Subject to the availability of equipment and carrier’s approval, carriers may spot vehicleswithout power units (empty or loaded trailers) for loading or unloading on the premises ofthe consignor or consignee, or on other premises designated by them.2. When such trailers are delayed or detained for reasons attributed to the consignor orconsignee, the shipment (or the combined weight of multiple shipments) being loaded orunloaded will be allowed 24 hours of Free Time, as follows:a. Free Time will commence once the TSP has notified the consignor or consignee that thetrailer is positioned for loading or unloading. A trailer is considered positioned forloading or unloading when placed in a location with doors open so it can be immediatelyaccessed for loading or unloading within the consignor's/consignee's normal operatinghours or acceptance hours as annotated on the BL. If the shipping/receiving facilityrequires pickup and/or delivery appointments, wait time spent due to early or late arrivalswill not count towards free time. If a TSP is prepared to position its trailer for loading orunloading, but due solely to government fault is prevented from doing so, free time willcommence at that time. However, free time will never commence unless, and until, theTSP has notified the consignor or consignee that its trailer is at the shipping/receivingfacility but is unable to position its trailer for loading or unloading due to a governmentcauseddelay. All requests for additional detention payments based on governmentcauseddelays must be submitted to SDDC, G9, for approval and must include sufficientinformation to establish entitlement to these additional fees. TSPs and Shippers arerequired to keep separate record-keeping functions for detention purposes. In the event ofa dispute between the TSP's and Shipper's records, the Shipper's records will prevail.Minimum data fields will include: date/time TSP arrived; date/time TSP available forload/discharge; date/time load/discharge complete; date/time TSP departed.Issue Date: 29 March 2011 Effective Date: 01 April 2011Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command1 Soldier WayScott Air Force Base, IL 62225-91-
