Location types

Use these values in the originType and destType fields. The location type affects accessorial charges — for example, residential locations incur a residential delivery surcharge automatically.

Available types

Type	Description
`business dock`	Commercial location with a loading dock (default)
`business no dock`	Commercial location without a loading dock
`residential`	Home or residential address
`limited access`	Location with restricted access
`trade show`	Trade show or exhibition venue
`construction`	Active construction site
`farm`	Agricultural or farm location
`military`	Military base or installation
`airport`	Airport facility
`place of worship`	Church, mosque, temple, etc.
`school`	Educational institution
`mine`	Mining operation
`pier`	Dock or pier facility

How location types affect pricing

Non-standard locations (anything other than business dock) typically incur additional accessorial charges from carriers. These charges are applied automatically based on the location type — you do not need to add them to the charges array separately. Common surcharges:

Residential — Residential pickup/delivery fee
Limited access — Limited access surcharge
Liftgate — Often required at locations without a dock (but must be requested separately via accessorials)

Example

{
  "originPostalCode": "60601",
  "originType": "business dock",
  "destPostalCode": "90210",
  "destType": "residential"
}
