What is airline delivery – pick up?
The airline delivery or pick up accessorial should be selected when you are picking up or delivering to an airline at an airport facility. These locations require additional time and paperwork and therefore incur an additional fee. Not all carriers offer this service. IF you select the accessorial at time of quote the fee for the accessorial will be added to the rate quote and carriers not offering the service will not be shown as an option. This is not to be confused with the TSA program accessorial which would provide you with options for trucking companies that run a TSA security program in the USA. Additionally, it’s important to note that this accessorial is only applicable for domestic trucking moves only. IF you are booking airfreight you do not need to select this option. IF there are long wait times for loading or unloading the drivers WILL NOT wait for the pickup or delivery and additional dry run or redelivery fees may apply. ExFreight nor the carrier will be responsible for any storage charges incurred at the airline due to a missed pickup. IF you require documents to be provided to the driver before pick up or delivery you can email them to ops@exfreight.com and we will forward them to the driver. Lead times for pickups from airlines are longer as the drivers leave in the AM with any required paperwork for that day so a same day pick up is not always available. Original documents may be lost in transit and we recommend they are couriered directly to the airline ahead of time. We highly recommend the use of transfer agents who specialize in airport/airline pickups and use national trucking carriers to either pick up from the transfer carriers dock or deliver to the transfer carriers dock. National trucking carrier deliveries or pickups directly from airline facilities are unreliable due to the high wait times and complicated paperwork required at these facilities. If you book your shipment without selecting the accessorial and the fee does apply you will be additionally billed for the service or location.
