• Correct NMFC Code & Class:  It is your responsiblity to utilize the correct NMFC code and sub class and freight class for your shipment. NMFC estimates given by Unishippers or Freight Carriers over the phone or via email are Non-Binding. Click here for more information
        
Correct NMFC classification can only be determined by visual inspection of freight at the carrier terminal and are based on ruling by the NMFTA. Be aware that the MNFTA updates NMFC data several times a year. Updates are available here:
www.nmfta.org/Page/PublicDocketFiles.aspx Updates are not sent to shipper by Carriers or Unishippers. Shippers are responsible for knowing and recording accurate shipping descriptions on their shipping document.
 
 - Edgewood Global Logistics, LLC d/b/a Unishippers 1701 or its afficialites do not audit shipments to confirm if the correct NMFC code is utilized.
 
• Accuracy of the BOL: Please review it to make sure it is correct and notify us immediately if it is not. Changes in the following will result in rate changes: weight, class, size of shipment/density/distance, value, special services, and description of freight. These changes will be detailed on your invoice.
 
• Density Based Items: You must use the  NFMC and its associated sub class based on the density. Remember, if an item is non-stackable, the density will decrease.
 
• Incorrect or no NMFC Code Utilized:  Carriers have the right to inspect and reclass based on what is published in either their tariff or the prevailing law/NMFC guidance.
 
• Corrections after BOL is created and/or picked up: Carriers can charge for changes made or deny any requested changes/reweighs/etc once the freight has been picked up. You must receive a written confirmation from Unishippers CHDN to show that this has been completed
 
• Corrections after delivery: Carriers can deny any requested changes/reweighs/etc once the freight has been delivered. 
 
• Carrier Reclassification & Reweigh: Carriers have the right to inspect freight at any time. Carriers do not notify us, our partners, affiliates, or clients of reweight/reclass inspections. It is your responsiblity to prove to the carrier that your item was incorrectly reclassified/reweighed.
          TIP: Always add more information to your BOL that can match your invoice/P.O. etc. 
          i.e. Reference model numbers and more on the description,
                - add in how many boxes or pieces are shipped
                - Utilize the reference number fields, or special instructions. 
          Example: 20 boxes of brass widgets, model #XYC, invoice #1234, PO# ABC
 
If the carrier inspects the freight and it does not match the BOL, you must provide documentation within 5 days that can support a dispute. Weight tickets from certified scales, packing slips, and/or manufacturer’s spec sheets. Unishippers is not responsible for the outcome of the carrier’s decision.
 
• Delivery Receipts: If you sign it, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of the delivery receipt. This includes reclass, reweighs, damages, etc. INSPECT AND VERIFY THE DELIVERY RECEIPT INFORMATION. 
 
If you or your consignee fail to notate damages or shortages on the delivery receipt, the shipment is considered delivered without issue.
 

LTL Carrier Liability

Why do I need shipment insurance?
 
Carrier limits of liability is NOT insurance and it may not protect the full value of your shipment. Carrier liability has limits based on the condition of the items being shipped and the class of the freight – regardless of the actual value of the shipment. If your shipments are high in value, or consist of items such as heavy machinery or used goods, consider purchasing shipment insurance to protect your shipment.
 
 
Liability can be found in each carriers tariff.
 
• Anything other than new from the factory is considered used. Refurbished, rebuilt, and/or used items may have no carrier liabilty at all or as little as $0.10 per pound.
• Private insurance may be purchased through Unishippers. A deductible may apply.
