jwm, <br />I know you didn't imply that demurrage was an offset to per diem. The reason I mentioned that was that in many of the station closing hearings that was brought up and that the idea of a per diem/demurrage relationship was so pervasive that many though that was the purpose of demurrage. <br />Of course, this is incorrect. Demurrage is a miscellaneous charge to customers, supported by tariff, to encourage the expeditious loading or unloading of rail equipment. It's next of kin is detention used in intermodal ops. Tim Argubright has asked me to write an explanation of demurrage. I will do so under a new thread since this is a subject that would have limited interest. I would welcome any comments you have. <br />Regards and have a safe day. gdc
