no-shows as well as pickups where the TSP is late without prior 2751

coordination. This code is used primarily for Contract-specific shipments. 2752 2753

FR - Failure to pick up at origin on scheduled time 2754 2755 When a TSP fails to report to origin at the agreed-upon time as scheduled with the TO. 2756

This includes no-shows as well as pickups where the TSP is late without prior 2757 coordination. This code is used primarily for Contract-specific shipments. 2758

2759

FS - Failure to deliver at destination on scheduled date 2760 2761 When a TSP fails to report to destination at the agreed-upon date as scheduled with the 2762

TO. This code is used primarily for Contract-specific shipments. 2763

2764

FT - Failure to deliver at destination on scheduled time 2765 2766 When a TSP fails to report to destination at the agreed-upon time as scheduled with the 2767 TO. This code is used primarily for Contract-specific shipments. 2768

2769 2770

72


SECTION A

2771

3. HQ SDDC personnel enter “G” code incidents where TSPs fail to meet additional service 2772 elements and standards which may result in further carrier performance action. These codes are 2773 primarily used for TPS shipments that require SNS by the DTTS. Incidents using these codes 2774 may only be entered in CPM by HQ SDDC personnel. “G” codes with examples are as follows: 2775

2776 G1 - TRANSS Inspection Finding 2777 2778

When a Transportation Safety and Security team inspection reveals a discrepancy in TSP 2779 performance. 2780

2781 G2 - TRANSS Inspection Failure 2782

2783 When a Transportation Safety and Security team inspection reveals a failure in TSP 2784 performance. 2785 2786

G3 - DTTS Related Failure: Trailer Tracking (DCS) 2787 2788 Trailer Tracking (DCS): Examples include trends in false “Untethered” and/or “Door 2789

Open” alerts, failure to register DCS-equipped trailers with DTTS prior to use, and failure to 2790 provide DCS when required. 2791 2792

G4 - DTTS Related Failure: Satellite Motor Surveillance (SNS): Examples include 2793 failure to register SNS unit with DTTS prior to use, failure to enable/disable, lost signal, 2794

and failure to provide SNS when required. 2795

2796 G5 - DTTS Related Failure: Incorrect Messages: When TSP driver(s) fail to send 2797 correct SNS codes IAW the MFTURP-1, Item 111. 2798

2799 G6 - DTTS Related Failure: Breakdown 2800

2801 When a TSP vehicle carrying a SNS shipment experiences mechanical failure. 2802 Mechanical failure is defined as any condition of the conveyance or related equipment 2803 that requires repair or replacement of parts while in transit. Reporters cannot charge a 2804

TSP with this service failure if the breakdown/mechanical failure is a result of 2805 circumstances beyond the TSP’s control (e.g., debris/objects in roadway, flat tires, 2806 accidents where the TSP is not at fault, and force majeure situations). 2807

2808 G7 - DTTS Related Failure: Accident (TSP at fault) 2809 2810 Accident (TSP at fault): When a TSP driver carrying a SNS shipment causes an accident. 2811

2812 G8 - DTTS Related Failure: Other 2813 2814 Any DTTS-related service failure not covered in the codes above. 2815

2816

* Tier may depend upon existence of trends, importance of shipment or case-by-case basis 2845 One (1) Tier 1 Service Failure = Immediate non-use for 30 days (1st Offense). 2846

Two (2) Tier 2 Service Failures in 30 days = Letter of Warning or non-use action. 2847 Three (3) Tier 3 Service Failures in 30 days = Letter of Warning or non-use action. 2848

Two (2) Letters of Warning in 60 days = Non-use action. 2849 Subsequent Offenses of Tier 1 Service Failures = 60 - 90 days Non-use. 2850 Subsequent Offenses of Tier 2 Service Failures (after a Letter of Warning has been issued) 2851

= 60 - 90 days Non-use. 2852 Subsequent Offenses of Tier 3 Service Failures (after a Letter of Warning has been issued) 2853

= 60 - 90 days Non-use. 2854 Continuous pattern of Service Failures = referral to HQ, SDDC Domestic Transportation 2855

Requirements Branch for further review and possible Nationwide non-use or TARP that 2856 may result in disqualification from hauling DOD cargo. 2857

2858 5. SDDC will monitor TSPs’ overall performance and determine when a pattern 2859

of non-use actions and service failures documented by shipper(s) warrants further non-2860

use or disqualification. “G” code service failures will be evaluated on a case by case 2861

basis for determining performance actions. 2862 2863

6. SDDC will conduct quarterly reviews to monitor and evaluate TSP performance 2864 nationwide. The enterprise performance standard will be 90% and is calculated by 2865 comparing shipments to service failures entered into CPM. As an example, a TSP with 20 2866

awarded shipments for the quarter and two service failures would be at the 90th 2867 percentile. LOCs, LOWs and/or non-use actions will be issued each quarter as outlined 2868

SDDC decisions and/or present their case during a Transportation Review Board (TRB) in situations 2880 where disqualification is considered. Note SDDC reserves the right to place TSPs in nonuse and/or 2881

disqualification outside the table for egregious one-time incidents. It’s encouraged TSPs actively 2882 review their performance in CPM and remedy the cause of any failures. TSPs are also reminded to 2883 annotate their remarks of reported incidents in CPM as both shipper and TSP remarks are 2884

important as SDDC uses them to adjudicate disagreements. 2885 2886

TSPs should not contest service failures and associated shipper actions directly with SDDC 2887 without first attempting to resolve the alleged service failure/action with the responsible 2888

shipper. Shippers and TSPs should address issues with SDDC when parties cannot come to 2889 an agreement. 2890

2891

C. TSP NOTIFICATIONS 2892

2893 1. Letter of Concern (LOC). A LOC may be issued by SDDC for TSP performance issue(s) 2894

or trends determined as not meeting minimum performance standards. A LOC gives the TSP 2895 an opportunity to take corrective action prior to SDDC issuing a LOW or Non-Use action. A 2896 LOC may be issued based on the following incidents including, but not limited to: minor 2897 infractions; possible concerns raised by the DOD community; or downward trends in TSP’s 2898 performance (i.e., rising numbers of service failures throughout the DOD enterprise). 2899

2900

2901

76


SECTION A

2902 2903

2. LOW. A LOW is issued by a TO or by SDDC to a TSP for unacceptable performance. A 2904 LOW serves as notice to a TSP that if violations or performance problems continue, non-use 2905 action may follow. The LOW may request the TSP provide additional information on the 2906 incident for review. LOWs may precede a notice of non-use, but are not required for serious 2907 infractions resulting in non-use action. 2908

