Consolidated Pool Truck Program

The objective of our pool and consolidated freight program is to offer our customers a published shipping schedule, with specific rates, to specific areas. This program is restricted to frozen product only.

 

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".
