Time Freight. Essential Documents Required to be Completed

	The Collection Note. Click to view a sample All freight collections which originate from a collection at your door, or the door of the supplier sending to you, must be accompanied by a fully completed Collection Note. This document is supplied by us but must be completed by you and serves to indicate the service required by you. Other essential information and instructions are provided for, including "Receiver's" address and contact details, description of the goods you are sending etc, including how you intend paying for the service required. The document is completed in triplicate and a copy is left with you as proof that we have collected freight from you. The Collection Note is not an invoice but it is essential for the generation of a waybill. Any freight you drop off at our depot becomes a terminal parcel and does not require the completion of a Collection Note. Your instructions are recorded directly onto a "Waybill", of which the sender receives a copy.
	The Waybill. Click to view a sample A Waybill is our tax invoice for non-account holders wherein all your service instructions are recorded and charged for. Account holders will receive a consolidated tax invoice at month end which also serves as a statement, listing all waybills for the month. Waybills are computer generated and printed in quadruplicate by the sending depot. The first copy is utilised for our Administration and Accounts records purposes, the second copy serves as a Proof of Delivery, the third copy is the Receiver’s Tax Invoice (for non-account holders) and the fourth copy serves as the Sender’s proof of the transaction,

Time Freight. Freight Charges (Transport Charges)

We offer our customers an express freight service where we, generally speaking, have no fixed restrictions on the freight size or shape. All our vehicles have the load carrying space enclosed, customised in the form of either built trailers or canopies. Whilst we have a varied capacity to carry a wide range of goods we reserve the right to decline, without prejudice or obligation, freight if it does not meet our minimum standards in respect of the quality of your packaging, and acceptability of the freight. This convenience is unique and our charges to transport your freight are contained in our Service Rate Sheet.

Transport costs are determined in two ways. :

1. The first is based on the actual weight of the consignment on the vehicle’s load body where, it is accepted that, other items can be packed on top - Weight.
2. The second is based on the space the consignment will occupy in the vehicle’s load body - Volumetric Weight.

The need for this differential is e.g., you may send 20 foam mattresses which weigh 100kgs in total. They occupy 50% of load body space in a vehicle which has a load carrying capacity of 4000 kg.

When the total consignment, weighed on our scale, weighs 20 kg or less, then the transport costs are determined by the actual weight, in Kilogram’s, of the total consignment. Costs are determined according to a range e.g., 0 -5kg, 6 -10 kg etc.

When the total consignment, weighed on our scale, weighs more than 20kgs, then the volume of space the consignment will occupy in our vehicle is measured by the product of the calculation (height x width x breadth) in cm divided by 6000. This formula converts volume mass into weight and the costs are determined according to the weight ranges on our rate sheet.