2909 3. Letter of Non-Use. Non-use or disqualification action may be taken for specific incidents 2910 of unsatisfactory service or failure to perform, or a record or trend of unsatisfactory service 2911 or failure to perform IAW the terms of negotiated agreements, tariffs, tenders of service, or 2912 BLs, service agreements, governing SDDC rules publications, or other similar arrangements. 2913

With the use of CPM/CPM Web Services, non-use action can be from specified BLOCs or 2914

SPLCs and can be narrowed down to non-use for shipments requiring specified Accessorial 2915

Services. A Letter of Non-Use will advise TSPs of the period of non-use, the reinstatement 2916 date, and of appeal procedures. A shipper may place a TSP in local non-use for up to 90 days 2917

for shipments originating from their activity AOR followed by a 90-day probationary period. 2918 While under probation, any additional service failures can result in additional non-use action. 2919

2920 4. Disapproval from the Freight Carrier Registration Program (FCRP) may be taken by 2921 SDDC against individuals and affiliates of a TSP(s) for conduct or action which is 2922

inappropriate, unethical, or violates any provision of DOT or SDDC regulations and policies. 2923 In severe cases, SDDC may conduct Transportation Review Boards (TRBs) per guidance in 2924

SDDC Regulation 15-1, Procedure for Disqualifying and Placing Transportation Service 2925 Providers (TSP) in Non-Use. TRBs are used to determine if further non-use action or 2926

disqualification is necessary. Disqualification is the act by HQ SDDC of excluding a TSP or 2927 TSP employee from participating in DOD transportation programs. Only SDDC has 2928

disqualification authority. Disqualification may be taken by SDDC as a result of no or 2929 insufficient response on a non-use action and/or a result of TRB findings and determination. 2930 Disqualification action may be taken independently by SDDC, or a TO may request SDDC 2931

disqualify a TSP, if a TSP or its representative commits a violation that is so egregious that 2932

the TO believes it warrants a disqualification action. Refer to SDDC Regulation 15-1 for 2933 further information. 2934

2935 5. Reporting timeframes. Service failures need be entered into CPM within 15 days from the 2936 date of the alleged incident. LOC, LOW and non-use actions need to be initiated within 20 2937

days from date of the latest service failure. 2938 2939

D. TSP APPEAL: 2940 2941 1. A TSP may appeal a non-use action in writing to the office that initiated the non-use 2942 action within 15 calendar days. Offices that initiated non-use action will respond to any 2943 appeals from TSP within seven business days. 2944

2. If the appeal is denied, the TSP may appeal those decisions via e-mail or United States 2945 Postal Service Registered Mail to the further appeal authority which is determined by the 2946 level of the office that initiated the action-- either the installation CDR or SDDC’s Domestic 2947

77


SECTION A

2948

Transportation Requirements Branch. The appeal authority may be based on the severity of 2949 the TSP's infraction. 2950

3. If the shipper selects the installation CDR as the further appeal authority and the 2951 installation CDR denies the appeal, the TSP may appeal those decisions to SDDC’s 2952

Domestic Transportation Requirements Branch. Appeals must be received via email or 2953 USPS registered mail. SDDC is the final appeal authorities for all appeals. 2954 2955 4. It is the responsibility of each TSP to review their performance data in CPM. Comments 2956 from both the shipping activity and the TSP contribute greatly to the CPM data appeal 2957

adjudication process. TSPs are able to leave comments in the Remarks block of a CPM 2958 incident, and are encouraged to contact the reporter/shipper that wrote up the incident when 2959

disputing individual service failures. Shipping activities will respond to disputes from TSPs 2960 regarding specific CPM incidents within seven business days. 2961

2962 5. SDDC will review appeals only if the TSP has done their due diligence in resolving 2963

incident issues at the local level first. If appealing to SDDC, forward appeal to: 2964 [email protected] or SDDC, Chief, Domestic 2965

Transportation Requirements Branch, 1 Soldier Way, Building 1900W Scott AFB, IL 2966 62225-5006. 2967

6. Shipping activities or SDDC may resolve incidents in CPM if errors with incident 2968 recording have occurred or following a successful appeal from a TSP. 2969

2970

C. Assistance by Government Personnel to Transport Service Providers 3000

3001 1. For the purpose of promoting safety, expediting transportation, and delivering shipments 3002 of explosives and other dangerous articles, the military services may extend any technical 3003 assistance and aid considered necessary in connection with moving, salvage, demolition, 3004

neutralization, or other disposition of such Government-owned shipments being transported 3005 or stored by TSP. 3006

3007 2. Upon a TSP’s request for assistance by government, employees may be provided in 3008 unusual or emergency circumstances for the benefit of the TSP. However, the TSP may be 3009

held financially responsible for all actual costs and expenses incurred by DOD (including 3010

salaries and wages paid by DOD) that inure to the benefit of the TSP. DOD personnel act 3011 and perform in these instances as government employees in an advisory capacity to directly 3012 benefit the TSP. DOD personnel assigned to assist TSP will retain their status as employees 3013

of the United States Government and, as such, are entitled to all of the benefits afforded 3014 U.S. government employees as provided by law. In no event shall DOD recognize or submit 3015

to any action for property damage in connection with such assistance furnished By DOD 3016 employees, when actual labor supervision or other services are performed at the TSP’s 3017

request. It is not the intention of this provision that DOD employees compete with private 3018 industry where services can be readily provided by the private sector. 3019

3020 3. When a TSP requests DOD personnel provide assistance, the TO will prepare a self 3021 addressed letter in the form of a request for DOD service that must be signed by an 3022

authorized representative of the TSP. The letter will state that the TSP acknowledges 3023

responsibility for performance of the services requested from DOD, and that performance 3024

of the services by DOD personnel does not relieve the TSP of liability. When assistance is 3025 provided under emergency conditions, where a delay might contribute to further hardships 3026 or possible disaster, the letter shall be prepared and signed after the service is performed. 3027

3028 4. Collection of payments for services rendered under this ITEM shall be in accordance 3029

with user charges of the DOD Financial Management Regulations. 3030 3031

destroyed while in the custody of the TSP for transportation as FAK, the TSP’s liability 3081 will not be for the depreciated replacement value (i.e., fair market value) of the item but 3082 the full replacement value, without depreciation. 3083 3084 2. FAK shipments governed by this publication are subject only to the released liabilities 3085

stated above. 3086

3087

3. Seventy-two (72) hours’ notice shall be given to the TSP prior to expected pick-up 3088 date for shipments that require additional cargo liability insurance. 3089

3090

F. Mode Substitution 3091

1. Multi-modal service is transportation of a shipment by a mode (motor, rail, air, water) 3092 other than that used to pick up the shipment. This service is to be provided at the option 3093

of the TSP, with prior TO concurrence, when multi-modal service is necessary due to 3094 circumstances set forth in paragraph 2 below. However, in no event shall any TSP be 3095 permitted under this provision to utilize multi-modal service that will: 3096

3097 a. Result in additional charges to the government. 3098

3099 b. Be used to procure any person or company that does not have lawful operating 3100

authority for the mode selected. 3101 3102

c. Operate to reduce or eliminate the level of liability of the TSP under the original 3103 terms and conditions of the BL. 3104

3105 2.

