following provisions and charges.
   
a. For definition of the terms "diversion" and "reconsignment" see
   Rule 28.  All requests for diversion or reconsignment must be made,
   or confirmed, in writing, and all additional charges for requested

   prepaid shipments and must be made by or agreed to by the Consignee

   effect requested diversion or reconsignment before the shipment
   reaches the original B/L destination.

   a shipment when the changes in instructions, shipping documents
   and/or B/L are made PRIOR to the commencement of transportation
   service, PROVIDED no charges for storage, drayage, detention,
   demurrage or similar charges are incurred.
    
d. Except as otherwise provided on individual Web Rate Pages (TLIs,)
   all additional charges incurred by the Carrier when accomplishing a

   for collection from the party requesting such service, which charges
   shall be in addition to the freight and charges for transportation
   service (see paragraph e.).
   
e. Freight Charges on shipments diverted or reconsigned after
   transportation has commenced shall be calculated on the rate
   applicable from origin to original destination or diverted

   assess freight and charges applicable to original destination plus
   all additional charges incurred to deliver shipment to diverted
   destination.
