Much Ado about Nothing Much Ado about Nothing is a comedic play by William Shakespeare. Much Ado about Nothing is generally considered one of Shakespeare's best comedies, because it combines elements of: 1. Mistaken Identities, 2. Robust Hilarity 3. Serious Meditations on Honor, 4. Shame, 5. Court Politics. This fits the recent STB decision on the Bill of Lading changes that the NMFTA made effective August 13, 2016. One of the flaws the STB exhibited, Hubris (Excessive Pride or Self-Confidence; Arrogance.) with this decision. On July 14, 2016, the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) issued a supplement to the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) to become effective on August 13, 2016. The supplement was to publish a revised Uniform Straight Bill of Lading which is particularly favorable for the motor carriers and not their customers. Essentially all of the changes found in the new bill of lading serve to protect the carrier. This creates a challenging burden to successfully recover a claim for loss and damage whenever a carrier asserts one of what are known as the bill of lading defenses. The changes to the Bill of Lading were made without notice to the public, nor where shippers of the transportation community given any opportunity to comment or protest the changes. We have seen this before in the 1948 Congress authorized truckers to fix rates in concert with one another when it enacted, over President Truman's veto, the Reed-Bulwinkle Act (5a), which exempted carriers from the antitrust laws.

What would work? ”SPACE OCCUPIED”
The shipper and carrier first agree on the cube group or density class
• In this example, the carrier’s pricing follows the NMFC classifications. • The shipper and carrier have agreed that class 100 maps to C3 Cube Group, on the weight multiplier, on the transit
time multiplier, on the insurance rate, on the mileage multiplier and on the stackable multiplier. • The shipper has a C3 Cube Group shipment weighing 500 pounds being delivered from Atlanta to Memphis. The
shipper would like $500 of insurance. This shipment is stackable and on a 40 x 48 x 6 pallet. • Shipment Dimensions = C3 • Shipment Weight = W5 • Insurance = I2 ($.35 x 5) • Transit Time = T5 • Distance (388 miles) = M1 • Stackable = S0 • Payment Terms
Price: (C3 x W5 x T5 x M1 x S0 x PT) + ($.35 x 5)
Dynarates™ LTL Pricing for Space Occupied™
Simply stated: You pay for only what you use based upon Space Occupied. In this case, both Shippers and Carriers benefit from the new LTL Pricing method.
Are you interested in creating and forming a new NON-NMFC LTL PRICING Association?
Space Occupied™ At Work The shipper and carrier first agree on the cube group or density class
Example In this example, the carrier’s pricing follows the NMFC classifications.
The shipper and carrier have agreed that class 70 maps to C2 Cube Group, on the weight multiplier, on the transit time multiplier, on the insurance rate, on the mileage multiplier and on the stackability multiplier.
The shipper has a C2 Cube Group shipment weighing 500 pounds being delivered from Atlanta to Memphis. The shipper would like to deliver the next day by 08:00 am with $500 of insurance. This shipment is stackable.
Shipment Dimensions = C2
Shipment Weight = W5 x 3
Insurance = I3 ($.45 x 7.5)
Transit Time = T3
Distance (388 miles) = M2
Stackability = S0
Payment Terms
Price: (C3 x (W5 x 3) x T3 x M2 x S0 x PT) + ($.45 x 7.5)
Dynarates™ LTL Pricing for Space Occupied
Simply stated: You pay for only what you use based upon space occupied. In this case, both shippers and carriers benefit from the new structure.
