The map provides a general configuration
of each area. For freight rates and schedules to locations outside
these zones, please check with our traffic department. Destinations
outside the zones may have the flexibility of shipping with various
zones.
The Freight Weight Chart identifies,
by zone, the specific freight rates that will be assessed for
the respective weight categories.
Note: - a) Minimum weight 5000 pounds per order.
- b) All rates are based on a per gross hundred
weight basis. - c) All rates include stop charges. - d) All rates based on 2000 pounds per pallet.
The Order/Shipping Schedule Chart
reflects the scheduled ship days to each zone and the frequency
of the pool shipments. It also indicates the last day the order
may be placed in order to make the scheduled consolidated shipment
the following week. All orders must be received by CDC by the
close of business on the day indicated. Orders received after
that time and day will be scheduled for the next scheduled shipping
period.
All receiving locations must be
willing to receive their product on the designated day. All orders
must be unloaded in a timely manner to prevent unnecessary delays
which would create late deliveries for other accounts on the
same truck. If CDC is invoiced for detention charges due to being
held up at a particular stop, CDC will re-bill the customer who
sent the order to CDC for these charges.
In the event of a government authorized
fuel surcharge, the freight rate chart will be reviewed. The
percentage increase and the projected time period the surcharge
is to remain in effect will dictate the direction CDC will take.
If a rate increase is necessary, notification will be made to
all of our accounts with all pertinent information.
Timely payment of freight bills
is a very important issue in any freight program. Commercial
Distribution Center is required by federal law to pay all ICC
regulated freight invoices within seven (7) days upon receipt.
We request that all of our freight invoices be paid as promptly
as possible but payment must be received no later than 30
days from invoice date. Adherence to this policy would be
greatly appreciated. Interest charges will be assessed after
15 days from invoice date.
In the event product arrives damaged
or there is a shortage or overage on an order, please notify
the CDC traffic department. You will be instructed as to the
correct procedure to follow. If a claim is involved, send all
supporting documents to our traffic department. Your claim will
be reviewed and processed immediately. DO NOT deduct your claim
amount from the freight invoices.
CDC does not guarentee the "Order/Shipping
Schedule Chart". The Ship Day, Delivery day, and frequency
is based on normal carrier availability. CDC is not responsible
and will not be held liable fo any additional charges such as
freight, LTL charges, purchase of product, etc., if an order
does not ship or is not received by the consignee as specified
on the "Order/Shipping Schedule Chart".
