C. ARI Logistics charges
| Item | Amount | How it is computed |
|---|---|---|
| IFTA fuel tax (ARI's IFTA account) | Calculated in real time on the miles you run, up to $0.04 per mile | Charged on each load settlement on every mile the truck ran under this Agreement since the prior settlement (loaded, empty and deadhead, from the ELD odometer), at the fuel tax those miles actually carry by state. Never more than $0.04 per mile. No reporting fee. The cap is the one stated in the Schedule version OWNER signed. |
| Fuel advance at pickup (up to 40% of OWNER's share) | No fee | Up to 40% of OWNER's 82% share of the load's rate, advanced on the fuel card at pickup; the amount advanced is deducted from that load's settlement. |
| Trip cancellation by OWNER after acceptance | Customer's charge at actual; $150 if the customer charges nothing | Applies when OWNER cancels or fails to perform an accepted dispatch. |
| Missed pickup or delivery appointment caused by OWNER | Customer's charge at actual; $100 if the customer charges nothing | Applies when the missed appointment is caused by OWNER or the driver. |
| Late delivery | Customer's charge at actual only | No ARI charge is added to a customer's late charge. |
| Uncertified logs or missing DVIR not corrected within 24 hours of a Safety reminder | $25 per day | Runs from the day after the reminder until corrected. |
| ELD tampering or unassigned driving not resolved within 48 hours | $100 per event | Each event the driver does not resolve within 48 hours of notice. |
| Roadside inspection violation caused by OWNER or the driver | $150 per violation | Each violation listed on the roadside inspection report, whether a driver violation or a vehicle violation on OWNER's EQUIPMENT; violations on an ARI-provided trailer are ARI's. Refunded on the next settlement if the violation is removed through FMCSA DataQs (Paragraph 7(a)). |
| Roadside out-of-service order caused by OWNER or the driver | $975 per order plus actual costs | Once per inspection that results in an out-of-service order, in addition to the per-violation charge above. The parties agree $975 reflects ARI's estimated CSA, insurance and administrative cost of a driver-caused out-of-service order; actual costs (towing, repair, re-inspection) are added at cost. |
| Safety event recorded by the camera or ELD (traffic-law or FMCSR violation) | $150 per event | Speeding over the posted limit, failure to stop at a stop sign or red light, seat belt not worn, handheld phone use, or following too closely, as recorded by the camera or ELD. ARI sends the recording with the notice; OWNER may dispute within 7 days and ARI reviews the recording before any deduction; ARI may waive any event (Paragraph 7(a)). |
D. Never charged
| Item | Amount | How it is computed |
|---|---|---|
| Same Day Pay | None | No fee for same-day settlement. |
| Discretionary fines | None | ARI charges only the compliance items listed in Section C, at the amounts stated there. |
| Telematics-only events (harsh braking, harsh cornering, harsh acceleration) | None | Coaching only. Repeated events are grounds for termination under Paragraph 14(a) but are never charged. |
| Administrative fees on tolls, permits or towing | None | Pass-through items in Section B carry no markup. |
