Accessorial charges are incurred when services above and beyond the cost of the freight and fuel are required. The charge for these services will be confirmed in the quote, as a separate item, if the Service is when requesting quote, or if the Service is confirmed during the booking process. There are times when Accessorial Charges are required outside of normal circumstances. For instance, a Receiver may have a dock , but due to unusual circumstance (dock under construction, not accessible,) a tailgate may be required to complete the delivery, or wait time at the pick up or delivery. This may not be known at time of booking, however, M.A.K. Freight Systems will make you aware of any and all additional charges as they are incurred.
