Highlights

A carrier requested review of the disallowance of its claim for an amount set off because of a shipment loss, arguing that its liability was limited to a released value. The carrier's rate tender, which specified a single factor rate and a minimum weight per truckload, was complete and unambiguous, and the limitation of liability provision for specific items in the National Motor Freight Classification cannot be incorporated by reference into the tender.
