Corrected bills of lading or other instructions to change the freight charges collection status from prepaid to collect will not be accepted after the shipment has been delivered. 2.

A request to change the original freight charges collection status from collect to prepaid will require a corrected bill of lading from the shipper and the shipper must have established credit with SAIA.

An additional $15.00 charge will be accessed whenever a shipper neglects to include a valid quote number on the original bill of lading and a change is required to add the quote number and rate at a later date.
