Effective April 29, 2018, Tropical Shipping will increase Extra Stop charges to $165.00 for each Extra Stop added to the inland route.
Any additional stop within an inland route shall be considered an Extra Stop. An Extra Stop cannot exceed 10 miles outside of the established route between the farthest inland distance and Tropical Shipping’s terminal. When the inland movement has Extra Stops, the free time to load cargo shall be calculated by totaling the time spent at each stop. Excess free time charges will apply if the total time used exceeds the free time allotted.
Extra Stops do not apply to shipments that are routed on a railway unless the Extra Stop occurs between rail ramps when motor truck service is performed.
Extra Stop charges shall not be considered if the movement of cargo is north of Palm Coast, FL and the Extra Stop is south of Palatka, FL. Dispatch Drayage charges will apply to the additional stop plus inland charges applicable north of Palm Coast, FL. Both charges are subject to the applicable Inland Fuel Surcharge.
In the Dispatch Territory if the origin is north of the Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee &/or St Lucie County and the extra stop passes by the Port of Palm Beach, double drayage and inland fuel surcharge will apply. If the extra stop occurs within Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee &/or St Lucie counties, extra stop charges will apply, not double drayage.
