Accessorials

Accessorials are additional services applied to a shipment. Pass them in the charges array of your rate request.

LTL accessorials

Charge	Description
`arrival notice`	Destination wants notification before delivery
`arrival schedule`	Destination requires a delivery appointment
`liftgate pickup`	Liftgate needed at the pickup location
`liftgate delivery`	Liftgate needed at the delivery location
`inside pickup`	Carrier brings freight inside the pickup facility
`inside delivery`	Carrier brings freight inside the delivery facility
`sort and segregate`	Carrier sorts and separates items at delivery
`protect from freezing`	Temperature-controlled transit to prevent freezing

arrival notice and arrival schedule are mutually exclusive. Include one or the other, not both.

Facility type charges

Location-based charges (residential delivery, trade show, limited access, etc.) are applied automatically based on the originType and destType fields. You do not need to list them as accessorials. For example, setting destType: "residential" automatically adds the residential delivery surcharge.

Parcel accessorials

Charge	Description
`signature required`	Requires a signature at delivery
`adult signature required`	Requires an adult signature at delivery
`indirect signature required`	Allows an indirect signature (FedEx only, residential destinations only)
