TLI university: Limited Access Locations

Less-than-truckload (LTL) limited access accessorial fees are charges that may be added to the cost of shipping when certain conditions or circumstances are present. These fees are designed to cover additional costs that may be incurred by the carrier when delivering or picking up shipments.

Some common examples of situations that may trigger limited access accessorial fees include:

  • Delivery to or Pickup from a Residential Address

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

  • Delivery to or Pickup from a Location with Limited or Restricted Access

    This may include locations with narrow streets, low overhangs, or other obstacles that make it difficult for the carrier's trucks to access the pickup or delivery location.

  • Delivery to or Pickup from a Location with Special Requirements

    This may include locations that require special equipment or handling, such as construction sites, schools, or hospitals.

  • Delivery to or Pickup From a Location with Extended Hours

    Carriers may charge an additional fee for deliveries or pickups outside of their normal business hours, or for locations that require early morning or late evening deliveries.

Limited access accessorial fees vary by carrier and may be based on the specific conditions or circumstances present at the pickup or delivery location. It is important to understand these fees and to factor them into the overall cost of shipping when making transportation decisions.

Rule of Thumb Summary

In summary, LTL limited access accessorial fees are charges that may be added to the cost of shipping when certain conditions or circumstances are present. These fees help to cover additional costs that may be incurred by the carrier when delivering or picking up shipments and may be based on the specific conditions or requirements at the pickup or delivery location.
