Freight Charges – What You Need to Know

Some of the most common disputes among shippers, brokers and carriers involve freight charges, but few people understand the laws, regulations and basic principles that govern the responsibility and liability for payment of transportation services. Panelists will discuss the bill of lading terms (prepaid, collect, bill to third party), issues when freight forwarders, brokers or 3PL’s are involved – the “double payment” problem, time limits for disputed claims, freight pre-audit, post-audit and payment services, and legal liability of shippers, consignees and intermediaries.

Intermodal Transportation – What You Need to Know

Have you ever watched a train go by that is over a mile long with and carries over 100 trailers or containers? A major portion of the nation’s freight moves just this way every day. Intermodal movements not only involve multiple parties, but are subject to laws, rules, practices and liabilities that are different from over-the-road trucking. Panelists will give an overview of the intermodal industry, the role of motor carriers, railroads, drayage agents, intermodal marketing companies and other intermediaries, and subjects like liability for cargo loss and damage.

BILLS OF LADING WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Bills of Lading have been used for the transportation of goods for centuries. In the absence of some other formal transportation agreement, the Bill of Lading, is the “Contract of Carriage” and governs the legal relationship between the shipper and the carrier. Yet few people that use them rarely even look at them or really understand how important they are.
 
Every mode of transport has its own different versions of bills of lading – truck, ocean, air and intermodal. Three leading attorneys will give you a “tour” of typical bills of lading for each mode, What they look like and how they should be used. They will explain how the “contract of carriage”, together with the applicable laws, treaties and tariffs, govern carrier liability and some of the ”traps and pitfalls” for the unwary user.