The TSP shall remain primarily liable for any loss 3108 or damage to the shipment. In no event may motor TSP, freight forwarders, rail TSP, or 3109

water TSP utilize multi-modal service in order to avoid application of the Carmack 3110

Amendment or the terms and conditions set forth on the BL, or to otherwise circumvent 3111

the legal requirement that all TSP have proper operating authority for the shipment or the 3112 leg of the shipment at issue. 3113 3114 3. Multi-modal service may not be used for DOD shipments when: 3115 3116

a. The shipment contains transportation protective services (TPS); 3117 3118 3119

of any subcontract for storage or transportation charges in order to eliminate “hostage 3223

freight situations, and the unlawful exercise of a state lien on federal property by 3224

subcontractors. Hostage freight situations may also be reviewed by a TSP review board to 3225 administratively determine whether a TSP is financially responsible, where a TSP fails to 3226

pay justly owed sums to one of its subcontractors. SDDC shall also have the option to 3227 conduct TSP review boards to determine whether a TSP should be held liable for 3228

damages caused to the government in a “hostage freight” situation, and file any claims as 3229 required. 3230 3231

4. The TSP has the responsibility to ensure the FS payment goes to the cost bearer. The 3383 TSP shall insert a flow-down clause requiring the pass-through of the FS payment to the 3384 cost bearer in all its transportation subcontracts and agreements with motor TSPs, freight 3385 forwarders, or brokers who provide or arrange for motor carriage for DOD authorized 3386 shippers. Include the flow-down clause in all contract tiers. The clause will require 3387

paying the FS to the cost bearer within thirty business days of the receipt of the FS 3388 payment. If there is more than one cost bearer, then the TSP pays each cost bearer his or 3389

her share of the FS payment based on the motor transportation miles provided by each 3390 cost bearer. 3391

3392 5. The TSP must include and require a flow-down clause in all its contracts, 3393 subcontracts, and agreements with motor TSPs, freight forwarders, or brokers who 3394

provide or arrange for motor carriage for DOD authorized shippers. The contracts, 3395 subcontracts and agreements must state the TSP has the sole responsibility and duty to 3396 ensure the FS payment goes to the cost bearer. All subcontractors and cost bearers must 3397

recourse or legal standing to assert a claim against DOD or the USG for payment under 3401 31 U.S.C. 3726. The clause will state all parties acknowledge that a BL listing a DOD 3402 agency, military service, other USG agency, or other authorized DTS user, as the shipper, 3403 consignee, or consignor on the BL makes the BL a non-negotiable BL. All parties agree 3404 they cannot delay delivery of cargo or demand the FS payment or any other payment as a 3405

precondition for timely delivery of a shipment. 3406 3407 6. TSP’s who fail to comply with the requirements of this provision may be subject to an 3408 administrative determination to place the TSP in non-use or suspension status. 3409

I. GENERAL MOTOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICE PROVIDER INFORMATION 3545 3546

1. This part describes general requirements for a motor TSP transporting DoD freight. In order 3547 to transport Department of Defense (DOD) freight, carriers must comply with the requirements 3548 of the Freight Carrier Registration Program (FCRP) as well as the requirements and safety and 3549 security standards contained in the Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR), Part II, Cargo 3550

94


SECTION B

3551 Movement; the Department of Transportation Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (DOT 49 3552

CFR); and this Publication; as well as the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor 3553 Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA); including the Safety and Fitness Electronic Records 3554 (SAFER) System; the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. (NMFTA); and U.S. 3555 Bank Syncada (aka Power Track). 3556

3557

2. For rates based on distance, TSP charges are based on the applicable mileage calculated by 3558 DTOD’s short-line miles, unless otherwise indicated in this publication. As a rule, any incident 3559 involving DoD cargo should be reported to the appropriate contact listed in Section A, VIII, 3560 Emergency Notification Information, Table 1. 3561 3562

ITEM 1 TRANSPORTATION SERVICE PROVIDER SECURITY

CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS

3563

Dual Driver Protective Service (DDP) and Protective Security Service (PSS) transportation 3564 protective services (TPS) can only be provided by a TSP holding a valid facility security 3565

clearance (FCL) at the level of SECRET or higher issued by the Defense Security Service (DSS). 3566 TSP employees (to include drivers, contractors and subcontractors) who have access to or handle 3567 TPS shipments, or have advanced knowledge of the shipments’ contents or transportation routes, 3568

will have an Interim Secret or a final SECRET eligibility determination depicted in the Joint 3569 Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS). 3570 3571

ITEM 3 TRAILER SECURITY REQUIREMENT

3572 1. In accordance with DOD 5100.76M, TSP-provided trailer door hinges and hasps used to haul 3573 AA&E shall be installed to preclude removal when doors are closed and locked. Hinges and 3574 hasps shall be attached to doors by welding bolt nuts or by riveting. 3575

3576 2. Door Hinges: For each door hinge, a minimum of one bolt must be either welded or riveted in 3577

a manner to preclude easy removal. A bolt may also be turned inward with nut on inside as long 3578 as bolt is flush with nut. The use of cotter pin-type fasteners for hinge pins is not acceptable as 3579 this device is easily removed. A bolt/nut configuration that is welded offers a better alternative to 3580 cotter pins. This requirement applies to each hinge pin. 3581

3582

3. Door Locking Hardware: On each door lever handle, seal plate, pin, and the bottom cam 3583 guide to the lock shaft, a minimum of one bolt must be either welded or riveted in a manner to 3584 preclude easy removal. A bolt may also be turned inward with nut on inside as long as bolt is 3585

flush with nut. 3586 3587

4. Soft-side trailers are an equal substitution for flatbed (AF) equipment. Soft-side trailers are 3588 not an equal substitution for closed-van (AV) equipment and shall not be substituted for AV 3589

equipment without prior approval from the shipper. The transportation protective services (TPS) 3590 shall be adjusted to meet the TPS requirements of the soft-side trailer. 3591

3592

5. The following diagrams are provided for hinge/hasp arrangement and general reference: 3593 3594

SECTION B

3595

3596

3597 3598 ITEM 5 DOD STANDARD TRANSIT TIME GUIDE – SINGLE AND DUAL-

DRIVER SHIPMENTS AND CATEGORIZED AA&E SHIPMENTS

DOD standard transit times are based on either 500 or 700 miles per day, depending on 3599 the type of shipment, as set forth in figure 5.1. Computation of transit times is as follows: 3600

