Ala. Admin. Code r. 770-X-10-.05-.11
Every tariff which contains distance or mileage rates must publish the distances to apply between either the basing points or all points from and to which the rates apply and/or make provisions for the computation of distances to be used in determining such rates from or to points for which no distances are published. If highway distances are to be used but are not published in the tariff, they may be computed by the use of a governing mileage guide tariff or similar publication (not a rate tariff) or the current Official Alabama Highway Map which is published by the Alabama State Highway Department. If the Official Alabama Highway Map is used, the tariff must contain a rule governing its use which reads substantially as follows:
"In the event a shipment originates at or is destined to a point for which distances are not provided in the tariff, distances will be computed via the shortest paved Interstate, U.S. and/or State highways (not County roads), by adding or deducting the distance shown on the current Official Alabama Highway Map from or to points for which distances are published.
If no distances are published in the tariff, to the extent possible, distances will be computed between principal points between which cumulative distances are shown on the map.
For distances from or to points not shown on the Official Alabama Highway Map, or from or to points located on County roads, add or deduct the actual odometer mileage from or to the nearest point or points as provided in the preceding paragraphs."
