6 Most Common LTL Accessorials

An additional charge for delivering a shipment to a residential address instead of a commercial location. This fee is based on the extra time and labor required to make a residential delivery. 

A fee for using a liftgate to load or unload a shipment from a truck. Liftgates are commonly used for heavy or bulky items that cannot be manually loaded onto a truck. 

A fee for delivering a shipment to a location that has limited access, such as a construction site or a military base. This fee is based on the extra time and labor required to make a delivery to a difficult-to-reach location. 

A fee for providing advanced notice to the recipient that a shipment is about to arrive. This service is often used for time-sensitive shipments that need to be closely monitored. TLI often waives this shipment for shippers as it benefits both the carrier and consignee when the freight is offloaded as scheduled.

An additional charge for delivering a shipment inside a building, rather than just dropping it off at the loading dock. This service is often required for large or fragile items that need special handling.
