Once tendered to the Carrier, a shipment may be diverted or reconsigned
while in the Carrier's possession prior to commencement of
transportation, while in transit, or at billed destination, SBJ to the
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
   diversion or reconsignment must be guaranteed by the party
   requesting the diversion or reconsignment service.  Diversion or
   reconsignment orders must be made by or agreed to by the Shipper
   in the case of prepaid shipments and must be made by or agreed to
   by the Consignee in the case of collect shipments.
   
b. The Carrier CANNOT obligate itself to divert or reconsign any
   shipment short of B/L destination once transportation service has
   commenced.  However the Carrier will make every reasonable effort
   to effect requested diversion or reconsignment before the shipment
   reaches the original B/L destination.
   
c. No additional charges will be assessed for diverting or reconsigning
   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 in an individual NRA or on a Web Rate
   Page in a Tariff governed by this Tariff, all additional charges
   incurred by the Carrier when accomplishing a requested diversion or
   reconsignment service request is made AFTER the commencement of
   transportation shall be advanced by the Carrier 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.) PLUS the diversion/reconsignment handling
   charge named in paragraph f.
   
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
   destination, whichever is higher.  In cases where no rate has been
   published to apply to diverted destination, Carrier shall assess
   freight and charges applicable to original destination plus any
   additional charges incurred to deliver shipment to diverted
   destination.
   
f. In all cases where Carrier incurs additional expenses and charges
   when accomplishing a diversion or reconsignment request, Carrier
   shall assess the diversion/reconsignment handling charge named below,
   which charge shall be in addition to all other applicable charges
   
     USD50.00, which charge shall be in addition to all additional
                charges incurred to accomplish reconsignment or
                diversion.