3601 1. Transit times start the day after pick-up and ends on the day the shipment has been 3602 offered for delivery or delivered. The term “Delivery” does not include arrival at the 3603

destination secure holding locations prior to the shipment being offered to the consignee 3604 or delivery point. 3605

96


SECTION B

3606 2. Weekends and Federal holidays will not be counted as part of the transit time. A 3607

delivery date that falls on a non-business day (weekend/Federal holiday) will 3608 automatically be the next business day. 3609 3610 3. Exceptions to standard transit times: 3611

a. Remote sites, such as NAS Key West, FL., and any location/site accessible only by 3612

a ferry. Transit times shall be determined as listed on the BL RDD. 3613

3614

b. Operational necessity, as defined in the DTR, Chapter 202. 3615

3616 c. RDD on the BL is less than the standard transit time (Expedited Service, Item 35, 3617

in this section, will apply). 3618

3619

d. Oversize, overweight, or HAZMAT shipments that have movement constraints 3620 (i.e., daylight movement only). 3621

3622 e. Shipments under FAR-based contracts. 3623

3624 f. Truck Load (TL) service ordered (excluding SRC I and II) with one or more stop-3625 offs on a BL. Each authorized stop-off on the BL will serve as a destination and 3626

subsequent origin when calculating transit times. 3627

ITEM 11 INSPECTION OF VEHICLES

3673 TSPs will permit shipper/consignee to inspect vehicle prior to loading/unloading of DOD 3674

freight and annotate deficiencies on DD Form 626-Motor Vehicle Inspection. TSP must 3675 correct any deficiencies found at the time of inspection and take all steps considered 3676

necessary to safely transport the shipment. Vehicles determined to have deficiencies that 3677 are not corrected at the time of inspection will not be loaded. By signing the DD Form 3678 626, the driver is certifying vehicle maintenance is not required nor scheduled prior to 3679 shipment delivery. 3680

3681 For shipments of AA&E, consignor will inspect the motor conveyance according to DD 3682

1. Item 31, Exclusive Use of Trailer or Dromedary (EXC) shall apply to all shipments 3687

that prohibit loading of additional cargo. 3688 3689 2. Either conveyances sealed by shipper or TSP will not be interpreted as requiring 3690

Exclusive Use. When exclusive use or TPS is not ordered, seals applied by the shipper 3691 may be removed by the TSP and/or subsequent shippers, however in each instance new 3692

seal numbers must be annotated on the BL. 3693 3694

3. TSPs may remove seals in an emergency or at stop-off points only if authorized by 3695 TO. Replacement of the seal must be a DoD-approved seal and resealed by the 3696 individual removing the seal.

If loading or unloading extends beyond the allowable free time, then the TSP can 3877 assess a detention charge based on a charge of DEP(1)$_____ for each sixty minutes of 3878 delay that occurs during normal operating hours, which is known as detention time. If 3879 the delay is less than sixty minutes or exceeds sixty minutes, then the charge is prorated 3880

based on the actual minutes of detention time incurred. 3881

3882

6. Detention time starts when a vehicle is delayed by the shipper, consignor, destination 3883 or consignee beyond the allowable free time and ends when the vehicle is released by the 3884

shipper, consignor or consignee to either by notifying the driver or the TSP representative 3885 that the vehicle is ready for pickup. 3886

3887 7. Detention time only includes the time the vehicle is delayed during normal shipping 3888 and receiving hours. If the vehicle is delayed beyond the shipper's, consignee's or 3889

consignor's normal shipping or receiving hours, then the only delay time included in the 3890 detention time is the time occurring during normal shipping and receiving hours. Refer to 3891

door sensor, antenna). 5705 5706

4) If any of these steps are unsuccessful, the trailer cannot be loaded. The trailer 5707

5708

146


SECTION B

5709 must be de-registered from DTTS and removed from the installation for repair. The TSP 5710

will notify the shipper and DTTS of the trailers’ status. 5711 5712 d. Loading the Shipment and enabling DCS 5713 5714 1) After the shipment is loaded, the TSP will verify in their system that the door sensor 5715

is showing closed, the trailer is in a tethered status, and the location of the trailer is 5716 correct. 5717 5718 2) The driver will send an “L” status message in accordance with Item 111, 5719 Satellite Motor Surveillance Service, and will include the phrase “DCS required.” 5720

5721

3) The TSP will enable DCS and ping the trailer (in that order). This initiates the 5722

required initial trailer position report and sensor status to DTTS. Driver/dispatch must 5723 confirm a good trailer status is received by DTTS before departing with shipments. 5724

Shipment may not depart origin until a good status is received by DTTS. 5725 5726

4) Shipment is ready to depart. 5727 5728 e. Departing Protected Environment. When departing point of origin, secure holding 5729

area, or an SDDC approved TSP terminal, the driver will provide DTTS with a “D” status 5730 message in accordance with ITEM 111 and will include in the text portion of the message 5731

the trailer number and the phrase “DCS required”. 5732 5733

f. En-route authorized door open or untether event. When a shipment is underway 5734 and the driver must open the door or untether the tractor for any reason, the driver will 5735

send a “U” message in accordance with ITEM 111 to inform DTTS personnel of the 5736 reason prior to opening the doors or untethering the trailer. DCS will remain enabled. 5737 5738

g. Military Secure Holding Area. When a trailer is placed in a military secure 5739

holding/Installation area, the driver will send an “M” status message in accordance with 5740 ITEM 111. However, an “M” message will not be used when entering a military secure 5741 holding area at origin or destination. After sending the “M” status message the TSP will 5742 disable DCS prior to untethering the trailer. Prior to departing the secure holding area 5743 with DCS shipments, drivers will enter BL number(s) and trailer number and the phrase 5744

“DCS required” in the text of a “D” message. If any new shipments requiring DCS have 5745 been loaded on the vehicle or if a shipment departs with a different tractor, drivers will 5746

utilize the same procedures as stated in subparagraph d and e above. 5747 5748 h. TSP Terminal. Upon entering an SDDC approved TSP terminal, the driver will 5749 send a "T" status message in accordance with ITEM 111. After sending the “T” status 5750 message the TSP will disable DCS prior to untethering the trailer. In the text portion of 5751

the message, the driver will provide location of the terminal and a telephone number, 5752 including area code. Prior to departing a terminal with DCS shipments, drivers will 5753 utilize the same procedures as stated in subparagraph d and e above. 5754

