Kill Excess Accessorial Costs

Your guide to avoiding unnecessary freight costs & strengthening carrier relationships

Detention… Lumpers… TONU…

It’s the stuff we don’t really like talking about, but it is important that we do.

Because, accessorial fees can easily turn into a real freightmare…

Leaving you with significantly higher shipping costs, invoicing issues, a blown budget… and soured carrier relationships.

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

So, to help you cover all your bases, the team at FLS put together this Master List of Accessorial Charges.

It’s designed to help you build a rock solid accessorial policy.

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 rates for each charge

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

Wild rate and 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 have increased 19%.

The Master List of Accessorials will help you build your accessorial policy so you can keep your costs in check and address any extra charges up front with your carriers.
