• Diversions
• Reconsignments
• Switches
• Special switches

• No Waybill
• Refrigeration Usage & Extended Usage Fees
• Overloads
• Hazardous Material Fee
• Dirty Car
• Riders

The purpose of this policy change is to help customers resolve open accessorial and other invoices quickly, effectively, and accurately. Union Pacific will work constructively with customers to understand the category, instance, and rationale of the open charges.

In order to help resolve the open invoices for customers, Union Pacific asks customers to do the following to quickly resolve open invoices:

1. Understand – Understand the reason for the open invoices and why they were generated.
