Control No. 23-03876
  
Salvage Cargo, as used in this Rule, is all cargo that remains in Carrier’s
nominated warehouse in excess of 365 days after receipt.  Once identified
and processed, Salvage Cargo will be turned over to Carrier’s Purchasing
Department for sale to an outside vendor, subject to the following
restrictions:
  
Carrier’s nominated Warehouse personnel will be instructed to conduct
regular inventory scans to identify:
  
 – Aged cargo and to establish timelines: this information will be
   communicated to Carrier’s assigned teams, including the Customer Service
   and/or Sales teams who will make diligent efforts to communicate to
   the customer(s) who have tendered the cargo.
  
 – Any cargo with a warehouse residence age of 366 days or more, will be
   assigned as Salvage Cargo.  The exception is cargo that the Traffic
   Department has identified are subject in a Customer’s comments "to
   hold."
  
 – All aged Salvage Cargo will be scanned, loaded into a container,
   container door sealed upon completion of loading, and a manifest/inland
   order created.
  
 – Each Salvage Cargo created manifest will be forwarded to the Purchasing
   Department via email to provide additional visibility of the Salvage
   cargo that is moving to them.
  
Additionally, if and when, cargo cannot be shipped to its booked
destination as a result of the Shipper’s or Consignee’s refusal, inability,
omission, or lack of confirmation to ship, or when Carrier cannot locate or
contact Shipper or Consignee, the Carrier will still make a diligent,
reasonable effort to notify the cargo’s owner through available means,
including but not limited to by email or other reasonable means, along with
the Shipper, Consignee, their staff or agent. However if Carrier is not
given any disposition or shipping instructions within three hundred and
sixty five days (365 days), starting the date of cargo receipt by Carrier
at its nominated warehouse, Carrier may then dispose of the cargo by any
means necessary to alleviate Carrier’s warehouse space pressures due to the
presence of unclaimed cargo.