5755

147


SECTION B

5756 i. Change in TSP equipment. Drivers will report any in-transit equipment transfer to 5757

different TSP equipment using a “C” status message. For these messages, drivers will 5758 provide the identification number(s) of the new tractor and/or trailer as well as each BL 5759 transferred. If the required information exceeds the space provided for one text message, 5760 submit as many additional status "C" messages as necessary. The driver of the tractor 5761 receiving a DCS shipment will follow loading procedures in subparagraph d above, while 5762

the driver of the tractor transferring the DCS shipments will complete “C” equipment 5763 change message. A “C” message shall be sent from both the losing and gaining tractors to 5764 identify the shipment(s) transferred. One of the “C” messages shall include an 5765 explanation of the reason for the transfer and a plain text location. If the losing tractor no 5766 longer has a DCS shipment, the TSP will disable DCS. 5767

5768

j. Disabling DCS. Upon arrival at the shipment’s final destination, the driver will send 5769

an Arrival/Awaiting Offload “A” status message in accordance with ITEM 111. DCS 5770 shall be disabled by the TSP after sending the “A” status message and prior to 5771

untethering the trailer and/or opening the doors. 5772 5773

k. At a minimum TSPs will ensure that position is reported on the initial enabling of 5774 DCS. DTTS reserves the right to require more frequent position updates when 5775 operational requirements dictate additional notification. 5776

5777 l. Failure of DCS equipment. In the event the driver suspects a DCS equipment system 5778

failure while in-transit, the driver or dispatcher will immediately notify DTTS at the 5779 number provided in Section A, VIII, Table 1. DTTS Operators will coordinate two-hour 5780

status updates with the driver with a final status report upon delivery at the destination or 5781 arrival at an activity offering secure holding, whichever occurs first. These updates may 5782

be made by “U” message or by phone, as determined by DTTS. Updates will include 5783 verification that the trailer is tethered and the doors are closed. Two hour status updates 5784 may be utilized only to mitigate in-transit DCS failures. They will not be used to 5785

supplement non-functioning DCS equipment at origin. The defective transceiver shall be 5786

removed from the DTTS database and will not be reinstated until repairs or 5787 replacements are made and the system is tested (including emergency alerts) by 5788 contacting DTTS to verify the system is operational. 5789 5790 m. If the tractor location reporting fails, trailer location reporting shall be used as a 5791

backup and the trailer shall report its location at the same time interval the tractor had 5792 been reporting. Manual rules shall still apply, as the panic button is no longer available. 5793

call DTTS at the contact number provided in Section A, VIII, Table 1 prior to testing. 6088 6089

8. The following provides tracking procedures and/or requirements: 6090

6091 a. To initiate DTTS Service: 6092

6093 (1) The vehicle driver shall begin DTTS tracking upon arrival at origin by enabling 6094

DTTS per SNSV instruction. This action will generate a "B" message to DTTS and 6095 initiates the required 15 minute position reports. 6096

6097 (2) The SNSV will provide the driver with "on-screen" verification (“DTTS ON”) 6098 that DTTS service have been enabled. The driver will not send any other SNS messages 6099

or depart a protected environment until verification is received. 6100

6101 (3) Driver will position the satellite message display unit in a manner that allows 6102

the shipping inspector or other designated shipper personnel to observe the "DTTS On" 6103 message without having to climb aboard the cab of the vehicle. 6104

6105

b. Loading DTTS Shipment. The driver will send an "L" status message for new 6106 shipments subject to SNS tracking. The text portion of this message will include the 6107

shipment identification (i.e., BL number), trailer number, drom number, origin, and 6108 destination for each SNS shipment loaded. Origin and destination will include either 6109 military facility name and state or commercial company name, city and state. In the 6110 event this information exceeds the space provided for one text message, submit as many 6111 additional status "L" messages as necessary to convey all required information. 6112

6113 c. Departing Protected Environment. When departing point of origin, a secure holding 6114 area, a TSP terminal, or from a location due to a delay status, the driver will provide 6115

DTTS with a "D" status message to include location. Status code “D” places the shipment 6116

155

6117


SECTION B

6118

into a movement status for DTTS. A “D” message code shall be used when previous 6119 shipment status would have been L, T,M, A, U, or O. 6120 6121 d. TSP Terminal. Upon entering an SDDC-approved TSP terminal, the driver will send 6122 a "T" status message. In the text portion of the message, the driver will provide location 6123

of the terminal and a telephone number, including area code, and all bills of lading. 6124 DTTS understands that SNS shipments entering a terminal on a given vehicle may not 6125 depart on that same vehicle. Therefore, prior to departing a terminal with SNS shipments, 6126 drivers will utilize the same procedures as stated in subparagraph b and c above. 6127 6128

e. Military Secure Holding/Installation Area. When entering an in-transit military 6129

secure holding/Installation area, the driver will send an "M" status message. An “M” 6130

message will not be used when entering a military secure holding/Installation area at 6131 origin or destination. In the text portion of the message, the driver will provide activity 6132

name, area code and phone number and all bills of lading so that DTTS staff can call to 6133 obtain further shipment status information. Driver will indicate whether the load remains 6134

with the vehicle or is offloaded. Prior to departing the secure holding area with SNS 6135 shipments, drivers will enter Bill of Lading (BL) number(s) on the vehicle in a “D” 6136 message. If any new shipments requiring SNS have been loaded on the vehicle, driver 6137

will utilize the same procedures as stated in subparagraph b and c above. 6138 6139

f. Change in TSP Equipment. Drivers will report any in-transit shipment transfer to 6140 different TSP equipment using the “C” status message. For these messages, drivers will 6141

provide the identification number(s) of the new tractor and/or trailer as well as each BL 6142 transferred. If the required information exceeds the space provided for one text message, 6143

submit as many additional status "C" messages as necessary. The driver of the tractor 6144 receiving an SNS shipment will follow loading procedures in subparagraph b above, 6145 while the driver of the tractor transferring the SNS shipments will complete “C” 6146

equipment change message. A “C” message shall be sent from both the losing and 6147

gaining tractors to identify the shipment(s) transferred. One of the “C” messages shall 6148 include an explanation of the reason for the transfer and a plain text location. If no SNS 6149 shipments remain on the vehicle, the driver will terminate DTTS service using the disable 6150 procedures set forth in subparagraph j. below. 6151 6152

g. Unusual Delay During Shipment. The driver will send a “U” status message 6153 explaining an unusual delay that occurs during shipment transit. Examples that qualify as 6154

a “U” situation include: 6155 6156

(1) Unusual Delay – Bad or severe weather, unexpected road closure, traffic 6157 accidents that shut down traffic, intransit inspection, or other similar types of 6158 circumstances that create an unexpected delay. The “U” message will explain the 6159

applicable reason or factual circumstances in the text portion of the message and give the 6160 exact location of the vehicle/shipment, i.e., truck stop, shop name, city and state. 6161 6162

