What Are Accessorial Charges?

• Liftgate: Required for unloading at locations without loading docks.
• Re-consignment: Changing the delivery destination after pickup.
• Layover: Charges for failure to load or unload during scheduled appointment times.
• Special handling or equipment: For items needing unique handling (e.g., lift gates, special permits).

Shippers and receivers can minimize unexpected fees by understanding accessorial charges and planning ahead.
