handle is hein.gao/gaobadmue0001 and id is 1 raw text is: QE ~The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matterof- Audit Company - Pioneer Van Lines, Inc. File: B-222263 Date: August 10, 1987 DIGEST The General Services Administration deducted as overcharges the difference between the charges billed by the carrier on a combination of rates and a through rate applicable from the Storage-In-Transit location to destination. In view of the tender's plain language, there is no merit in the carrier's contention that for delivery of household goods. shipments more than 50 miles from the Storage-In-Transit point, two rates are applicable: a drayage rate for the first 50 miles and a linehaul rate applicable for the miles beyond. Clearly, only one rate, whichever is higher, is applicable. GSA's action is sustained. DECISION The Audit Company, on behalf of Pioneer Van Lines, Inc. (Pioneer), requests review of a deduction of freight charges taken by the General Services Administration (GSA) pursuant to 31 U.S.C. S 3726 (1982). We sustain GSA's action. BACKGROUND GSA's deduction is based on an audit determination that Pioneer collected overcharges on a bill for the trans- portation of a shipment of household goods, weighing 3,001 pounds, from its Storage-In-Transit (SIT) location in Hyattsville, Prince George's County, Maryland, to its final destination in Columbus, Ohio, a distance of 396 miles.1/ 1/ These services followed the International Through Government Bill of Lading (ITGBL) movement of the shipment from Korea on GBL No. FP-168051, issued by the U.S. Air Force. The charges for the ITGBL transportation are not in issue. 0151:(c(07
