a Revised Rate Confirmation - VERY IMPORTANT

Anything that changes from the original agreement must be discussed, and we have to come back and ask for a revised rate confirmation. So, what is the revised rate confirmation?

A revised rate confirmation is the same as the original rate confirmation, but with changes. Usually the amount changes, right? They are either adding money to us or taking money away. Look at the items you can request on the revised rate confirmation, including lumper charges as discussed before, detention for loading or unloading, etc.

Detention example:

Detention is when our driver has an appointment at nine o’clock, arrives at nine o’clock, and they do not unload him until three p.m.
We will be asking for detention for unloading after two to three hours from the appointment, so please send us a revised rate confirmation with detention at the receiver for three hours. Okay, and they will send it to you.

Other items you may include on the revised rate confirmation:

Layover
Late fee
Gate fee
Extra peaks
Truck order not used (TONU)

What does “truck order not used” mean? It means they cancel the load on you—maybe the product wasn’t ready, maybe your driver arrived and waited for one time, and they moved it to the next day. You should request “truck order not used,” and I will recover my driver, truck, and any required costs such as assistant, pallet exchange tools, and extra picks. All of these things can be included on a revised rate confirmation.
