The Less-than-truckload (LTL) industry is finding themselves pushed to the limit due to increased freight volumes and tighter capacity. Because of this capacity crunch, we’ve experienced more LTL Carriers applying an “extreme overlength” fee with large dimensions to individual items that are more than eight (8) feet in length, as opposed to the standard 12 feet.
The over length fee, along with the other additional services mentioned above, will remain a pass through of charges attached to the shipment.
In an attempt to minimize delays in the supply chain, please consider taking proactive measures that include placing bookings as far in advance of the desired departure as possible and/or providing flexibility in scheduling of pickup and delivery appointment dates/times.
