White Paper – The Master List of Accessorials for Shippers

Detention…Lumpers…TONU…

It’s the stuff we don’t really want to talk about, but it’s important that we do. 

Because accessorials can easily turn into a real freightmare…

Leaving you with significantly higher shipping costs, lower profit margins, a blown budget…and soured carrier relationships. 

Truth is, logistics isn’t always easy or smooth. 

Cover your bases with The Master List of Accessorials. 

It’s the A-to-Z guide that includes: 

• The 28 fees & charges you have to discuss with carriers before tendering a load 
• The definitions & explanations for each fee
• The standard industry rate for each charge 

The last 36 months have been the most volatile years ever for freight.

Wild capacity fluctuations, ELDs, HOS rules, gas prices, trade wars and black swan events delivered a new level of unpredictability to the shipping market.

And the result…total spending for freight costs increased 19.3% from September 2017 to September 2018. 

The Master List of Accessorials will help you keep your costs in check in 2019 by allowing you to address any charges up front with your carriers.
