Special Destinations When Shipping Freight
Some shipping locations require specialized shipping services to complete the order. This can be anything from moving the load into a different truck, specific equipment for loading and unloading, needing a liftgate, and more. Essentially, if the standard freight handling equipment isn’t enough to handle the delivery of the shipment, accessorials become necessary additions.
Residential Locations
Residential locations (or non-commercial locations) are not usually freight truck-friendly, so deliveries to residential and at-home businesses typically cost more. Residential locations are located across the U.S., and avoiding them is sometimes impossible. The difference between a residential zone location and a commercially zoned location is that commercially zoned locations open and close to the public at a set time every day.
Residentially zoned locations can include any of the following:
– Apartments
– Residences
– Farms
– Estates
– Remote locations
– Home-based businesses
Avoid added residential shipping fees by noting the residential delivery location in advance when filling out your freight quote.
