D.C. 20548 FILE: DATE: JN1 17 B-183090 MATTER OF: Ultra Special Express DIGEST: 1. Special weekend or holiday charges on overdimensional shipments moving under special permits are proper only when carrier has valid highway permit for the day preceding and the day following the Saturday, Sunday or holiday. See 54 Comp. Gen. 308 (1974); and B-182616, February 20, 1976. 2. In absence of request by shipper, and in accordance with tariff provision effective on date of shipment, charges for a route survey on overdimensional shipments are not allowable. B-182616, February 20, 1976. Ultra Special Express (Ultra) requests review of the actions of our former Transportation and Claims Division (TCD) in dis- allowing its claim for $375.40 and in collecting by deduction an amended overcharge of $410.20. These actions were taken to adjust the freight charges applicable to an overdimensional shipment of a crane shovel which was transported by Ultra from Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, to the Military Ocean Terminal at Bayonne, New Jersey, on Government bill of lading (GBL) No. H-0775332, issued March 15, 1973. As a result of TCD's actions, the amount of freight charges now in dispute is $785.60, the difference between the total charges claimed to be applicable by Ultra ($1,375.40), and those claimed to be applicable by TCD ($589.80). The transportation audit function of the General Accounting Office's Transportation and Claims Division recently was trans- ferred to the General Services Administration (GSA) under the provisions of the General Accounting Office Act of 1974, 88 Stat. 1959, approved January 2, 1975. The Act provides that nothing shall be deemed to prevent any carrier or forwarder from requesting the Comptroller General to review the action on its claim by the General Services Administration.
