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)
