Common use of TRANSIT TIME CALCULATION AND EXPECTATIONS Clause in Contracts

TRANSIT TIME CALCULATION AND EXPECTATIONS. When using a rate quotation, we quote the fastest possible transit in the lane. We assume the shipment will be loaded at the consignor’s location early enough in the day to allow for the driver to ingate the container at origin rail ramp prior to same day train cutoff. In addition we use historical data to effectively understand the actual ramp to ramp train service (railroad schedules used as reference only). Our quoted transit time in the lane assumes delivery to the consignee one business day after the train is expected to arrive.
