ON TIME

SERVICE Gold Point will make a professional effort to adhere to appointment times. Correct railroad/steamship information, equipment problems, terminal congestion and highway problems will influence upon our arrivals. We will contact our customers and advise them of any delays. We, however, reserve the right to consider "on time arrival" as up to one hour past an appointment time (rail pickups) and two hours (plus any delay hours inside marine terminals) past an appointment time (harbor pickups). Our customers must realize this and help accommodate.

Any additional charges incurred will be the responsibility of the billed party.
