File: B-221663 Date: October 10, 1986 DIGEST Where there is persuasive evidence showing that the billing/ delivering carrier advised the government to call another carrier to pick up a shipment as its agent, and the Govern- ment Bill of Lading, which was issued to the billing/deliver- ing carrier, was receipted by the other carrier as its agent, the General Services '.dministration.'13 (GSA) audit determina-. tion that charges based .n the billing/delivering carrier's single-line rates were applicable (rather that the charges based on higher joint-line rates the carrier collected) was correct. Therefore, GSA's recovery of the difference as overcharges is sustained. DECISION This decision results from our review of deduction action taken by the General Services Administration (GSA) to recover overcharges collected by Yellow Freight System, Inc. (Yellow). We sustain GSA's action. BACKGROUND The record indicates that Merchants Fast Motor Lines, Inc. (Merchants), picked up a shipment from the U.S. Army Reserve Center, 327th Chemical Company, at Bay City, Texas, on Decem- ber 17, 1982, and transferred it to yellow at Houston for delivery to Bloomington, Illinois. Yellow collected freight charges for the through transportation based on joint-line rates. The GSA determined that lower single-line rates, which were offered in Yellow's Tender No. ICC 2094, were applicable, on the theory that Merchants was merely Yellow's pick-up agent, rather than an interline carrier. GSA then recovered the difference between the charges collected and charges derived from Tender No. 2094 as overcharges. 03704/
