Limited Access locations present unique challenges that carriers must navigate to ensure successful and efficient deliveries. These locations, are often restricted to the general public and require additional time, effort, and resources from carriers.

In this article, we will delve into what LTL accessorial charges are and how they are applied to various limited access locations.

These locations may include guard shacks, unmanned storage facilities, gate enclosures, schools, military bases, nuclear facilities, and others.
LTL accessorial charges refer to the additional fees that carriers impose on shipments destined for locations classified as limited access. These charges aim to cover the extra costs associated with accessing and delivering goods to such sites.

By applying accessorial charges, carriers ensure fair compensation for the additional efforts required to complete these deliveries successfully.