2) Mechanical Breakdown – Identify highway number, mile marker, and 6163

156


SECTION B

6164 maintenance problem. The driver will immediately notify TSP dispatcher who in turn 6165

will notify DTTS at the contact number provided in Section A, VIII, Table 1. If the 6166 driver determines the “situation” meets the Emergency definition found in Section J, 6167 Appendix D, the driver will report the emergency by pressing the emergency button. 6168

6169 3) Other - Provide information not covered under other status messages, such as 6170

estimated time of arrival at destination, fuel stop or driver break due to possible signal 6171 loss, alerts or explain emergency to DTTS. 6172 6173 h. Arrived, Awaiting Offload. When arriving at destination and awaiting offload, 6174 driver will send an "A" status message. In text portion of the message, provide activity 6175

name and phone number where the driver can be reached. Drivers must maintain signal 6176

with DTTS unless inside a gated DOD Military Installation. If inside a gated DOD 6177

Military Installation, drivers may turn off SNS until offload is complete and offload 6178 message is received by DTTS. 6179

6180 i. Offload at Destination. When shipment has been offloaded, driver will send an 6181

“O” status message. In text portion of the message, provide activity name and each BL 6182 delivered to that activity. If the initial “O” message this exceeds the space provided for 6183 one text message, the driver should submit as many additional status "O" messages as 6184

necessary to convey the required information. 6185

6186 j. To end SNS Service: 6187

6188

1) After the last shipment has been offloaded, the driver will immediately disable 6189

DTTS per SNSV instruction. This action will generate an "S" status message to DTTS. 6190 6191

2) Driver shall be provided with “on-screen” verification that DTTS service has 6192 been disabled. 6193

6194

k. Automatic “P” messages will alert DTTS of vehicle’s current location. 6195 Positions reported shall be within one quarter mile of the actual vehicle location. 6196 6197

l. At a minimum TSPs will ensure that position is reported every 15 minutes 6198 whenever an SNS shipment departs a protected environment. While in authorized 6199 protected environments, it is the TSP’s option to continue providing 15-minute vehicle 6200

updates. DTTS reserves the right to require a TSP to file more frequent updates when 6201 operational requirements dictate additional notification. 6202 6203 m. Failure of SNS equipment. If SNS equipment is not operating properly prior to 6204

departure from origin, the unit must be repaired before departing with the load. If SNS 6205 equipment or system fails while in-transit, the driver will immediately notify the TSP 6206 dispatcher, who in turn shall immediately contact DTTS at the number provided in Section 6207

A, VIII, Table 1. DTTS Operators will coordinate two-hour status updates with the driver 6208 with a final status report upon delivery at the destination or arrival at an activity offering 6209

157


SECTION B

6210 secure holding, whichever occurs first. These updates may be made by “U” message or by 6211

phone, as determined by DTTS. Updates will include current location and status. If repairs 6212 cannot be made or are not feasible, the defective unit shall be removed from the DTTS 6213 database and the equipment/SNS equipment will not be reinstated until repairs or 6214 replacement are made and the system tested as per paragraph 3 above. 6215 6216

9. “Satellite Motor Surveillance Service (SNS) requested. In the event of SNS system 6217 failure, driver will immediately notify dispatcher who will contact DTTS at 1-800-826-6218 0794. Driver must subsequently provide DTTS a telephonic location/status report every 6219 two (2) hours, with a final telephonic report upon delivery at destination, or secure 6220

holding area, whichever is closer.” 6221 6222

ITEM 119 OVERDIMENSIONAL FREIGHT SERVICE

(520)/OVERWEIGHT PERMIT SHIPMENTS (PER)

6346 1. A shipment shall be considered over dimensional (height, length, width) or 6347

“overweight” based upon legal requirements when the height, width, length, or weight 6348 exceeds the measurements stated below, as determined by any state, or other government 6349 regulatory authority whose jurisdiction the shipment will travel. All DOD and non-DOD 6350 agencies requirements involving over dimensional freight service cannot be used in 6351

conjunction with voluntary tenders and must be submitted through the electronic spot bid/ 6352 application. If unable to satisfy requirements through the use of electronic spot then 6353

requirements will be submitted to HQ SDDC Special Requirements Branch for 6354 negotiation 6355

6356 2. Dimension measurements include: 6357

6358

a. Height: 162 inches (13 feet 6 inches) measured from the ground to the highest 6359 point of the cargo after loading. 6360

6361 b. Length: 636 inches (53 feet). Over length dimensional charges will not be assessed 6362 for interstate/intrastate movements, when the gross length dimensions of the tractor and 6363

loaded semi-trailer combination are within the maximum gross length for such equipment 6364

combination on interstate and federally designated highways or other state highways and 6365 supplemental routes. 6366

6367

c. Width: 102 inches (8 feet 6 inches) 6368

6369 Cargo that exceeds these measurements may require permits. 6370 6371 3. An overweight shipment consists of any non-divisible article that requires an excess 6372 weight permit for each interstate and/or intrastate movement. Maximum highway load 6373

weight may vary from state to state. As a general rule, the maximum cargo weight that 6374 can be hauled legally without permits is 48,000 lbs (45,000 lbs on lowboy equipment). 6375 Federally mandated maximum weights for the National System of Interstate and Defense 6376 Highways and reasonable access thereto (IAW 23 CFR Part 658.17) states the following 6377 maximum weights: 6378 6379 a. 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight (tractor + trailer + load) 6380

6381 b. 20,000 pound single axle weight 6382 6383

c. 34,000 pound tandem axle weight 6384 6385

161


SECTION B

6386 Axle spacing is another consideration that must be taken into account when looking at 6387

Federal weight compliance. To protect bridges, the number and spacing of axles carrying 6388 the vehicle load must be calculated. Thus, a bridge weight formula is also applied to 6389 commercial vehicles in determining their compliance with Federal weight limits. The 6390 Federal bridge formula applies when the gross weight on two or more consecutive axles 6391 exceeds the limitations of the formula, except that two consecutive sets of tandem axles 6392

may carry a gross load of 34,000 pounds each if the overall distance between the first and 6393 last axle is 36 feet or more. 6394 6395 W=500(LN/N-1 + 12N + 36); where W=overall gross weight on any group of 2 or more 6396 consecutive axles to the nearest 500 pounds. L=distance in feet between the extreme of 6397

any group of 2 or more consecutive axles, and N=number of axles in the group under 6398

consideration. 6399

6400

ITEM 121 OVERDIMENSIONAL AND OVERWEIGHT PERMIT CHARGES

6401 Charges. 6402

6403 1. Over dimensional freight service (520) will apply only to truckload shipments. Line 6404

haul transportation charges shall be based on the applicable truckload charge (rate 6405 qualifiers PL and PM), highest truckload minimum weight applicable to the equipment 6406 loaded by the shipper, or actual weight if in excess of the minimum weight, and 6407

accompanying truckload rate. 6408 6409

2. All relevant charges directly related to over dimensional/overweight freight 6410 shipments, including costs of any special permits toll charges shall be included as part of 6411

the negotiated rate or spot bid. TSP must retain valid receipts or documentation and/or 6412 permit charge receipts to support any over dimensional or overweight charges. 6413 6414

