A limited access fee is an additional charge added to your freight bill due to the carrier’s consideration of extra service or time, and may be applied in several different instances.

This type of service may be applied to a shipment that is being delivered to a commercial establishment that is not open to the walk-in public during the normal business hours of 8 AM-5 PM, or areas that are not normally accessible via main roads. Examples of limited access points may include, but are not limited to:

  • construction sites

  • fairs and carnivals

  • Event stadiums or venues

  • military bases

  • mine sites

  • prisons

  • schools or universities

  • storage facilities

  • piers

  • airports

  • farms and ranches

  • campgrounds

  • zoos

  • reservations

  • government facilities

  • hotels/motels or resorts

  • hospitals

  • doctor’s offices

  • gas stations / convenience stores / strip malls

  • places of worship

  • restaurants

  • grocery specific warehouses

  • car dealerships

Integrated carriers will typically classify a location that requires smaller than 48 foot
trailer in order to access as Limited Access.
