Liftgate Option

The Liftgate Charge is a fairly common accessorial fee. What is a liftgate? A liftgate is a hydraulic  accessorial device used to lower the pallet to from the end of the truck to the ground level.  Typically this is used for items leaving from or going to residential locations or those locations where there is no loading dock or there is no forklift available.  If you do not opt for a liftgate, the driver is only responsible for taking your shipment to the end of the truck and you must take care of getting the pallet off of the truck.
