# Location types

> Facility types for origin and destination locations.

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

| `business dock`    | Commercial location with a loading dock (default) |
| `business no dock` | Commercial location without a loading dock        |

## 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

```json theme={null}
{
  "originPostalCode": "60601",
  "originType": "business dock",
  "destPostalCode": "90210",
  "destType": "residential"
}
```
