Limited Access Fee

Limited Access Fee


A limited access fee is an additional charge included in your freight bill by the carrier due to the provision of extra services or time required. It may be applicable in various scenarios.

This fee is often applied when a shipment is destined for a commercial establishment not accessible to the general public during typical business hours (8 AM-5 PM), or locations that are not readily reachable via main roads. Examples of such limited access points include, but are not restricted to:

  1. Construction sites
  2. Fairs and carnivals
  3. Event stadiums or venues
  4. Military bases
  5. Mine sites
  6. Prisons
  7. Schools or universities
  8. Storage facilities
  9. Piers
  10. Airports
  11. Farms and ranches
  12. Campgrounds
  13. Zoos
  14. Reservations
  15. Government facilities
  16. Hotels/motels or resorts
  17. Hospitals
  18. Doctor’s offices
  19. Strip malls
  20. Places of worship
These examples illustrate instances where the delivery location presents challenges or requires additional effort beyond standard delivery procedures.
