Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Freight Classification and Traffic Territories of the United States Every dollar of wasted freight money either by railroads or by shippers, is a dollar of wasted profit. There are two factors which control freight charges: (1) The legal published rate in the tariff, in effect at the time the shipment moves; (2) The reasonableness of the rate, when all transportation, traffic, industrial, commercial and physical conditions are taken into consideration. In order to know the application, reasonableness, and legality of any rate between two points on any given shipment, yon must know what tariff has jurisdiction. A knowledge of the use of tariffs presupposes an understanding of traffic territories, basing points, common points, rate zones, how the rates are based within, to, between, and from the various rate points or territories, which are instrumental in rate construction. The aim of this monograph is not to produce a large mass of printer´s ink and paper, but to give an intelligent understanding of the traffic territories and points used in the construction of rates, enabling the practical traffic man to more fully understand the jurisdiction of tariffs. The information, therefore, has been presented in the smallest possible space, realizing that the busy man has no time to wade through hundreds of pages of discussion, which could be summarized in a few paragraphs. You can get very little out of this monograph by casually reading it. You must make a careful study of the technical points presented in connection with the Freight Classification & Traffic Territory Map and be able to answer all of the study questions which you will find in the back of the monograph. If you will do this conscientiously, the information presented here should help you to easily understand and interpret the tariffs. The wrong tariff is often used in connection with a shipment. The following incident shows how a large amount of money was lost for want of a practical knowledge of the jurisdiction and application of tariffs. The president of the Brown Manufacturing Company was seated behind his mahogany roll-top desk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
