Highlights

A firm requested review of General Services Administration (GSA) audit actions regarding shipments it transported for the Navy, contending that it: (1) was entitled to additional charges because GSA did not base its calculations on the shipments' gross weights; and (2) properly applied exclusive-use charges, since its vehicles were loaded to capacity. GAO held that: (1) GSA properly determined the applicable rates, since the carrier's tendered truckload minimum weights could not also be construed as truckload maximums; (2) merely loading a vehicle to full capacity was not a basis for exclusive-use charges, since the shipper did not request such service; and (3) the carrier failed to provide evidence that GSA did not base its determination on the shipments' gross weights. Accordingly, the claim was denied.