ITEM 123 RESTRICTED SPEEDS (RSS)

This part describes the general requirements for rail TSP engaged in the transportation of 6789 DOD freight. Rail TSP shall at all times comply with applicable federal statutes and 6790 regulations, or applicable state laws, when providing rail transportation on behalf of 6791 DOD. 6792

6793 As a rule, any incident involving DOD cargo should be reported to the appropriate contact 6794 listed in Section A, VIII, Emergency Notification Information, Table 1. 6795

6796

ITEM 169 CAR SUPPLY

6797

1. TSPs shall neither require nor forbid the use of DODX cars in a tender. Inclusion of 6798 such a provision shall render the tender null and void. 6799 6800

2. TSP are permitted to store cars on an installation, subject to obtaining prior approval 6801 from a designated and authorized site representative. 6802

6803

3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, nothing in this item will require a TSP to 6804 accept a loaded DODX car for transport when the rail car design does not conform to the 6805 Interchange Rules. 6806

6807 4. In the event that a TSP accepts a loaded DODX car for transport, nothing in this item 6808

or in the tender shall permit a railroad to charge different rates or pay a different mileage 6809 allowance on a loaded DODX car accepted for transport even though its design does not 6810

conform to the Interchange Rules. 6811 6812

ITEM 171 DESCRIPTION OF ARTICLES AND INSPECTION

6813

Freight charges shall be assessed according to proper description of the freight in 6814

question. TSP has the right to inspect any shipment to determine the applicable rate 6815 based on its tenders. When the articles of the shipment are considered by the TSP to be 6816 incorrectly described on BL, the TSP shall immediately notify the shipper of the 6817 discrepancy on the applicable BL, and notate that discrepancy on the BL. 6818

6819

ITEM 173 DRIVER INSTRUCTIONS

6820

See Section B, Item 9 in this publication. This section applies to any motor transportation 6821 portion or leg of a shipment considered incidental to a rail TOFC/COFC shipment. TSP 6822 will ensure at all times any leg of a shipment involving carriage of goods by a motor TSP 6823 6824 6825 6826

175


SECTION C

6827

shall be moved under the proper and lawful operating authority as required by applicable 6828 sections set forth in 49 U.S.C. 6829

6830

ITEM 175 PROPORTIONAL AND COMBINATION RATES

6831

1. Proportional rates are limited to traffic destined to, or originating at, specific points or 6832

territories. Proportional rates shall apply when the entire movement is performed by a 6833

TSP, or by a TSP performing motor transportation incidental to the rail shipment for 6834

TOFC/COFC shipments. See Definitions, Appendix D for more information on 6835

proportional rates. 6836

2. Combination rates are determined by combining rates set forth in different applicable 6837 tenders in order to construct a through rate from one point to another. These through rate 6838 combinations may also include security services. See Definitions, Appendix D for more 6839 information on combination rates. 6840

6841 3. A TSP will indicate in Section B of each tender whether rates and charges may be 6842 used as proportional rates only or whether such rates may or may not be combined with 6843

another rate. 6844

6845

ITEM 177 SUBSTITUTION OF FREIGHT CARS

6846

1. When a car order is placed by transportation officer and the rail TSP is unable to 6847

furnish a car of the length and/or capacity ordered, the rail TSP, for its own convenience, 6848 may substitute a car of greater length and/or capacity; or may substitute two or more cars 6849 which equal or exceed the length and/or capacity of the car ordered. The cars replacing 6850

those ordered must contain the same equipment, i.e., with chain tie-down devices, as the 6851 cars originally ordered. For example, if a transportation officer orders two (2) 89-foot 6852

flatcars with chain tie-down devices, a rail TSP, for its own convenience, may substitute 6853 three (3) 60-foot flatcars with chain tie-down devices; or, as another example, a rail TSP 6854 may substitute two (2) 89-foot flatcars in lieu of one (1) bi-level car ordered. The freight 6855 charges shall be assessed on the basis of the car(s) ordered. 6856

6857 2. In order to differentiate between cars which are furnished for substitution and cars 6858 which are furnished to order, the transportation officer will annotate on the bill of lading 6859

both the size of the car(s) ordered and the size of the car(s) furnished. When shipments 6860 are to be made in closed cars exceeding 4,150 cubic feet capacity, both the length and 6861 cubic capacity of the car(s) ordered and the car(s) furnished shall be shown on the bill of 6862 lading. The substituted cars shall be designated on the bill of lading by car numbers. 6863

6864 6865 6866

6867 6868

176

Air TSPs shall at all times comply with applicable federal 9329 statutes, regulations, and state laws when providing air transportation on behalf of the DOD. 9330 Commercial air service will not normally be used for transportation of shipments to be 9331 delivered within 500 surface miles from the shipping point except when commercial air is 9332

the low cost mode or the only mode that can meet shipment requirements. Participation in 9333

the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) program is mandatory. As a rule, any incident involving 9334

DOD cargo should be reported to the appropriate contact listed in Section A, VIII, Table 1 – 9335 Contact Information. 9336

9337

ITEM 401 MODE SUBSTITUTION

9338 Shipments tendered for air service will normally move all, or in part, via air transportation. 9339

Transportation Service Providers (TSP) shall be permitted to substitute other modes of 9340 service when time-definite delivery requirements can be met by the substituted mode. In no 9341 event shall a TSP utilize mode substitution to avoid the terms/conditions set forth in the Bill 9342 of Lading (BL) or to circumvent the legal requirement that all TSPs have proper operating 9343 authority for the shipment and/or the leg of the shipment at issue. The TSP shall remain 9344

liable for any loss or damage to the shipment. When a tendered air shipment moves entirely 9345 by a mode other than air, the TSP’s liability to the Government for loss/damage to cargo, 9346

etc. shall be determined by the liability standard of the mode, air or other than air, that is 9347 more favorable to the Government. 9348

