TL & LTL carriers have add-on charges or accessorial charges for any “special services” that they provide. Anything beyond a simple dock pick-up and dock delivery is considered “special” for TL & LTL carriers. It is extremely important that you as our customer know and understand where your shipment is going and what extra services may be needed. Any unforeseen charges relating to services not identified during the order process by our customers is their responsibility not Smart Cabinetry’s. These extra charges are commonly called accessorial charges. All carriers have these published in their Rules tariff which can be from 20 to 200 pages.
