Some lines count the day of return as part of the free days

Generally, to avoid per diem you need to return the container to the
ramp before the free days are over.
Some lines start counting the number of days from day of pickup
Generally, the rails depart every day so storage often does not apply at
ramp terminals. However, they could apply at the port
To avoid demurrage, always return after ERD date
If the container was returned after ERD but the rail arrives too early to
the port, demurrage could apply. However this is generally absorbed
by the line depending on the situation
If it was returned before ERD (and the rail accepted it) but it arrives to
the port too early, demurrage could apply and we are responsible for it