9349

ITEM 403 TIME-DEFINITE DELIVERY

9350 Shipments tendered to a Transportation Service Provider (TSP) for air service and subject 9351 to time-definite delivery (a requirement that a shipment be delivered no later than a 9352 specified date/time and destination) may move in any mode of conveyance that the TSP 9353

reasonably expects will meet the time-definite delivery requirement. 9354 9355

ITEM 405 AIR WITH INCIDENTAL MOTOR SERVICE

9356 Transportation Service Providers (TSP) that provide incidental motor services (military 9357 installation to/from airfield/aircraft) for tendered air shipments shall comply with motor-9358 TSP rules and guidance listed in Section B of this publication. Rates submitted for air 9359 movement will include the cost for incidental motor service. 9360

sovereign or contractual capacity, acts or omissions of the consignor, consignee appointment 9676 delivery mandates, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight 9677 embargoes, or unusually severe weather. In each instance the failure to perform must be 9678 beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Transportation Service Provider 9679

(TSP). In the case of a delivery commitment guarantee that is not met due to an excusable 9680 delay, the TSP will have incurred costs making its best efforts to fulfill the delivery 9681 commitment guarantee, and, therefore, the TSP is entitled to bill and be compensated at the 9682

rate applicable to the requested service, regardless of whether the TSP ultimately performed 9683 to that level of service because the delay was beyond the control of the TSP. 9684

9863 1. TSPs must comply with the Service Contract Act (41 USC 6703). 9864 9865 a. DOD qualified motor carriers are responsible for following the requirements of the 9866 SCA. The wage determination rates applicable to motor carriers moving freight for the 9867

DOD are based on shipment origin, within one of the nine origin regions, as outlined in 9868 the applicable Wage Determination. 9869 9870 b. All transportation contracts, to include individual Bills Of Lading (BOL's), must 9871 comply with the SCA. DOD regulations, (MFTURP-1 and DTR), do not relieve the 9872

responsibility for motor carriers to follow the provisions outlined by the SCA 9873

requirements mentioned above. 9874

9875 c. The Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations are the official sources for 9876

regulatory information published by the DOL. 9877 9878

or gave a gratuity (including an entertainment or gift) to an officer, official, or employee 9892 of the Government with the intent to obtain favorable treatment. There may be additional 9893 actions against the TSP under the DTR, MFTURP-1, or applicable law. 9894 9895 3. Prohibition against contingent fees. By moving government cargo under this 9896

MFTURP, the TSP agrees that it has not employed or retained any person or agency to 9897 solicit or obtain the contract under an understanding or agreement for a commission, 9898

percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee, except a bona fide employee or established 9899 commercial or selling agency maintained by him to obtain business. 9900 9901 4. Anti-Kickback Act Compliance.

SECTION G

9908

9909 kickbacks by employees, agents, or subcontractors; education programs for new 9910 employees and subcontractors, explaining policies about kickbacks, related company 9911 procedures and the consequences of detection; procurement procedures to minimize the 9912 opportunity for kickbacks; audit procedures designed to detect kickbacks; periodic 9913

surveys of subcontractors to elicit information about kickbacks; procedures to report 9914 kickbacks to law enforcement officials; annual declarations by employees of gifts or 9915 gratuities received from subcontractors; annual employee declarations that they have 9916 violated no company ethics rules; personnel practices that document unethical or illegal 9917 behavior and make such information available to prospective employers. 9918

9919

5. Prohibition of contractors limiting subcontractor sales directly to the United 9920

States. On any contract (including Tenders and BOLs) in excess of the simplified 9921 acquisition threshold (41 USC 134), the TSP shall not enter into any agreement with a 9922

subcontractor under the contract that has the effect of unreasonably restricting sales by 9923 the subcontractor directly to the United States of any item or process made or furnished 9924

by the subcontractor under the contract or otherwise act to restrict unreasonably the 9925 ability of a subcontractor to make sales to the United States. 9926 9927

6. Limitation on use of appropriated funds to influence certain Federal contracting 9928 and financial transactions. 31 USC 1352 prohibits a recipient of a Federal contract, 9929

employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with any 9932 covered Federal actions. The term “appropriated funds” does not include profit or fee 9933

from a covered Federal action. To the extent a person can demonstrate that the person has 9934 sufficient monies, other than Federal appropriated funds, the Government shall assume 9935 that these other monies were spent for any influencing activities that would be 9936

unallowable if paid for with Federal appropriated funds. 31 USC 1352 also requires 9937

offerors to furnish a declaration consisting of both a certification and a disclosure, with 9938 periodic updates of the disclosure after contract award. 9939 9940 7. Requirement to Inform Employees of Whistleblower Rights: 9941 9942

b. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph 9954 (b), in all subcontracts. 9955 9956 8. Equal Employment Opportunity. TSP agrees to adhere to Executive Order 11246 9957 (Equal Employment Opportunity), as amended. TSPs shall comply with these specific 9958

provisions. In general, the Executive Order prohibits federal contractors and federally 9959 assisted construction contractors and subcontractors, who do over $10,000 in 9960 Government business in one year from discriminating in employment decisions on the 9961 9962 basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin. 9963

The Executive Order also requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to 9964

ensure that equal opportunity is provided in all aspects of their employment. 9965

Additionally, Executive Order 11246 prohibits federal contractors and subcontractors 9966 from, under certain circumstances, taking adverse employment actions against applicants 9967

and employees for asking about, discussing, or sharing information about their pay or the 9968 pay of their co-workers. 9969

9970 9. TSPs must comply with the Service Contract Act (41 USC 6703). On the date a 9971 service employee begins work on a contract to which this Act applies, the contractor or 9972

subcontractor will deliver to the employee a notice of the compensation required under 9973 paragraphs (1) and (2) of the Act, on a form prepared by the Federal agency (see 9974

Appendix ___) or will post a notice of the required compensation in a prominent place at 9975 the worksite.” 9976

9977 a. The Department of Labor (DOL) reaffirmed the requirement for SDDC motor 9978

carriers to follow the provisions of the SCA. The DOL Wage and Hour Division (WHD) 9979 has sole SCA enforcement responsibility of the wage and benefit requirements of the 9980 SCA. 9981

9982

b. SDDC motor carriers are responsible for following the requirements of the SCA. 9983 The SCA requires contractors and subcontractors performing service in excess of $2,500 9984 to pay employees no less than the wage rates and benefits found prevailing in the locality. 9985 The wage determination rates applicable to motor carriers moving freight for the DOD 9986 are based on shipment origin, within one of the nine origin regions, as outlined in the 9987

applicable Wage Determination. 9988 9989

c. All transportation contracts, to include individual Bills Of Lading (BOL's), in 9990 excess of $2,500 must comply with the SCA. Department of Defense regulations, 9991 (MFTURP-1 and DTR), do not relieve the responsibility for motor carriers to follow the 9992 provisions outlined by the DOL SCA requirements mentioned above. The Federal 9993 Register and the Code of Federal Regulations are the official sources for regulatory 9994

information published by the DOL. The DOL provided a Compliance Guide to facilitate 9995 access to information on the SCA. It, along with other supporting documentation, can be 9996 found on the SDDC public website: 9997
