Accessorial Charges
Accessorial
charges are fees for additional services in addition to the main transportation
service. Accessorial charges can be optional or mandatory, depending on your
business needs. Optional charges, such as Assisted Loading charges, are based on
those facilities requiring assisted loading. Mandatory accessorial charges are
charges such as a fuel surcharge that are applied by the carrier to all
shipments. When defining
a
shipment or a shipment detail, or requesting a rate estimate, shippers are able
to indicate whether any of these services apply, and will provide detailed
information about the service. Carriers are able to define accessorial charges
based on these services. When calculating a rate, all the accessorial charges
that apply for the chosen carrier, commodity, and equipment will be considered.
