An HGC may offer the following service options. However, an HGC may not charge for these or any other services unless the charge is included in the HGC's commission-approved tariff.
A. Space reservation: The HGC may not enter into an agreement for the shipper to pay for a minimum number of cubic or linear feet in the HGC's transporting vehicle, regardless of how much space is actually occupied by the shipment, when the shipment completely occupies the transporting vehicle.
B. Expedited service: An HGC may subject shipments weighing less than the minimums specified in this subsection to reasonable delay for consolidation aboard a single vehicle. When a shipper orders expedited service with a specified delivery date and the HGC is unable to consolidate the shipment with other shipments, the HGC may base transportation charges on the specified minimum weights.

D. Guaranteed pickup and delivery: The liability provided by a guaranteed pickup and delivery agreement is in addition to and shall in no way limit the liability of the HGC otherwise provided by law.
E. Storage in transit:
F. Accessorial services. An HGC shall clearly describe on the bill of lading each accessorial service provided to a shipper.
G. Advanced charges. The HGC may bill a shipper for services not performed by the HGC but by a third party at the shipper's request only if such services are clearly described on the bill of lading and supported by a copy of the third party's invoice.
