1. No. Average agreement would have somewhat of an effect of a demurrage volumn discount. <br />2. Demurrage rates are not all that expensive until you get into arbitraries. There are some cars that have an extraordinary extra charge, such as depressed center flats. <br />3. Not ordinarily. There may be some incentive demurrage tariffs around that would allow that though. It would be up to the serving railroad. <br />4. The phone call would release the car and demurrage would stop. If the car were not empty when the crew arrived to pick it up, demurrage would continue or if the crew picked it up anyway, there would be an intraterminal switch charge to get it back. <br />The system is designed to disallow customers from playing games. If a customer were to continually try this tactic, they could lose any credit status and therefore lose their average agreement privilege. <br />Regards and have a safe day. gdc
