Cutting Costs

A number of ways to cut transportation costs without touching rates are discussed, including the following: 1. Properly define the product so it can be considered a "recyclable" item. 2. Avoid running the risk of potential low recovery in case of a claim for loss and damage by specifying the proper released valuations. 3. Qualify all applicable shipments to use the in-transit privilege by establishing in-transit arrangements and maintaining appropriate documentation.

Avoid audit charges for railroad provided maintenance for privately-owned rail cars. Railroad cars must be maintained to American Association of Railroads levels and must meet all safety mandates. If the fleet is relatively small, this maintenance is arranged with the railroads to accomplish this at the point of occurrence. The charges are specified in a guide published by the AAR and includes charges for parts and labor. These actual char should be audited against the authorized charges for errors in submittal of invoices. If the repairs are extensive, an evaluation is made as to which portion is attributable to railroad error, and which is the owner's responsibility. It is also wise to seek outside bids for repairs of this nature, which can result in lower overall costs and a quicker return to service of the damaged car.

Make sure all tariff required notations are included on the bill of lading. Surprisingly, it is not unusual for some critically important data to be omitted from bills of lading. The most common omissions are addresses or phone numbers of the notify party and instructions about an appointment required prior to delivery. Each omission requires different corrective action, but they all have a single constant attributeave a cost money.
