Accessorial charges are fees for services beyond standard pickup and delivery, such as liftgate, detention, layover, or residential delivery.
Common accessorials
- Detention and layover
- Liftgate service
- Residential or limited-access delivery
- Reconsignment and redelivery
- Tarping (flatbed)
Accessorials are easy to miss and easy to dispute. Capturing them accurately at booking protects margin and prevents billing surprises later.
