Ways to Receive and View Freight Bills

You can view and download freight bills through eFreightBill in AccessNS.

Login or register to AccessNS

You can request to receive freight bill copies via email.

EDI is an electronic transfer of information between business entities using public standards. These standards are governed by the Accredited Standards Committee X12 of the American National Standards Institute.

With EDI, you can receive freight bills electronically.

If you have questions about setup or testing for electronic billing, email RAO.EDI410@nscorp.com

Ways to Pay via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

Norfolk Southern can accept and process Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) transactions via Automated Clearing House (ACH) or wire transfer. We recommend ACH rather than wire payments as they are more cost-efficient for customers.

If you have questions about EFT options, contact CashAppDL@nscorp.com

Our ACH Debit Plan program is an auto draft payment scheduled by Norfolk Southern. This program simplifies the payment approval process and ensures that payments meet credit terms.

Invoices

When you enroll in the program, you’ll receive a weekly statement of invoices accrued during the previous week. These invoices include both linehaul and miscellaneous charges associated with linehaul movements. You can elect to receive statements on any day of the week. Customers enrolled in the ACH Debit Plan are exempt from Finance Charges, below.

You can view freight bill copies online using eFreight Bill in AccessNS. We can also send bill copies via email upon request.

Disputes
You must advise your Revenue Account Analyst of disputes on weekly statements by 12:30 p.m. EST, at least two business days before the ACH debit date for that statement. We'll work with you to resolve all disputes before the debit date and will debit the amount of undisputed charges only. We'll cancel disputed charges resolved in your favor. The next debit statement will show any disputed charges resolved in favor of Norfolk Southern.

Transfer of Funds
Funds are debited from your bank account via automatic draft.

Sign Up for the ACH Debit Plan Program
To sign up for the ACH Debit Plan program, complete, sign, and submit the online ACH Debit Plan form.

Questions?
If you have any questions, you can contact the Revenue Account Analyst whose name, telephone number, and email address appear on your freight bill. You can also email REVACCTRACSAutomotive-MGMT@nscorp.com

Ways to Submit Remittance

EDI is an electronic transfer of information between business entities using public standards. These standards are governed by the Accredited Standards Committee X12 of the American National Standards Institute.

You can use EDI with an 820 addenda record to electronically remit ACH payments to Norfolk Southern. This reduces the payment cycle and eliminates the risk of cash application errors.

Contact CashAppDL@nscorp.com if you have questions about using EDI to submit remittance.

You can also submit remittance via email. Send remittance information to CashApp1@nscorp.com
